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

Here is an even shorter way of achieving this:

1) using Negative character class pattern matching

irb(main)> "((String1))"[/[^()]+/]
=> "String1"

^ - Matches anything NOT in the character class. Inside the charachter class, we have ( and )

Or with global substitution "AKA: gsub" like others have mentioned.

irb(main)> "((String1))".gsub(/[)(]/, '')
=> "String1"
