String#word(Index):

I made a little method that allowed me to replace "String".split(" ")[index] with "String".word index. I know that this is relatively simple, but I still found it kinda neat.

 
class String
 
 def word(index)
  return self.split(" ")[index] if index.class != Range
  return self.split(" ")[index].join(" ")
 end
 
end
 

And here's it in action. Note that I also implemented a renamed version; String#w(index):

 
dummy = "Hello my deary, dearsome, deareary, dearlicious and dearful dearies!"
 
dummy.word 3     #=> "dearsome,"
dummy.w 3        #=> "dearsome,"
 
dummy.word 0..-1 #=>"Hello my deary, dearsome, deareary, dearlicious and dearful dearies!"
dummy.w 0..2     #=>"Hello my deary,"
