Invokes the given block once for each element of self, replacing the element with the value returned by the block.
See also Enumerable#collect.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ] a.map! {|x| x + "!" } a #=> [ "a!", "b!", "c!", "d!" ] a.collect!.with_index {|x, i| x[0...i] } a #=> ["", "b", "c!", "d!"]
Returns a new array containing all elements of ary for which the given block returns a true value.
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
[1,2,3,4,5].select { |num| num.even? } #=> [2, 4] a = %w{ a b c d e f } a.select { |v| v =~ /[aeiou]/ } #=> ["a", "e"]
See also Enumerable#select.
Invokes the given block passing in successive elements from self, deleting elements for which the block returns a false value.
The array may not be changed instantly every time the block is called.
If changes were made, it will return self, otherwise it returns nil.
See also Array#keep_if
If no block is given, an Enumerator is returned instead.
Returns a complex object which denotes the given rectangular form.
Complex.rectangular(1, 2) #=> (1+2i)
Returns an array; [num, 0].
Produces unescaped version of str. See also String#dump because String#undump does inverse of String#dump.
"\"hello \\n ''\"".undump #=> "hello \n ''"
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of obj.
The first form returns a copy of str transcoded to encoding encoding. The second form returns a copy of str transcoded from src_encoding to dst_encoding. The last form returns a copy of str transcoded to Encoding.default_internal.
By default, the first and second form raise Encoding::UndefinedConversionError for characters that are undefined in the destination encoding, and Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError for invalid byte sequences in the source encoding. The last form by default does not raise exceptions but uses replacement strings.
The options Hash gives details for conversion and can have the following keys:
If the value is :replace, encode replaces invalid byte sequences in str with the replacement character. The default is to raise the Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError exception
If the value is :replace, encode replaces characters which are undefined in the destination encoding with the replacement character. The default is to raise the Encoding::UndefinedConversionError.
Sets the replacement string to the given value. The default replacement string is “uFFFD” for Unicode encoding forms, and “?” otherwise.
Sets the replacement string by the given object for undefined character. The object should be a Hash, a Proc, a Method, or an object which has [] method. Its key is an undefined character encoded in the source encoding of current transcoder. Its value can be any encoding until it can be converted into the destination encoding of the transcoder.
The value must be :text or :attr. If the value is :text encode replaces undefined characters with their (upper-case hexadecimal) numeric character references. ‘&’, ‘<’, and ‘>’ are converted to “&”, “<”, and “>”, respectively. If the value is :attr, encode also quotes the replacement result (using ‘“’), and replaces ‘”’ with “"”.
Replaces LF (“n”) with CR (“r”) if value is true.
Replaces LF (“n”) with CRLF (“rn”) if value is true.
Replaces CRLF (“rn”) and CR (“r”) with LF (“n”) if value is true.
The first form transcodes the contents of str from str.encoding to encoding. The second form transcodes the contents of str from src_encoding to dst_encoding. The options Hash gives details for conversion. See String#encode for details. Returns the string even if no changes were made.
Checks the compatibility of two objects.
If the objects are both strings they are compatible when they are concatenatable. The encoding of the concatenated string will be returned if they are compatible, nil if they are not.
Encoding.compatible?("\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"), "b") #=> #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1> Encoding.compatible?( "\xa1".force_encoding("iso-8859-1"), "\xa1\xa1".force_encoding("euc-jp")) #=> nil
If the objects are non-strings their encodings are compatible when they have an encoding and:
Either encoding is US-ASCII compatible
One of the encodings is a 7-bit encoding
Returns true if the date is Monday.
Returns the month of the year (1..12) for time.
t = Time.now #=> 2007-11-19 08:27:30 -0600 t.mon #=> 11 t.month #=> 11
Returns the month of the year (1..12) for time.
t = Time.now #=> 2007-11-19 08:27:30 -0600 t.mon #=> 11 t.month #=> 11
Returns true if time represents Monday.
t = Time.local(2003, 8, 4) #=> 2003-08-04 00:00:00 -0500 p t.monday? #=> true
Returns a new array consisting of the [key, value] pairs for which the code block returns true.
