Results for: "Array"

Returns true if str starts with one of the prefixes given.

"hello".start_with?("hell")               #=> true

# returns true if one of the prefixes matches.
"hello".start_with?("heaven", "hell")     #=> true
"hello".start_with?("heaven", "paradise") #=> false

Passes each character in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.

"hello".each_char {|c| print c, ' ' }

produces:

h e l l o

Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.

Debian GNU/Linux
  LANG=C
    Encoding.locale_charmap  #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968"
  LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP
    Encoding.locale_charmap  #=> "EUC-JP"

SunOS 5
  LANG=C
    Encoding.locale_charmap  #=> "646"
  LANG=ja
    Encoding.locale_charmap  #=> "eucJP"

The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap) may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find(“locale”) can be used.

Returns any backtrace associated with the exception. This method is similar to Exception#backtrace, but the backtrace is an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location.

Now, this method is not affected by Exception#set_backtrace().

Sets the backtrace information associated with exc. The backtrace must be an array of String objects or a single String in the format described in Exception#backtrace.

Return a list of the local variable names defined where this NameError exception was raised.

Internal use only.

Returns an array of the names of class variables in mod. This includes the names of class variables in any included modules, unless the inherit parameter is set to false.

class One
  @@var1 = 1
end
class Two < One
  @@var2 = 2
end
One.class_variables          #=> [:@@var1]
Two.class_variables          #=> [:@@var2, :@@var1]
Two.class_variables(false)   #=> [:@@var2]

Returns the fractional part of the second.

DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6.5).sec_fraction       #=> (1/2)

Returns the fractional part of the second.

DateTime.new(2001,2,3,4,5,6.5).sec_fraction       #=> (1/2)

Duplicates self and resets its day of calendar reform.

d = Date.new(1582,10,15)
d.new_start(Date::JULIAN)         #=> #<Date: 1582-10-05 ...>

This method is equivalent to d + n.

This method is equivalent to d - n.

This method is equivalent to d >> (n * 12).

Date.new(2001,2,3).next_year      #=> #<Date: 2002-02-03 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).next_year     #=> #<Date: 2009-02-28 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).next_year(4)  #=> #<Date: 2012-02-29 ...>

See also Date#>>.

This method is equivalent to d << (n * 12).

Date.new(2001,2,3).prev_year      #=> #<Date: 2000-02-03 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).prev_year     #=> #<Date: 2007-02-28 ...>
Date.new(2008,2,29).prev_year(4)  #=> #<Date: 2004-02-29 ...>

See also Date#<<.

Calls the given block once for each character in ios, passing the character as an argument. The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.

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

f = File.new("testfile")
f.each_char {|c| print c, ' ' }   #=> #<File:testfile>

Provides marshalling support for use by the Marshal library.

Provides marshalling support for use by the Marshal library.

This method is called when the parser found syntax error.

EXPERIMENTAL

Parses src and create S-exp tree. This method is mainly for developer use.

require 'ripper'
require 'pp'

pp Ripper.sexp_raw("def m(a) nil end")
  #=> [:program,
       [:stmts_add,
        [:stmts_new],
        [:def,
         [:@ident, "m", [1, 4]],
         [:paren, [:params, [[:@ident, "a", [1, 6]]], nil, nil, nil]],

          nil,
          nil,
          nil]]]]

See IO#each_char.

Scans the string until the pattern is matched. Advances the scan pointer if advance_pointer_p, otherwise not. Returns the matched string if return_string_p is true, otherwise returns the number of bytes advanced. This method does affect the match register.

Returns variable kind string.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.variable_kind}"
end

The result of above script is following:
  xlChart CONSTANT
  xlDialogSheet CONSTANT
  xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet CONSTANT
  xlExcel4MacroSheet CONSTANT
  xlWorksheet CONSTANT

Return a new with the results of running block once for every value. This method does not change the keys.

h = { a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }
h.transform_values {|v| v * v + 1 }  #=> { a: 2, b: 5, c: 10 }
h.transform_values(&:to_s)           #=> { a: "1", b: "2", c: "3" }
h.transform_values.with_index {|v, i| "#{v}.#{i}" }
                                     #=> { a: "1.0", b: "2.1", c: "3.2" }

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

Return a new with the results of running block once for every value. This method does not change the keys.

h.transform_values!(&:to_s)           #=> { a: "1", b: "2", c: "3" }
h.transform_values!.with_index {|v, i| "#{v}.#{i}" }
                                      #=> { a: "1.0", b: "2.1", c: "3.2" }
