GOLF: hex string to dotted quad

Not much, but it’s a start.

hex_ip.gsub(/…/) {|s| “#{s.hex}.”}[0…-2]

The deletion of the trailing ‘.’ is so ugly… but it’s a leetle bit
shorter :wink:

Cheers,

ip = [hex_ip].pack(“H*”).unpack(“C*”).join(".")
=> “192.168.1.103”

String#hex is a nice idea.

hex_ip.scan(/…/).map{|s|s.hex}*“.”

hex_ip.gsub(/…/) {|s| “#{s.hex}.”}[0…-2]

Shorter still :

hex_ip.scan(/…/).map{|i|i.hex}*“.”

The best so far :). Further refining:

hex_ip.gsub(/…/) {"#{$&.hex}."}.chop

Or, based on Carlos’ optimisation (and I use the term very loosely in
the context of golfing):

hex_ip.scan(/…/).map{$&.hex}*“.”

Saves another two characters… and looks horribly perlish.

You’ve broken it :slight_smile:

“c0a80167”.scan(/…/).map{$&.hex}*“.”
=> “103.103.103.103”

$& holds the last match of the regex, not the current iteration of map.

On that note, it's a bit of a shame that $_ doesn't work more like it does in perl. It would be very useful when golfing to have a variable that holds the parameters passed to a block without having to explicitly include an argument list to receive them.

(Although, I suppose that variable would have to be an array to receive
multiple arguments, so the advantage would be lost because of the extra
bytes needed to get values out of that array.)

Oh well. Ruby is still good for golfing, it’s winning a good few of the
challenges on codegolf.com.

So I have. I guess I need to start writing unit tests for my golfing
efforts. What a sad state of affairs…

Anyway, here’s another one (with a little help):

require ‘scanf’
hex_ip.scanf('%2x’4)“.”
=> “192.168.1.103”
