HTML stripping, Truncating string in Ruby, Rails

For Truncating String I have used 'truncate' rails helper method.
limiting to 10 characters
truncate("im srikanth glad to meet you", 10)
>> "im srik..."
For HTML stripping, I have used gsub..
str.gsub(/<\/?[^>]*>/, "")

In Rails 3.0 you have a helper strip_tags. Example: you have a product and you want to show the description you do it in a line of code
<%= truncate(strip_tags(product.description), :length => 80) %>

By the way you can use SyntaxHighlighter to make the code from your blogspot pretty. http://alexgorbatchev.com/SyntaxHighlighter/

Install Cpanm module error : No such file or directory opening compressed index

I got this error while installing Rest client perl module $ HOME=/tmp /home/perl/5.10/bin/cpanm REST::Client !

Couldn't find module or a distribution REST::Client Solution: The problem is because of "LWP::Protocol::https" module. Removing the directory worked for me. $ cd /perl_installed_path/perl/5.10/lib/site_perl/5.10.1 $ rm –rf LWP* or try with option "--no-lwp" cpanm REST::Client --no-lwp

Getting started with Python Flask application with MVC structure

I have added a MVC structure and getting started with Python flask application in my Github.  I will continue to contribute to this repository with Database connections and JWT Authentication. Lets get started with Python and Flask :) Here is the Github link for my project. https://github.com/srikanthjeeva/python-flask-getting-started Structure your Flask application like a Rails Application. I'm a Rails developer. I like the way a Rails application is structured and I wanted to implement the similar kind of structure for a Python Flask web Application. Flask by default will not give you this structure. So make use of the getting started with Python flask repository above. The Code structure will look like this: python-flask-getting-started/ |-- app | |-- config.py | |-- controllers | | |-- hello_controller.py | | |-- __init__.py | |-- helpers | | |-- common_helpers.py | | |-- __init__.py | |-- __init__.py | |-- models | | ...
