Returns a MatchData object describing the match, or nil if there was no match. This is equivalent to retrieving the value of the special variable $~ following a normal match. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
/(.)(.)(.)/.match("abc")[2] #=> "b" /(.)(.)/.match("abc", 1)[2] #=> "c"
If a block is given, invoke the block with MatchData if match succeed, so that you can write
/M(.*)/.match("Matz") do |m| puts m[0] puts m[1] end
instead of
if m = /M(.*)/.match("Matz") puts m[0] puts m[1] end
The return value is a value from block execution in this case.
Returns a true or false indicates whether the regexp is matched or not without updating $~ and other related variables. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
/R.../.match?("Ruby") #=> true /R.../.match?("Ruby", 1) #=> false /P.../.match?("Ruby") #=> false $& #=> nil
Same as sym.to_s.length.
Returns sym.to_s.match(obj).
Returns sym.to_s.match?(obj).
Allocates space for a new object of class’s class and does not call initialize on the new instance. The returned object must be an instance of class.
klass = Class.new do def initialize(*args) @initialized = true end def initialized? @initialized || false end end klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false
Parses the given Ruby program read from src. src must be a String or an IO or a object with a gets method.
Start parsing and returns the value of the root action.
Returns the number of keys in the database.
Insert or update key-value pairs.
This method will work with any object which implements an each_pair method, such as a Hash.
Returns true if the database contains the given key.
Creates a pair of sockets connected each other.
domain should be a communications domain such as: :INET, :INET6, :UNIX, etc.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain, defaults to 0 for the domain.
s1, s2 = Socket.pair(:UNIX, :STREAM, 0) s1.send "a", 0 s1.send "b", 0 s1.close p s2.recv(10) #=> "ab" p s2.recv(10) #=> "" p s2.recv(10) #=> "" s1, s2 = Socket.pair(:UNIX, :DGRAM, 0) s1.send "a", 0 s1.send "b", 0 p s2.recv(10) #=> "a" p s2.recv(10) #=> "b"

Obtains the host information for address.
p Socket.gethostbyaddr([221,186,184,68].pack("CCCC")) #=> ["carbon.ruby-lang.org", [], 2, "\xDD\xBA\xB8D"]
returns the address family as an integer.
Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 80).afamily == Socket::AF_INET #=> true
returns the protocol family as an integer.
Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 80).pfamily == Socket::PF_INET #=> true
Creates a pair of sockets connected to each other.
socktype should be a socket type such as: :STREAM, :DGRAM, :RAW, etc.
protocol should be a protocol defined in the domain. 0 is default protocol for the domain.

Returns false. Just for compatibility to IO.
Returns the size of the buffer string.
Truncates the buffer string to at most integer bytes. The strio must be opened for writing.
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"
Tests whether the given pattern is matched from the current scan pointer. Returns the length of the match, or nil. The scan pointer is not advanced.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') p s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 p s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 p s.match?(/\s+/) # -> nil
Returns true iff the last match was successful.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.match?(/\w+/) # => 4 s.matched? # => true s.match?(/\d+/) # => nil s.matched? # => false
Returns the last matched string.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 s.matched # -> "test"
