converting time to digestible JSON string with HTTParty



The following string returns results


@result = HTTParty.post(
'https://test.co.uk/search',
:body => '{ "requestAuditInfo": { "agentCode": "MLG001",
"requestDateTime": "2018-07-29T07:03:38Z" [...]



whereas


@result = HTTParty.post(
'https://test.co.uk/search',
:body => '{ "requestAuditInfo": { "agentCode": "MLG001",
"requestDateTime": Time.now.utc.iso8601 [...]



returns nil



Console for Time.now.utc.iso8601 returns "2018-07-29T07:03:38Z" which is the desired string for the successful call.


Time.now.utc.iso8601


"2018-07-29T07:03:38Z"



What am I getting wrong?



update


:body => "{ 'requestAuditInfo': { 'agentCode': 'MLG001',
'requestDateTime': '2018-07-29T07:03:38Z'



is NOT being digested by the receiving API, returning NIL results





have you tried using strftime?

strftime





no, as I was attempting to use the iso8601 pre-set format

interpolation is missing in your quotes. Ruby code needs to be interpolated with #{} when used in string. Replace with #{Time.now.utc.iso8601} and use double quotation - "{ 'requestAuditInfo': { 'agentCode': 'MLG001', 'requestDateTime': #{Time.now.utc.iso8601} [...] or use %Q as :body => %Q|{ "requestAuditInfo": { "agentCode": "MLG001", #{Time.now.utc.iso8601} [...]|

#{}


#{Time.now.utc.iso8601}


"{ 'requestAuditInfo': { 'agentCode': 'MLG001', 'requestDateTime': #{Time.now.utc.iso8601} [...]


%Q


:body => %Q|{ "requestAuditInfo": { "agentCode": "MLG001", #{Time.now.utc.iso8601} [...]|





the double quotation I had tried, but as the update shows, it is not arriving properly to server. the %Q| [...] | option runs with the string "2018-07-29T07:03:38Z" , but not the interpolation.

%Q| [...] |


"2018-07-29T07:03:38Z"





in CLI the quote handling is confirmed: Unexpected character (''' (code 39)): was expecting double-quote to start field name

You are sending a string "requestDateTime": Time.now.utc.iso8601 [...]" as a parameter. If you want to pass ruby's Time.now as part of a string you need to interpolate it, like so:


Time.now



"requestDateTime": #{Time.now.utc.iso8601}"


"requestDateTime": #{Time.now.utc.iso8601}"

Regex - How to capture all iterations of a repeating pattern?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Regex - How to capture all iterations of a repeating pattern? Take a look at this example, I want to capture not just the last iteration (which is 5), but also 2, 3 and 4. It says here: A repeated capturing group will only capture the last iteration. Put a capturing group around the repeated group to capture all iterations... but I don't know how to do this. Since I need this in C++, I was looking for a way to get all iterations of capturing group using some regex functions in C++, but I always end up with same groups which the website finds. How about instruction d((,d)*) ? (IMHO, this is meant in the cited text.) Though, this leaves still the task to separate the inner matches... – Scheff 17 mins ago instruction d((,d)*) Thou...
