useless_string

Its a simple gem that removes useless characters from two strings and then compare them to see if they are both the same or not.

gem 'useless_string'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install useless_string

Just require the useless_string require 'useless_string' and all th appropriate methods will be available in string class.

$ require 'useless_string'
=> true
$ first = "Sum of 2 + 2 is 4"
=> "Sum of 2 + 2 is 4"
$ second = "2 + 2 = 4"
=> "2 + 2 = 4"
$ first.eql_with_only?(second, numbers: true)
=> true

There is also a method eql_without? which will take a string and an options hash. You can use eql_* or cmp_*. For now *_without accepts these options

:carriage_return
:line_feed
:end_of_line
:spaces
:numbers
:special_characters
:alphabets
:case_insensitive
:words # takes an array of words

and *_with_only accepts only

:numbers
:alphabets
:case_insensitive

There are also methods with explicit options like cmp_without_spaces or eql_without_special_characters?
