Title
Body
Take for instance, I have a string like this: options = "Cake or pie, ice cream, or pudding" I want to be able to split the string via or , , , and , or . The thing is, is that I have been able to do it, but only by parsing , and , or first, and then splitting each array item at or , flattening the resultant array afterwards as such: options = options.split(/(?:\s?or\s)*([^,]+)(?:,\s*)*/).reject(&:empty?); options.each_index {|index| options[index] = options[index].sub("?","").split(" or "); } The resultant array is as such: ["Cake", "pie", "ice cream", "pudding"] Is there a more efficient (or easier) way to split my string on those three delimiters?
