What can be the ruby regex for capturing specific value for given string?

I have a string like below : 

"[a06aad57-5671-482e-dbdd81dc39b1]   Parameters: {\"ToCountry\"=>\"US\", \"ToState\"=>\"AL\", \"SmsMessageSid\"=>\"SMa1a9e32a7503f7342b7065d77174d\"}"

I would like to capture only value of 'Parameters:' as below and convert it to hash. Key/value can be any value in above raw string :

{"ToCountry"=>"US", "ToState"=>"AL", "SmsMessageSid"=>"SMa1a9e32a7503f3767342b7065d77174d"}

Solution

  • You can do it through a few steps:

    require 'json'

string = "[a06aad57-5671-482e-dbdd81dc39b1]   Parameters: {\"ToCountry\"=>\"US\", \"ToState\"=>\"AL\", \"SmsMessageSid\"=>\"SMa1a9e32a7503f7342b7065d77174d\"}"
prepared_string = string.match(/Parameters:(.*)/)[1].gsub("=>", ":")
json = JSON.parse(prepared_string)
#=> {"ToCountry"=>"US", "ToState"=>"AL", "SmsMessageSid"=>"SMa1a9e32a7503f7342b7065d77174d"}
