How to include a string into a regex comparison?

[Iñaki Baz Castillo]

Hi, I don't get solving the following issue (sure it's easy but I cannot do=
it):


valid_content_type =3D "application/auth-policy+xml"
received_content_type =3D "application/auth-policy+xml;charset=3DISO-8859-1=
"

received_content_type =3D~ /^application\/auth\-policy\+xml;?/
=3D> 0

received_content_type =3D~ /^#{received_content_type};?/
=3D> nil

How to fix it? Thanks a lot.

Solved:

received_content_type =3D~ /^#{Regex.escape(received_content_type)};?/
=3D> 0

valid_content_type = "application/auth-policy+xml"

When you insert a string inside a regexp, it's evaluated as is by the
regexp engine. You need to escape the special characters (here, the +),
by prepending backslashes or asking the Regexp class to do it for you :
=> 0

Or :
=> 0

valid_content_type =A0 =A0 =A0=3D "application/auth-policy+xml"
received_content_type =3D "application/auth-policy+xml;charset=3DISO-8859= -1"

received_content_type =3D~ /^application\/auth\-policy\+xml;?/
=3D> 0

received_content_type =3D~ /^#{received_content_type};?/
=3D> nil

How to fix it? Thanks a lot.

Try this:

irb(main):001:0> valid_content_type =3D "application/auth-policy+xml"
=3D> "application/auth-policy+xml"
irb(main):002:0> received_content_type =3D
"application/auth-policy+xml;charset=3DISO-8859-1"
=3D> "application/auth-policy+xml;charset=3DISO-8859-1"
irb(main):005:0> re =3D /^#{Regexp.escape(valid_content_type)};?/
=3D> /^application\/auth\-policy\+xml;?/
irb(main):006:0> received_content_type =3D~ re
=3D> 0

Hope this helps,

Jesus.

Oh, sorry, I missed you already solved it. Anyway I wanted to point
out that maybe what you want in the Regex.escape is valid_content_type
not received_content_type...

Try this:

irb(main):001:0> valid_content_type =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0=3D "application/= auth-policy+xml"
=3D> "application/auth-policy+xml"
irb(main):002:0> received_content_type =3D
"application/auth-policy+xml;charset=3DISO-8859-1"

irb(main):005:0> re =3D /^#{Regexp.escape(valid_content_type)};?/
=3D> /^application\/auth\-policy\+xml;?/
irb(main):006:0> received_content_type =3D~ re
=3D> 0

Thanks to all, the fact is that I already solved the issue doing
exactly the same
I replied to myself in the maillist.

Thanks a lot for all your help.
