Results for: "partition"

Try to convert obj into a Regexp, using to_regexp method. Returns converted regexp or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.

Regexp.try_convert(/re/)         #=> /re/
Regexp.try_convert("re")         #=> nil

o = Object.new
Regexp.try_convert(o)            #=> nil
def o.to_regexp() /foo/ end
Regexp.try_convert(o)            #=> /foo/

Returns the absolute path for the file.

See File.expand_path.

Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr after O_NONBLOCK is set for the underlying file descriptor. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.

Parameter

# +remote_sockaddr+ - the +struct+ sockaddr contained in a string or Addrinfo object

Example:

# Pull down Google's web page
require 'socket'
include Socket::Constants
socket = Socket.new(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)
sockaddr = Socket.sockaddr_in(80, 'www.google.com')
begin # emulate blocking connect
  socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr)
rescue IO::WaitWritable
  IO.select(nil, [socket]) # wait 3-way handshake completion
  begin
    socket.connect_nonblock(sockaddr) # check connection failure
  rescue Errno::EISCONN
  end
end
socket.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n")
results = socket.read

Refer to Socket#connect for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to connect_nonblock fails.

Socket#connect_nonblock may raise any error corresponding to connect(2) failure, including Errno::EINPROGRESS.

If the exception is Errno::EINPROGRESS, it is extended by IO::WaitWritable. So IO::WaitWritable can be used to rescue the exceptions for retrying connect_nonblock.

By specifying a keyword argument exception to false, you can indicate that connect_nonblock should not raise an IO::WaitWritable exception, but return the symbol :wait_writable instead.

# Socket#connect

Returns true for IPv4 multicast address (224.0.0.0/4). It returns false otherwise.

Returns true for IPv6 multicast address (ff00::/8). It returns false otherwise.

This method is defined for backward compatibility.

Scans the string until the pattern is matched. Returns the substring up to and including the end of the match, advancing the scan pointer to that location. If there is no match, nil is returned.

s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39")
s.scan_until(/1/)        # -> "Fri Dec 1"
s.pre_match              # -> "Fri Dec "
s.scan_until(/XYZ/)      # -> nil

Advances the scan pointer until pattern is matched and consumed. Returns the number of bytes advanced, or nil if no match was found.

Look ahead to match pattern, and advance the scan pointer to the end of the match. Return the number of characters advanced, or nil if the match was unsuccessful.

It’s similar to scan_until, but without returning the intervening string.

s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39")
s.skip_until /12/           # -> 10
s                           #

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

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

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

Returns the size of arguments of the method.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
puts method.size_params # => 11

Returns major version.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library', 'Documents')
puts tobj.major_version # => 8

Returns minor version.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library', 'Documents')
puts tobj.minor_version # => 2

Returns the type library major version.

tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
puts tlib.major_version # -> 1

Returns the type library minor version.

tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
puts tlib.minor_version # -> 3

Try to convert obj into a hash, using to_hash method. Returns converted hash or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.

Hash.try_convert({1=>2})   # => {1=>2}
Hash.try_convert("1=>2")   # => nil

This method is a shortcut for converting a single line of a CSV String into an Array. Note that if line contains multiple rows, anything beyond the first row is ignored.

The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands.

Returns true if unconverted_fields() to parsed results. See CSV::new for details.

Returns the current list of converters in effect for headers. See CSV::new for details. Built-in converters will be returned by name, while others will be returned as is.

Returns true if illegal input is handled. See CSV::new for details.

Identical to CSV#convert(), but for header rows.

Note that this method must be called before header rows are read to have any effect.

The actual work method for adding converters, used by both CSV.convert() and CSV.header_convert().

This method requires the var_name of the instance variable to place the converters in, the const Hash to lookup named converters in, and the normal parameters of the CSV.convert() and CSV.header_convert() methods.

Processes fields with @converters, or @header_converters if headers is passed as true, returning the converted field set. Any converter that changes the field into something other than a String halts the pipeline of conversion for that field. This is primarily an efficiency shortcut.

This method is used to turn a finished row into a CSV::Row. Header rows are also dealt with here, either by returning a CSV::Row with identical headers and fields (save that the fields do not go through the converters) or by reading past them to return a field row. Headers are also saved in @headers for use in future rows.

When nil, row is assumed to be a header row not based on an actual row of the stream.

Returns a string for DNS reverse lookup compatible with RFC3172.

Set date-time format.

datetime_format

A string suitable for passing to strftime.
