Removing the brackets from an array in Ruby

So I have an object named plan_code which is in the database as a string. However I'm trying to allow for multiple entries to be implemented. I have the user separated these entries by a comma.

I've worked on splitting the integers, but i've run into a problem in that after I split them and display them, they are surrounded by brackets as if they have become one large array.

In my model my code looks like

def bob
  plan_code.split(",").map(&:to_i)
end

My results wind up as [123451, 52354, 12345]

I'm wondering what I can do to get rid of those brackets and just list the integers?

If you're storing your values as a string such as "123, 123" then there is no point in map &:to_i.

You can use plan_code.split(",").join(", ") or alternatively plan_code.gsub(",", ", ")
