Base32hex (rfc 4648)

Ruby
1

Hi -

Does anyone know if there is existing Ruby code which implements
base32hex encoding (defined in RFC 4648)? I couldn’t find one with
google…

Thanks very much for your help!

HEX = ‘[0-9a-v]’
def decode32hex(str)
str.gsub(/\G\s*(#{HEX}{8}|#{HEX}{7}=|#{HEX}{5}={3}|#{HEX}{4}={4}|#{HEX}{2}={6}|(\S))/imno)

raise “invalid base32” if $2
s = $1
s.tr("=", “0”).to_i(32).divmod(256).pack(“NC”)[0,
(s.count("^=")*5).div(8)]
end

Great, natural but explicit usage of Ruby’s MatchData object and
parallel
assignment!
