Set the scan pointer to the end of the string and clear matching data.

By overriding Object#methods, WIN32OLE might work well with did_you_mean gem. This is experimental.

require 'win32ole'
dict = WIN32OLE.new('Scripting.Dictionary')
dict.Ade('a', 1)
#=> Did you mean?  Add

returns array of WIN32OLE_PARAM object corresponding with method parameters.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
p method.params # => [Filename, FileFormat, Password, WriteResPassword,
                      ReadOnlyRecommended, CreateBackup, AccessMode,
                      ConflictResolution, AddToMru, TextCodepage,
                      TextVisualLayout]

Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ methods.

Explicitly terminate option processing.

Returns true if option processing has terminated, false otherwise.

Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the IPv6 address into a native IPv4 address. If the IP address is not an IPv4-mapped or IPv4-compatible IPv6 address, returns self.

Returns true if this is an orthogonal matrix Raises an error if matrix is not square.

Terminates option parsing. Optional parameter arg is a string pushed back to be the first non-option argument.

Add separator in summary.

Terminates thr and schedules another thread to be run.

If this thread is already marked to be killed, exit returns the Thread.

If this is the main thread, or the last thread, exits the process.

Returns the name at the definition of the current method as a Symbol. If called outside of a method, it returns nil.

Returns x/y or arg as a Rational.

Rational(2, 3)   #=> (2/3)
Rational(5)      #=> (5/1)
Rational(0.5)    #=> (1/2)
Rational(0.3)    #=> (5404319552844595/18014398509481984)

Rational("2/3")  #=> (2/3)
Rational("0.3")  #=> (3/10)

Rational("10 cents")  #=> ArgumentError
Rational(nil)         #=> TypeError
Rational(1, nil)      #=> TypeError

Syntax of the string form:

string form = extra spaces , rational , extra spaces ;
rational = [ sign ] , unsigned rational ;
unsigned rational = numerator | numerator , "/" , denominator ;
numerator = integer part | fractional part | integer part , fractional part ;
denominator = digits ;
integer part = digits ;
fractional part = "." , digits , [ ( "e" | "E" ) , [ sign ] , digits ] ;
sign = "-" | "+" ;
digits = digit , { digit | "_" , digit } ;
digit = "0" | "1" | "2" | "3" | "4" | "5" | "6" | "7" | "8" | "9" ;
extra spaces = ? \s* ? ;

See also String#to_r.

Returns the /etc/passwd information for the user with specified login name.

The information is returned as a Passwd struct.

See the unix manpage for getpwnam(3) for more detail.

Example:

Etc.getpwnam('root')
#=> #<struct Etc::Passwd name="root", passwd="x", uid=0, gid=0, gecos="root",dir="/root", shell="/bin/bash">

Returns information about the group with specified name, as found in /etc/group.

The information is returned as a Group struct.

See the unix manpage for getgrnam(3) for more detail.

Example:

Etc.getgrnam('users')
#=> #<struct Etc::Group name="users", passwd="x", gid=100, mem=["meta", "root"]>

Returns the path to the trusted certificate with the given ASN.1 name

Returns a list of the private instance methods defined in mod. If the optional parameter is false, the methods of any ancestors are not included.

module Mod
  def method1()  end
  private :method1
  def method2()  end
end
Mod.instance_methods           #=> [:method2]
Mod.private_instance_methods   #=> [:method1]

Returns true if the named private method is defined by _ mod_ (or its included modules and, if mod is a class, its ancestors). String arguments are converted to symbols.

module A
  def method1()  end
end
class B
  private
  def method2()  end
end
class C < B
  include A
  def method3()  end
end

A.method_defined? :method1            #=> true
C.private_method_defined? "method1"   #=> false
C.private_method_defined? "method2"   #=> true
C.method_defined? "method2"           #=> false

Makes existing class methods private. Often used to hide the default constructor new.

String arguments are converted to symbols.

class SimpleSingleton  # Not thread safe
  private_class_method :new
  def SimpleSingleton.create(*args, &block)
    @me = new(*args, &block) if ! @me
    @me
  end
end

Returns the directories in the current shell’s PATH environment variable as an array of directory names. This sets the system_path for all instances of Shell.

Example: If in your current shell, you did:

$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin

Running this method in the above shell would then return:

["/usr/bin", "/bin", "/usr/local/bin"]
