    You could just use something like this:

    string.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '')

    Or better:

    string.tr('aeiou', '')

    And the best tool to remove characters in a string is...

    string.delete('aeiou')

    As @Gerry suggests you can do it like this with map:

    a = nombres.map { |nombre| nombre.delete('aeiou') }
