Converting %2F back to /

Ruby

I have a string which contains url. The forward slash in it represented
in ‘%2F’ and I want to convert this back to ‘/’. How can i do that?

I had to the same thing a while back:

def url_decode(s)
s.gsub(/((?:%[0-9a-fA-F]{2})+)/n) do
[$1.delete(‘%’)].pack(‘H*’)
end
end

s = “Hello there everyone!”
=> “Hello there everyone!”
u(s)
=> “Hello%20there%20everyone%21”
url_decode(u(s))
=> “Hello there everyone!”

Found this via google originally.

irb(main):001:0> require ‘uri’

=> “a/b”

Found in the standard library. :slight_smile:

Steve, I really enjoyed the Six Million Dollar Man, but, now, I kind of
wish
you would shove your bionic arm up your own ass and quit spamming this
list.
