Hi, I'm working on this feature for several months. First of all, I began to implement this as a gem. https://github.com/tadd/string_undump https://github.com/tadd/string_undump/blob/master/ext/string_undump/string_undump.c Comments welcomed. I'll write a patch for trunk soon, as the next step. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12275: String unescape https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12275#change-67850 * Author: asnow (Andrew Bolshov) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I think it will be usefull to have function that convert input string as it was written in prime qouted string or in double qouted string. It's part of metaprogramming. Example: ~~~ ruby class String # Create new string like it will be writed in qoutes. Optional argument define type of qouting used: true - prime qoute, false - double qoute. Default is double qoute. def unescape prime = false eval( prime ? "'#{self}'" : "\"#{self}\"" ) end end "\\\t".unescape # => "\t" ~~~ Other requests: http://www.rubydoc.info/github/ronin-ruby/ronin-support/String:unescape http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4265928/how-do-i-unescape-c-style-escape-sequences-from-ruby http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8639642/best-way-to-escape-and-unescape-strings-in-ruby Realized http://www.rubydoc.info/github/ronin-ruby/ronin-support/String:unescape -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
