Ruby: How to decode strings which are partially encoded or fully encoded?

Question

I am getting encoded strings while parsing text files. I have no idea on how to decode them to english or it's original language.

  "inf&#111;&#64;c&#108;&#111;ud&#97;g&#46;&#99;&#111;m"

is the encoded string and needs to have it decoded.

I want to decode using Ruby.

Here is a link for your reference and I am expecting the same.

This looks like HTML encoding, not URL encoding.

require 'cgi'

CGI.unescapeHTML("inf&#111;&#64;c&#108;&#111;ud&#97;g&#46;&#99;&#111;m")
#=> "info@cloudag.com"
