Hi,
I would like to untaint all parameters with which my CGI script is called.
Example:
if parameters.has_key('type'):
match = re.search('\w+', parameters['type'].value)
type = match.group()
else: type = 'page'
In Perl, I used the ternary operator to write it like this:
my $type = ($parameters{type} && ($parameters{type} =~ /^(\w+)$/)) ? $1 :
'page';
While this is not the most beautiful code to look at, I have a weakness for
compact programs - so can I shorten the Python equivalent somehow?
Thanks,
Jan
