Returns a copy of self with each invalid byte sequence replaced by the given replacement_string.

With no block given and no argument, replaces each invalid sequence with the default replacement string ("�" for a Unicode encoding, '?' otherwise):

s = "foo\x81\x81bar"
s.scrub # => "foo��bar"

With no block given and argument replacement_string given, replaces each invalid sequence with that string:

"foo\x81\x81bar".scrub('xyzzy') # => "fooxyzzyxyzzybar"

With a block given, replaces each invalid sequence with the value of the block:

"foo\x81\x81bar".scrub {|bytes| p bytes; 'XYZZY' }
# => "fooXYZZYXYZZYbar"

Output:

"\x81"
"\x81"
