Results for: "match"

StringIO#isatty

Returns false. Just for compatibility to IO.

StringIO#truncate

Truncates the buffer string to at most integer bytes. The strio must be opened for writing.

StringScanner#terminate

Set the scan pointer to the end of the string and clear matching data.

StringScanner#concat

Appends str to the string being scanned. This method does not affect scan pointer.

s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39")
s.scan(/Fri /)
s << " +1000 GMT"
s.string            # -> "Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39 +1000 GMT"
s.scan(/Dec/)       # -> "Dec"

StringScanner#charpos

Returns the character position of the scan pointer. In the ‘reset’ position, this value is zero. In the ‘terminated’ position (i.e. the string is exhausted), this value is the size of the string.

In short, it’s a 0-based index into the string.

s = StringScanner.new("abcädeföghi")
s.charpos           # -> 0
s.scan_until(/ä/)   # -> "abcä"
s.pos               # -> 5
s.charpos           # -> 4

StringScanner#check

This returns the value that scan would return, without advancing the scan pointer. The match register is affected, though.

s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39")
s.check /Fri/               # -> "Fri"
s.pos                       # -> 0
s.matched                   # -> "Fri"
s.check /12/                # -> nil
s.matched                   # -> nil

Mnemonic: it “checks” to see whether a scan will return a value.

WIN32OLE#each

Iterates over each item of OLE collection which has IEnumVARIANT interface.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
book = excel.workbooks.add
sheets = book.worksheets(1)
cells = sheets.cells("A1:A5")
cells.each do |cell|
  cell.value = 10
end

WIN32OLE_TYPELIB#path

Returns the type library file path.

tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
puts tlib.path #-> 'C:\...\EXCEL9.OLB'

Hash#each

Calls block once for each key in hsh, passing the key-value pair as parameters.

If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.

h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
h.each {|key, value| puts "#{key} is #{value}" }

produces:

a is 100
b is 200

Adds the contents of other_hash to hsh. If no block is specified, entries with duplicate keys are overwritten with the values from other_hash, otherwise the value of each duplicate key is determined by calling the block with the key, its value in hsh and its value in other_hash.

h1 = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
h2 = { "b" => 254, "c" => 300 }
h1.merge!(h2)   #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>254, "c"=>300}

h1 = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 }
h2 = { "b" => 254, "c" => 300 }
h1.merge!(h2) { |key, v1, v2| v1 }
                #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>200, "c"=>300}

Hash#flatten

Returns a new array that is a one-dimensional flattening of this hash. That is, for every key or value that is an array, extract its elements into the new array. Unlike Array#flatten, this method does not flatten recursively by default. The optional level argument determines the level of recursion to flatten.

a =  {1=> "one", 2 => [2,"two"], 3 => "three"}
a.flatten    # => [1, "one", 2, [2, "two"], 3, "three"]
a.flatten(2) # => [1, "one", 2, 2, "two", 3, "three"]

ENV::each

Yields each environment variable name and value.

If no block is given an Enumerator is returned.

ENV::update

Adds the contents of hash to the environment variables. If no block is specified entries with duplicate keys are overwritten, otherwise the value of each duplicate name is determined by calling the block with the key, its value from the environment and its value from the hash.

RubyVM::stat

Returns a Hash containing implementation-dependent counters inside the VM.

This hash includes information about method/constant cache serials:

{
  :global_method_state=>251,
  :global_constant_state=>481,
  :class_serial=>9029
}

The contents of the hash are implementation specific and may be changed in the future.

This method is only expected to work on C Ruby.

CSV::foreach

This method is intended as the primary interface for reading CSV files. You pass a path and any options you wish to set for the read. Each row of file will be passed to the provided block in turn.

The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands. This method also understands an additional :encoding parameter that you can use to specify the Encoding of the data in the file to be read. You must provide this unless your data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will use this to determine how to parse the data. You may provide a second Encoding to have the data transcoded as it is read. For example, encoding: "UTF-32BE:UTF-8" would read UTF-32BE data from the file but transcode it to UTF-8 before CSV parses it.

CSV::generate

This method wraps a String you provide, or an empty default String, in a CSV object which is passed to the provided block. You can use the block to append CSV rows to the String and when the block exits, the final String will be returned.

Note that a passed String is modified by this method. Call dup() before passing if you need a new String.

The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands. This method understands an additional :encoding parameter when not passed a String to set the base Encoding for the output. CSV needs this hint if you plan to output non-ASCII compatible data.

CSV#each

Yields each row of the data source in turn.

Support for Enumerable.

The data source must be open for reading.

ERB#location=

GetoptLong#terminate

Explicitly terminate option processing.

GetoptLong#terminated?

Returns true if option processing has terminated, false otherwise.

GetoptLong#each

Iterator version of ‘get’.

The block is called repeatedly with two arguments: The first is the option name. The second is the argument which followed it (if any). Example: (‘–opt’, ‘value’)

The option name is always converted to the first (preferred) name given in the original options to GetoptLong.new.
