Equivalent to Hash#keep_if, but returns nil if no changes were made.
Removes all key-value pairs from hsh.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>200} h.clear #=> {}
Returns a new hash created by using hsh’s values as keys, and the keys as values. If a key with the same value already exists in the hsh, then the last one defined will be used, the earlier value(s) will be discarded.
h = { "n" => 100, "m" => 100, "y" => 300, "d" => 200, "a" => 0 } h.invert #=> {0=>"a", 100=>"m", 200=>"d", 300=>"y"}
If there is no key with the same value, Hash#invert is involutive.
h = { a: 1, b: 3, c: 4 } h.invert.invert == h #=> true
The condition, no key with the same value, can be tested by comparing the size of inverted hash.
# no key with the same value h = { a: 1, b: 3, c: 4 } h.size == h.invert.size #=> true # two (or more) keys has the same value h = { a: 1, b: 3, c: 1 } h.size == h.invert.size #=> false
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}
Returns a new hash containing the contents of other_hash and the contents of hsh. If no block is specified, the value for entries with duplicate keys will be that of other_hash. Otherwise the value for 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.merge(h2){|key, oldval, newval| newval - oldval} #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>54, "c"=>300} h1 #=> {"a"=>100, "b"=>200}
Returns a new hash with the nil values/key pairs removed
h = { a: 1, b: false, c: nil } h.compact #=> { a: 1, b: false } h #=> { a: 1, b: false, c: nil }
Removes all nil values from the hash. Returns the hash.
h = { a: 1, b: false, c: nil } h.compact! #=> { a: 1, b: false }
Returns true if the given key is present in hsh.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } h.has_key?("a") #=> true h.has_key?("z") #=> false
Note that include? and member? do not test member equality using == as do other Enumerables.
See also Enumerable#include?
Removes every environment variable.
Returns a copy of the environment for entries where the block returns true.
Returns an Enumerator if no block was given.
Equivalent to ENV#keep_if but returns nil if no changes were made.
Returns a new hash created by using environment variable names as values and values as names.
Returns true when there are no environment variables
Returns true if there is an environment variable with the given name.
Returns the ARGV array, which contains the arguments passed to your script, one per element.
For example:
$ ruby argf.rb -v glark.txt ARGF.argv #=> ["-v", "glark.txt"]
Reads the next character from ARGF and returns it as a String. Raises an EOFError after the last character of the last file has been read.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.readchar #=> "f" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "\n" ARGF.readchar #=> end of file reached (EOFError)
Seeks to offset amount (an Integer) in the ARGF stream according to the value of whence. See IO#seek for further details.
Returns the current filename. “-” is returned when the current file is STDIN.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > foo $ echo "bar" > bar $ echo "glark" > glark $ ruby argf.rb foo bar glark ARGF.filename #=> "foo" ARGF.read(5) #=> "foo\nb" ARGF.filename #=> "bar" ARGF.skip ARGF.filename #=> "glark"
Closes the current file and skips to the next file in ARGV. If there are no more files to open, just closes the current file. STDIN will not be closed.
For example:
$ ruby argf.rb foo bar ARGF.filename #=> "foo" ARGF.close ARGF.filename #=> "bar" ARGF.close
Returns true if the current file has been closed; false otherwise. Use ARGF.close to actually close the current file.
Synonym for $stdin.
This method is an alias for http_header, when HTML5 tag maker is inactive.
NOTE: use http_header to create HTTP header blocks, this alias is only provided for backwards compatibility.
Using header with the HTML5 tag maker will create a <header> element.
This method is a convenience for building Unix-like filters for CSV data. Each row is yielded to the provided block which can alter it as needed. After the block returns, the row is appended to output altered or not.
The input and output arguments can be anything CSV::new() accepts (generally String or IO objects). If not given, they default to ARGF and $stdout.
The options parameter is also filtered down to CSV::new() after some clever key parsing. Any key beginning with :in_ or :input_ will have that leading identifier stripped and will only be used in the options Hash for the input object. Keys starting with :out_ or :output_ affect only output. All other keys are assigned to both objects.
The :output_row_sep option defaults to $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR ($/).
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.
This method opens an IO object, and wraps that with CSV. This is intended as the primary interface for writing a CSV file.
You must pass a filename and may optionally add a mode for Ruby’s open(). You may also pass an optional Hash containing any options CSV::new() understands as the final argument.
This method works like Ruby’s open() call, in that it will pass a CSV object to a provided block and close it when the block terminates, or it will return the CSV object when no block is provided. (Note: This is different from the Ruby 1.8 CSV library which passed rows to the block. Use CSV::foreach() for that behavior.)
You must provide a mode with an embedded Encoding designator unless your data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will check the Encoding of the underlying IO object (set by the mode you pass) to determine how to parse the data. You may provide a second Encoding to have the data transcoded as it is read just as you can with a normal call to IO::open(). For example, "rb:UTF-32BE:UTF-8" would read UTF-32BE data from the file but transcode it to UTF-8 before CSV parses it.
An opened CSV object will delegate to many IO methods for convenience. You may call:
binmode()
binmode?()
close()
close_read()
close_write()
closed?()
eof()
eof?()
external_encoding()
fcntl()
fileno()
flock()
flush()
fsync()
internal_encoding()
ioctl()
isatty()
path()
pid()
pos()
pos=()
reopen()
seek()
stat()
sync()
sync=()
tell()
to_i()
to_io()
truncate()
tty?()
