Urls from gsub not correct

ruby-talk
1

i have some problems when i try to check urls after get them from gsub
method. ex

from the console:

('http://ale.it' =~ URI::regexp).nil?.to_s
=> "false"

and it works fine but if i launch this:

“http://ale.it”.gsub(/http[s]?:\/\/[^\s]+/, (’\0’ =~
URI::regexp).nil?.to_s)
=> “true”

it doesn't work.

How can i do, for get correct urls?

thanks

It cannot because your second match is evaluated *before* gsub starts its work. So the value passed as second argument to gsub can never change.

The question is: what do you want to achieve with the code? It looks like you want to replace valid URL's with "false" and invalid URL's with "true". That does not seem reasonable to me but if you want to do that you can use the block form of gsub like this:

"http://ale.it".gsub(/http[s]?://[^\s]+/) do |m|
   (m =~ URI::regexp).nil?.to_s
end

Kind regards
