How to split a string in Ruby and get all items except the first one?

Question

String is ex=\"test1, test2, test3, test4, test5\"

when I use

ex.split(\",\").first

it returns

\"test1\"
         


        

Answer 1

Try split(",")[i] where i is the index in result array. split gives array below

["test1", " test2", " test3", " test4", " test5"] 

whose element can be accessed by index.
