  • String conversion
    1 project | /r/ruby | 12 Dec 2022
    I would look to existing libraries to see how they solve the problem. Stack Overflow is OK, but I find that the "one liner" solutions you find there often oversimplify. There is a popular, and currently maintained, Rubygem library called Mail that includes a class for quoted printable, which in turn provides a class method for decoding quoted printable strings.

    This is easiest if you have a MacBook since Ruby is installed by default. You can make a small script using this Ruby gem (plugin) - https://github.com/mikel/mail
  • Ruby's Email Address Regexp
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jan 2022
    There are basically three levels of address checking:

    1) You need to validate an email field for login or a website - checking for an @ mark with some text before and at least one . after the @ will do for this.

    2) You need to do some sort of address validation, library regexps like this will do for 99.9...% of these.

    3) You are building an email handling system which needs to actually support the RFCs, in which case regexp will not handle what you need, and you need to use a proper parser, like https://github.com/mikel/mail/tree/master/lib/mail/parsers

    Email addresses have a lot of gotchas that can make rolling your own logic hard. I haven't used Ruby in a while but there are gems like Mail that can help validating email addresses easier.
