This will remove each "Â" character from the string: x = "3       Jubitz Travel Center               Portland,OR" x.gsub!(/Â/, "")
But you're probably looking to solve your root problem. Looks like a UTF-8 vs. ISO-8859-1 issue. Do a search for "utf-8  as a space" on your favorite search engine, and that should point you in the right direction (hopefully). Hope that helps. orde On Mar 9, 8:58 am, George <george.sand...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm not sure if this is a Watir or a Ruby question.
