Stumped on simple wildcard

ruby-talk
1

I'm trying to use a wildcard in an if but the solution is evading me. Is
there a special character ruby uses as a general wildcard? My problem
below is our domains are all setup to resolve on any combination of
domain1.com www.domain1.com w2w.domain1.com etc. It must also be case
insensitive.

  domain = ENV['HTTP_HOST']
  if domain == '*domain1.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 1</h2>"
  elsif domain == '?domain2.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 2</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain3.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 3</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain4.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 4</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain5.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 5</h2>"
  end

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks

  domain = ENV['HTTP_HOST']
  if domain == '*domain1.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 1</h2>"
  elsif domain == '?domain2.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 2</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain3.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 3</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain4.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 4</h2>"
  elsif domain == 'domain5.com'; printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 5</h2>"
  end

Hello. When you compare two strings using ==, it is the exact match and
there are no wildcards in this kind of comparison. Use Regexen for your
task.

Try this:

if mat=domain.match(/domain([0-9])\.com$/i)
  dm=mat[1].to_i
  if (1..5).include?(dm)
    printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain #{dm}</h2>"
  else
    # bad domain number
  end
else
  # not matching the pattern
end

If you have domains with more digits (10, 11, ...), change to ([0-9]+)
in the Regex. Note the dot before com is escaped. The $ at the end means
that the string must end at com (without it, www.domain4.com.ru would
qualify also). The /i at the end of the pattern makes it case
insensitive. mat[1] reads the first parenthesised group from the Regexp,
which is the domain number in our case.

Hope that helped.

Yes thanks.
I did find a simpler way though. The '' were the problem.

domain = ENV['HTTP_HOST']
if domain =~ /domain1.com/;printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 1</h2>"
elsif domain =~ /domain2.com/;printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 2</h2>"
elsif domain =~ /domain3.com/;printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 3</h2>"
elsif domain =~ /domain4.com/;printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 4</h2>"
elsif domain =~ /domain5.com/;printf "<h2>Welcome to Domain 5</h2>"
end
