How to break apart a string in different 3 values with Ruby Regex [closed]-CodePudding

need some Ruby regex help;

I'm trying to work with some cookies returning on an array, where which index return a string similar to this:

"goals_url=http://myurl.com; path=/"

Each cookies returns in an index of my array; I need some help to break it in 3 parts:

header = goals_url

value = http://myurl.com

path = /

Someone can help me with an Idea how to do this? I was trying some regex, but couldnt resolve it.

Thanks.

url = "goals_url=http://myurl.com; path=/"
parts = url.split(";")
path = parts[1]
parts = parts[0].split("=")
header = parts[0]
value = parts[1]

Hope that's help you

Thank you so much, Rafael. I followed your tips using split and resolved my problem, at least the first part of it:

    cookies.each do |result|
    path = '/'
    parts = result.split(";")
    main = parts[0].split("=")
    name = main[0]
    value = main[1]
    driver.manage.add_cookie(name: "#{name}", value: "#{value}", domain: "#{domain}", path: "#{path}")
  end

Thank you!

You can use String#match with named captures like so:

cookie ="goals_url=http://myurl.com; path=/"
cookie.match(/(?<header>. )?=(?<value>. )?;\s path=(?<path>. )?/).named_captures
#=>{"header"=>"goals_url", "value"=>"http://myurl.com", "path"=>"/"}
