I’m trying to use a wildcard in an if but the solution is evading me. Is
there a special character ruby uses as a general wildcard? My problem
below is our domains are all setup to resolve on any combination of
domain1.com www.domain1.com w2w.domain1.com etc. It must also be case
insensitive.
domain = ENV[‘HTTP_HOST’]
if domain == ‘*domain1.com’; printf “
Welcome to Domain 1
”
elsif domain == ‘?
domain2.com’; printf “
Welcome to Domain 2
”
elsif domain == ‘
domain3.com’; printf “
Welcome to Domain 3
”
elsif domain == ‘
domain4.com’; printf “
Welcome to Domain 4
”
elsif domain == ‘
domain5.com’; printf “
Welcome to Domain 5
”
end
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks

end
Hello. When you compare two strings using ==, it is the exact match and
there are no wildcards in this kind of comparison. Use Regexen for your
task.
Try this:
if mat=domain.match(/domain([0-9]).com$/i)
dm=mat[1].to_i
if (1…5).include?(dm)
printf “
Welcome to Domain #{dm}
”
else
# bad domain number
end
else
not matching the pattern
end
If you have domains with more digits (10, 11, …), change to ([0-9]+)
in the Regex. Note the dot before com is escaped. The $ at the end means
that the string must end at com (without it, www.domain4.com.ru would
qualify also). The /i at the end of the pattern makes it case
insensitive. mat[1] reads the first parenthesised group from the Regexp,
which is the domain number in our case.
Hope that helped.

Yes thanks.
I did find a simpler way though. The ‘’ were the problem.
domain = ENV[‘HTTP_HOST’]
if domain =~ /domain1.com/;printf “
Welcome to Domain 1
”
elsif domain =~ /domain2.com/;printf “
Welcome to Domain 2
”
elsif domain =~ /domain3.com/;printf “
Welcome to Domain 3
”
elsif domain =~ /domain4.com/;printf “
Welcome to Domain 4
”
elsif domain =~ /domain5.com/;printf “
Welcome to Domain 5
”
end
