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
Stores the specified string value in the database, indexed via the string key provided.
Associates the value value with the specified key.
Turns the database’s fast mode on or off. If fast mode is turned on, gdbm does not wait for writes to be flushed to the disk before continuing.
This option is obsolete for gdbm >= 1.8 since fast mode is turned on by default. See also: syncmode=
Stores a new value in the database with the given key as an index.
If the key already exists, this will update the value associated with the key.
Returns the given value.
Returns true iff there is more data in the string. See eos?. This method is obsolete; use eos? instead.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.eos? # These two s.rest? # are opposites.
Returns the “rest” of the string (i.e. everything after the scan pointer). If there is no more data (eos? = true), it returns "".
s.restsize is equivalent to s.rest_size. This method is obsolete; use rest_size instead.
Returns the type library version.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') puts tlib.version #-> "1.3"
Associates the value given by value with the key given by key.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } h["a"] = 9 h["c"] = 4 h #=> {"a"=>9, "b"=>200, "c"=>4} h.store("d", 42) #=> 42 h #=> {"a"=>9, "b"=>200, "c"=>4, "d"=>42}
key should not have its value changed while it is in use as a key (an unfrozen String passed as a key will be duplicated and frozen).
a = "a" b = "b".freeze h = { a => 100, b => 200 } h.key(100).equal? a #=> false h.key(200).equal? b #=> true
Sets the environment variable name to value. If the value given is nil the environment variable is deleted. name must be a string.
Returns revision information for the erb.rb module.

Executes command… in a subshell. command… is one of following forms.
commandline : command line string which is passed to the standard shell cmdname, arg1, ... : command name and one or more arguments (no shell) [cmdname, argv0], arg1, ... : command name, argv[0] and zero or more arguments (no shell)
system returns true if the command gives zero exit status, false for non zero exit status. Returns nil if command execution fails. An error status is available in $?. The arguments are processed in the same way as for Kernel.spawn.
The hash arguments, env and options, are same as exec and spawn. See Kernel.spawn for details.
system("echo *") system("echo", "*")
produces:
config.h main.rb *
See Kernel.exec for the standard shell.
Returns current status of GC stress mode.
Updates the GC stress mode.
When stress mode is enabled, the GC is invoked at every GC opportunity: all memory and object allocations.
Enabling stress mode will degrade performance, it is only for debugging.
flag can be true, false, or an integer bit-ORed following flags.
0x01:: no major GC 0x02:: no immediate sweep 0x04:: full mark after malloc/calloc/realloc
Quietly ensure the Gem directory dir contains all the proper subdirectories. If we can’t create a directory due to a permission problem, then we will silently continue.
If mode is given, missing directories are created with this mode.
World-writable directories will never be created.
