class Grizzled::String::Template::WindowsCmdStringTemplate

A string template that uses the Windows cmd.exe syntax +%varname%+ for variable references. A variable's name may consist of alphanumerics and underscores. To include a literal “%” in a string, escape it with a backslash (“%”).

Constants

ESCAPED_PERCENT
ESCAPED_PERCENT_PLACEHOLDER

Public Class Methods

new(resolver, options={}) click to toggle source

Initialize a new WindowsCmdStringTemplate. Supports various hash options.

Parameters:

resolver: A hash-like object that can take a variable name (via the +[]+ function) and resolve its value, returning the value (which is converted to string) or nil.
options: hash of options. See below.

Options:

:safe: true for a safe template that substitutes a blank string for a non-existent variable, instead of throwing an exception. Defaults to true.
:var_pattern: Regular expression pattern (as a string, not a Regexp object) to match a variable name. Defaults to “[A-Za-z0-9_]+”

Calls superclass method Grizzled::String::Template::TemplateBase.new

# File lib/grizzled/string/template.rb, line 335
def initialize(resolver, options={})
  super(resolver, options)
  var_pat = options.fetch(:var_pattern, "[A-Za-z0-9_]+")
  @var_re = %r{%(#{var_pat})%}
end

Public Instance Methods

find_variable_ref(s) click to toggle source

Parse the location of the first variable in the string. Subclasses should override this method.

Parameters:

s: the string

Returns a Variable object, or nil.

# File lib/grizzled/string/template.rb, line 398
def find_variable_ref(s)
  m = @var_re.match(s)
  if m.nil?
    nil
  else
    Variable.new(m.begin(0), m.end(0), m[1], nil)
  end
end

handle_match(m, s) click to toggle source

# File lib/grizzled/string/template.rb, line 364
def handle_match(m, s)
  if (m[1].length % 2) == 1
    # Odd number of backslashes before "%". Valid escape.

    b = m.begin(0)
    start = (b == 0 ? "" : s[0..(b-1)])
    start + ESCAPED_PERCENT_PLACEHOLDER + pre_sub(s[m.end(0)..-1])
  else
    # Even number of backslashes before "%". Not an escape.
    s
  end
end

pre_sub(s) click to toggle source

Kludge to handle escaped “%”. Temporarily replace it with something highly unlikely to be in the string. Then, put a single “%” in its place, after the substitution. Must be sure to handle even versus odd number of backslash characters.

# File lib/grizzled/string/template.rb, line 362
def pre_sub(s)

  def handle_match(m, s)
    if (m[1].length % 2) == 1
      # Odd number of backslashes before "%". Valid escape.

      b = m.begin(0)
      start = (b == 0 ? "" : s[0..(b-1)])
      start + ESCAPED_PERCENT_PLACEHOLDER + pre_sub(s[m.end(0)..-1])
    else
      # Even number of backslashes before "%". Not an escape.
      s
    end
  end

  # Check for an escaped "%"
  m = ESCAPED_PERCENT.match(s)
  if (m)
    handle_match(m, s)
  else
    s
  end
end

substitute(s) click to toggle source

Replace all variable references in the given string. Variable references are recognized per the regular expression passed to the constructor. If a referenced variable is not found in the resolver, this method either:

throws a VariableNotFoundException (if safe is false).
substitutes an empty string (if safe is true)

Recursive references are supported (but beware of infinite recursion).

Parameters:

s: the string in which to replace variable references

Returns the substituted result.

Calls superclass method Grizzled::String::Template::TemplateBase#substitute

# File lib/grizzled/string/template.rb, line 356
def substitute(s)
  # Kludge to handle escaped "%". Temporarily replace it with
  # something highly unlikely to be in the string. Then, put a single
  # "%" in its place, after the substitution. Must be sure to handle
  # even versus odd number of backslash characters.

  def pre_sub(s)

    def handle_match(m, s)
      if (m[1].length % 2) == 1
        # Odd number of backslashes before "%". Valid escape.

        b = m.begin(0)
        start = (b == 0 ? "" : s[0..(b-1)])
        start + ESCAPED_PERCENT_PLACEHOLDER + pre_sub(s[m.end(0)..-1])
      else
        # Even number of backslashes before "%". Not an escape.
        s
      end
    end

    # Check for an escaped "%"
    m = ESCAPED_PERCENT.match(s)
    if (m)
      handle_match(m, s)
    else
      s
    end
  end

  s2 = super(pre_sub(s))
  s2.gsub(ESCAPED_PERCENT_PLACEHOLDER, '%')
