The set of special characters and their escaped values
URL-encode a string.
url_encoded_string = CGI::escape("'Stop!' said Fred") # => "%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred"
# File cgi/util.rb, line 8 def escape(string) encoding = string.encoding string.b.gsub(/([^ a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+)/) do |m| '%' + m.unpack('H2' * m.bytesize).join('%').upcase end.tr(' ', '+').force_encoding(encoding) end
Escape only the tags of certain HTML elements in string
.
Takes an element or elements or array of elements. Each element is specified by the name of the element, without angle brackets. This matches both the start and the end tag of that element. The attribute list of the open tag will also be escaped (for instance, the double-quotes surrounding attribute values).
print CGI::escapeElement('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>', "A", "IMG") # "<BR><A HREF="url"></A>" print CGI::escapeElement('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>', ["A", "IMG"]) # "<BR><A HREF="url"></A>"
# File cgi/util.rb, line 136 def escapeElement(string, *elements) elements = elements[0] if elements[0].kind_of?(Array) unless elements.empty? string.gsub(/<\/?(?:#{elements.join("|")})(?!\w)(?:.|\n)*?>/i) do CGI::escapeHTML($&) end else string end end
Escape special characters in HTML, namely '&"<>
CGI::escapeHTML('Usage: foo "bar" <baz>') # => "Usage: foo "bar" <baz>"
# File cgi/util.rb, line 37 def escapeHTML(string) enc = string.encoding unless enc.ascii_compatible? if enc.dummy? origenc = enc enc = Encoding::Converter.asciicompat_encoding(enc) string = enc ? string.encode(enc) : string.b end table = Hash[TABLE_FOR_ESCAPE_HTML__.map {|pair|pair.map {|s|s.encode(enc)}}] string = string.gsub(/#{"['&\"<>]".encode(enc)}/, table) string.encode!(origenc) if origenc return string end string.gsub(/['&\"<>]/, TABLE_FOR_ESCAPE_HTML__) end

Prettify (indent) an HTML string.
string
is the HTML string to indent. shift
is the indentation unit to use; it defaults to two spaces.
print CGI::pretty("<HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML>") # <HTML> # <BODY> # </BODY> # </HTML> print CGI::pretty("<HTML><BODY></BODY></HTML>", "\t") # <HTML> # <BODY> # </BODY> # </HTML>
# File cgi/util.rb, line 207 def pretty(string, shift = " ") lines = string.gsub(/(?!\A)<.*?>/m, "\n\\0").gsub(/<.*?>(?!\n)/m, "\\0\n") end_pos = 0 while end_pos = lines.index(/^<\/(\w+)/, end_pos) element = $1.dup start_pos = lines.rindex(/^\s*<#{element}/i, end_pos) lines[start_pos ... end_pos] = "__" + lines[start_pos ... end_pos].gsub(/\n(?!\z)/, "\n" + shift) + "__" end lines.gsub(/^((?:#{Regexp::quote(shift)})*)__(?=<\/?\w)/, '\1') end
Format a Time
object as a String using the format specified by RFC 1123.
CGI::rfc1123_date(Time.now) # Sat, 01 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT
# File cgi/util.rb, line 183 def rfc1123_date(time) t = time.clone.gmtime return format("%s, %.2d %s %.4d %.2d:%.2d:%.2d GMT", RFC822_DAYS[t.wday], t.day, RFC822_MONTHS[t.month-1], t.year, t.hour, t.min, t.sec) end
URL-decode a string with encoding(optional).
string = CGI::unescape("%27Stop%21%27+said+Fred") # => "'Stop!' said Fred"
# File cgi/util.rb, line 18 def unescape(string,encoding=@@accept_charset) str=string.tr('+', ' ').b.gsub(/((?:%[0-9a-fA-F]{2})+)/) do |m| [m.delete('%')].pack('H*') end.force_encoding(encoding) str.valid_encoding? ? str : str.force_encoding(string.encoding) end
Undo escaping such as that done by CGI::escapeElement()
print CGI::unescapeElement( CGI::escapeHTML('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>'), "A", "IMG") # "<BR><A HREF="url"></A>" print CGI::unescapeElement( CGI::escapeHTML('<BR><A HREF="url"></A>'), ["A", "IMG"]) # "<BR><A HREF="url"></A>"
# File cgi/util.rb, line 156 def unescapeElement(string, *elements) elements = elements[0] if elements[0].kind_of?(Array) unless elements.empty? string.gsub(/<\/?(?:#{elements.join("|")})(?!\w)(?:.|\n)*?>/i) do unescapeHTML($&) end else string end end
