Truncating a utf8 string

rubyonrails-core
1

I have a utf8 string that I need to truncate, but I want to obviously make sure it is truncated at a character boundary.

s.slice does not ensure that.

Is there a clean fast way to do that?

s.mb_chars.slice

Please ask questions like these on the rubyonrails-talk list the next
time, this list is for development of the framework itself.

Cheers, Eloy

Understood. Solved anyway - s.mb_chars.slice(..)
