Golang : Strip slashes from string example
A quick post on how to get an equivalent to PHP's stripslashes()
function in Golang. Basically in PHP, the stripslashes()
function will remove any backslashes from a string. \'
becomes '
and double backslashes \\
are made into a single backslash \
.
Example from official PHP documentation :
<?php
$str = "Is your name O\'reilly?";
echo stripslashes($str);
?>
Output :
Is your name O'reilly?
To achieve similar result in Golang, use this example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
// use backtick ` instead of double quote "
// otherwise, you will get this error message
// unknown escape sequence: '
str := `Is your name O\'reilly?`
fmt.Println(str)
stripSlash := strings.Replace(str, "\\", "", -1)
fmt.Println(stripSlash)
}
Output :
Is your name O\'reilly?
Is your name O'reilly?
NOTE :
Golang's strconv.Unquote()
function does not strip backslashes. What it does is to transform the a Go character literal to the corresponding one-character.
Happy coding!
