["test string\n", nil] i need to strip \n and nil

Ruby
1

im sending files back and forth form a client and a server using
sockets,

the first string the server sends to the client is the size of the file,
“59023”

the client recives this string in this format “59023\n”, nil

i need to trim \n and nil from the string so i can do some math with the
string…

[“59023\n”, nil].join.to_i

I don’t beleive it either but it’s time to say:

ary.compact.map { |l| l.chomp }.join

This is expert level (and maybe even not portable):

ary.compact!
ary.each { |l| l.chomp! }
result = ary.join

I’m quite sure that the result is always in the first array
element.

res = ary.first
res.chomp!

Everything untested.

I had it figured out a few minutes after this post… i didnt know the
differnce between a string and array… i convert the array to a string
then used compact

i thought i was working the string class so i was reading threw the
wrong page…

any ways… because of this premature post, i spent a few hours try to
solve a new problem before i ask for help…

strings=“a9digh0t5”

every 3 bytes i need broke into separate strings[x]

puts(string[1]) #==> a9d
puts(string[2]) #==> ihg
puts(string[3]) #==> 0t5

how can i brake a long string into blocks equal to 3 bytes?

I just looked it up and found thhat you probably use TCPSocket#recvfrom.

data, status = socket.recvfrom …
data.chomp!

#server.rb
require ‘socket’ # Get sockets from stdlib
server = TCPServer.open(2000) # Socket to listen on port 2000
loop { # Servers run forever
Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
file = File.new(’/pentest/windows-binaries/tools/test.exe’)
fileContent = file.read # reads the file
client.puts(fileContent)
client.close
end

}

#client
require ‘socket’

host = ‘192.168.1.4’
port = 2000
sock = TCPSocket.open(host, port)

data = sock.recvfrom(999999)
destFile = File.open(’/tmp/poop.exe’, ‘wb’)
destFile.print data
destFile.close

Ok, just to show you what im working with… it works, but there is a
file size limit when working with recvfrom()

im trying to work out a function to check file size then brake the data
into blocks…

Ridiculous. You would never compact an array just to get the first
element. If you want the first element, then grab it. See Bertram’s
posts.

If the length of the string will always be a multiple of 3, you can do
this:

str = “a9digh0t5”

str.scan(/.{3}/) do |substr|
puts substr
end

–output:–
a9d
igh
0t5

Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with ruby’s infernal each_byte() method.

Actually, you can take advantage of a regex’s greedy nature, and do this
instead:

str = “a9digh0t5xx”

str.scan(/.{1,3}/) do |substr|
puts substr
end

–output:–
a9d
igh
0t5

Skipping the basics of a language never works, does it?

lol, oops… data = sock.read

how can i send a hole directory?
#server
directory = File.new(’/pentest/windows-binaries/tools/’)
#client
folder.open(’/tmp/directory/’, ‘wb’)

Didn’t you really mean:

[“59023\n”, nil].inject("") {|acc, elmt|
“#{acc}#{elmt}”}.match(/\n/).pre_match

No, that’s not quite the same at all. (I did exactly what he asked for
in
the subject line.)

I don’t think so. That seems a bit roundabout.

I think 7stud is being sarcastic… He thinks the compact is
unnecessary, and is explaining his point by introducing other
unnecessary elements like inject.