Yields each member value from the struct to the block and returns an Array containing the member values from the struct for which the given block returns a true value (equivalent to Enumerable#select).
Lots = Struct.new(:a, :b, :c, :d, :e, :f) l = Lots.new(11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66) l.select {|v| v.even? } #=> [22, 44, 66]
Returns an File instance opened console.
If sym is given, it will be sent to the opened console with args and the result will be returned instead of the console IO itself.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Calls select(2) system call. It monitors given arrays of IO objects, waits until one or more of IO objects are ready for reading, are ready for writing, and have pending exceptions respectively, and returns an array that contains arrays of those IO objects. It will return nil if optional timeout value is given and no IO object is ready in timeout seconds.
IO.select peeks the buffer of IO objects for testing readability. If the IO buffer is not empty, IO.select immediately notifies readability. This “peek” only happens for IO objects. It does not happen for IO-like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.
The best way to use IO.select is invoking it after nonblocking methods such as read_nonblock, write_nonblock, etc. The methods raise an exception which is extended by IO::WaitReadable or IO::WaitWritable. The modules notify how the caller should wait with IO.select. If IO::WaitReadable is raised, the caller should wait for reading. If IO::WaitWritable is raised, the caller should wait for writing.
So, blocking read (readpartial) can be emulated using read_nonblock and IO.select as follows:
begin result = io_like.read_nonblock(maxlen) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io_like]) retry rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [io_like]) retry end
Especially, the combination of nonblocking methods and IO.select is preferred for IO like objects such as OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket. It has to_io method to return underlying IO object. IO.select calls to_io to obtain the file descriptor to wait.
This means that readability notified by IO.select doesn’t mean readability from OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket object.
The most likely situation is that OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket buffers some data. IO.select doesn’t see the buffer. So IO.select can block when OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial doesn’t block.
However, several more complicated situations exist.
SSL is a protocol which is sequence of records. The record consists of multiple bytes. So, the remote side of SSL sends a partial record, IO.select notifies readability but OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket cannot decrypt a byte and OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial will blocks.
Also, the remote side can request SSL renegotiation which forces the local SSL engine to write some data. This means OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#readpartial may invoke write system call and it can block. In such a situation, OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#read_nonblock raises IO::WaitWritable instead of blocking. So, the caller should wait for ready for writability as above example.
The combination of nonblocking methods and IO.select is also useful for streams such as tty, pipe socket socket when multiple processes read from a stream.
Finally, Linux kernel developers don’t guarantee that readability of select(2) means readability of following read(2) even for a single process. See select(2) manual on GNU/Linux system.
Invoking IO.select before IO#readpartial works well as usual. However it is not the best way to use IO.select.
The writability notified by select(2) doesn’t show how many bytes writable. IO#write method blocks until given whole string is written. So, IO#write(two or more bytes) can block after writability is notified by IO.select. IO#write_nonblock is required to avoid the blocking.
Blocking write (write) can be emulated using write_nonblock and IO.select as follows: IO::WaitReadable should also be rescued for SSL renegotiation in OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.
while 0 < string.bytesize begin written = io_like.write_nonblock(string) rescue IO::WaitReadable IO.select([io_like]) retry rescue IO::WaitWritable IO.select(nil, [io_like]) retry end string = string.byteslice(written..-1) end

rp, wp = IO.pipe mesg = "ping " 100.times { # IO.select follows IO#read. Not the best way to use IO.select. rs, ws, = IO.select([rp], [wp]) if r = rs[0] ret = r.read(5) print ret case ret when /ping/ mesg = "pong\n" when /pong/ mesg = "ping " end end if w = ws[0] w.write(mesg) end }
produces:
