Returns sym.to_s.match?
.
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"
Returns the size of the most recent match (see matched
), or nil
if there was no recent match.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.check /\w+/ # -> "test" s.matched_size # -> 4 s.check /\d+/ # -> nil s.matched_size # -> nil
Evaluates whether the given string matches an entity definition, returning true if so, and false otherwise.
