String#tr_s

tr_s(selector, replacements) → string

static VALUE
rb_str_tr_s(VALUE str, VALUE src, VALUE repl)
{
    str = str_duplicate(rb_cString, str);
    tr_trans(str, src, repl, 1);
    return str;
}

Like String#tr, but also squeezes the modified portions of the translated string; returns a new string (translated and squeezed).

Example

'hello'.tr_s('l', 'r')   #=> "hero"
'hello'.tr_s('el', '-')  #=> "h-o"
'hello'.tr_s('el', 'hx') #=> "hhxo"
