Returns a 3-element array of substrings of self.

Matches a pattern against self, scanning backwards from the end. The pattern is:

  • string_or_regexp itself, if it is a Regexp.

  • Regexp.quote(string_or_regexp), if string_or_regexp is a string.

If the pattern is matched, returns pre-match, last-match, post-match:

'hello'.rpartition('l')      # => ["hel", "l", "o"]
'hello'.rpartition('ll')     # => ["he", "ll", "o"]
'hello'.rpartition('h')      # => ["", "h", "ello"]
'hello'.rpartition('o')      # => ["hell", "o", ""]
'hello'.rpartition(/l+/)     # => ["hel", "l", "o"]
'hello'.rpartition('')       # => ["hello", "", ""]
'тест'.rpartition('т')       # => ["тес", "т", ""]
'こんにちは'.rpartition('に')  # => ["こん", "に", "ちは"]

If the pattern is not matched, returns two empty strings and a copy of self:

'hello'.rpartition('x') # => ["", "", "hello"]
