How to access Ruby object inside string in a erb file

I have a erb file where in I want to access ruby object and attach it inside a string dynamically. Here is the code snippet I have. Ideally, I want to access the ruby object and then parse it. But, it dosent work as expected. Below, @ruby_object is some kind of URL based on different env.

 <div>
       Visit this <a href="<%="google.com"%>">@ruby_object.sub('http', '')}"</a>.
 </div>
Solution

  • Actually this did the trick for me.

     <div>
       Visit this <a href="<%="google.com"%>"><%=@ruby_object.dup.sub!(/https?(\:)?(\/)?(\/)?/, '') %></a>`.
 </div>
