Hi guys,
I am working on a problem, that I would like to see if anyone might be
able to help me with.
I have a simple rails application that uses a controller to find a
record in a database. I grab the path that the client is trying to
access, and then I look in a database to see if I have a record that
matches this path and return an appropriate response.
The table looks like this (simplified example):
| path | response |
------------------------------
| /users | { users } |
This is all well and nice, and works the way it should, to expose an
extremely simple REST service. What I would like to do now is to be
able to insert a regular expression, that I will then use to match
against the path. That way having a record value like /\/users\/(\d*)/
to match a client request path like /users/1234.
| path | response |
------------------------------
| /\/users\/(\d*)/ | { users } |
I first looked at
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/functions-matching.html
(section 9.7.2), but that is the reverse problem, where the input is a
regular expression.
Does my problem make sense, and is it even possible?
Thanks,
JP
