How to delete specific characters from a string in Ruby?

Question

I have several strings that look like this:

\"((String1))\"

They are all different lengths. How could I remove the parentheses from all these s

Answer 1

For those coming across this and looking for performance, it looks like #delete and #tr are about the same in speed and 2-4x faster than gsub.

text = "Here is a string with / some forwa/rd slashes"
tr = Benchmark.measure { 10000.times { text.tr('/', '') } }
# tr.total => 0.01
delete = Benchmark.measure { 10000.times { text.delete('/') } }
# delete.total => 0.01
gsub = Benchmark.measure { 10000.times { text.gsub('/', '') } }
# gsub.total => 0.02 - 0.04
