My problem is simple:
|
|
|
|
I want to filter a text except some part of it. I can match easily the part I don't want to be filtered. For example
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<code class="html">
|
|
...
|
|
text
|
|
...
|
|
BEGIN not to filter
|
|
...
|
|
text
|
|
...
|
|
END not to filter
|
|
...
|
|
text
|
|
...
|
|
</code>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
I searched a better way to do that, but the best I can do is using `split` and `scan`.
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<code class="ruby">
|
|
def allExceptCode( f, content )
|
|
regexp=/<code[^>]*>.*?<\/code>/m
|
|
tmp=""
|
|
mem=[]
|
|
content.scan(regexp).each do |c|
|
|
mem <<= c
|
|
end
|
|
i=0
|
|
content.split(regexp).each do |x|
|
|
tmp <<= send(f,x)
|
|
if not mem[i].nil?
|
|
tmp <<= mem[i]
|
|
i+=1
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
tmp
|
|
end
|
|
</code>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
An usage is:
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<code class="ruby">
|
|
def filter(content)
|
|
content.gsub(/e/,'X')
|
|
end
|
|
...
|
|
allExceptCode(:filter, content)
|
|
...
|
|
</code>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
A better syntax would be:
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<code class="ruby">
|
|
# !!!!!!!!!! THIS SYNTAX DOES NOT WORK !!!!!!! #
|
|
def allExceptCode( f, content )
|
|
regexp=/<code[^>]*>.*?<\/code>/m
|
|
tmp=""
|
|
content.split(regexp).each do |x|
|
|
separator=$&
|
|
tmp <<= send(f,x)
|
|
if not separator.nil?
|
|
tmp <<= separator
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
tmp
|
|
end
|
|
</code>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
I would expect the split make a search on a regular expression and then give the matched expression into the `$&` variable. But it is not the case.
|
|
|
|
If someone know a nicer way to do that I will be happy to know how.
