What I want to do is to remove all accents and umlauts from a string, turning "lärm" into "larm" or "andré" into "andre". What I tried to do was to utf8_decode the string and then use strtr on it, but since my source file is saved as UTF-8 file, I can't enter the ISO-8859-15 characters for all umlauts - the editor inserts the UTF-8 chara...

I do this for both readability of URLs and SEO purposes. http://www.example.com/gallery/280-Gorges_du_Todra/ The first integer is the id, the rest is for us humans (but is irrelevant for requesting the resource). Now people can write titles containing any UTF-8 c...

Hi, There is a very similar question already. One of the solutions uses code like this one: string.mb_chars.normalize(:kd).gsub(/[^x00-\x7F]/n, '').to_s Which works wonders, until you notice it also removes spaces, dots, dashes, and who knows what else. I'm not really sure how the first code works, but could it be made to strip only...
