using a breakpoint to inspect 'reply' in my code - but cannot figure out why it is not splitting?
[1] pry(GuideSearch)> p reply
"@twellyme film"
=> "@twellyme film"
[2] pry(GuideSearch)> p reply.class
String
=> String
[3] pry(GuideSearch)> p reply.split
["@twellyme film"]
=> ["@twellyme film"]
yet when i make reply 'by hand':
[4] pry(GuideSearch)> reply = "@twellyme film"
=> "@twellyme film"
[5] pry(GuideSearch)> p reply.split
["@twellyme", "film"]
=> ["@twellyme", "film"]
