Ugly Ruby code to split a message into two messages with alternate words escaped.
Raw
split-message.rb
msg = "Your message goes here."
[true, false].each{|x|puts msg.split(' ').map{|w|(x = !x) ? w : ('_'*w.length)}.join(' ')}
# Result:
# ____ message ____ here.
# Your _______ goes _____

Quickly thrown together in IRB when I wanted to send a long message to two people over Slack who claimed to be in the same place. Not perfect, certainly not secure, also damn ugly code.
