Reads at most maxlen bytes from the ARGF stream in non-blocking mode.
Returns the file extension appended to the names of modified files under in-place edit mode. This value can be set using ARGF.inplace_mode= or passing the -i switch to the Ruby binary.
Sets the filename extension for in-place editing mode to the given String. Each file being edited has this value appended to its filename. The modified file is saved under this new name.
For example:
$ ruby argf.rb file.txt
ARGF.inplace_mode = '.bak'
ARGF.each_line do |line|
print line.sub("foo","bar")
end
Each line of file.txt has the first occurrence of “foo” replaced with “bar”, then the new line is written out to file.txt.bak.
Returns the external encoding for files read from ARGF as an Encoding object. The external encoding is the encoding of the text as stored in a file. Contrast with ARGF.internal_encoding, which is the encoding used to represent this text within Ruby.
To set the external encoding use ARGF.set_encoding.
For example:
ARGF.external_encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF as an Encoding object.
If ARGF.set_encoding has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil is returned.
If single argument is specified, strings read from ARGF are tagged with the encoding specified.
If two encoding names separated by a colon are given, e.g. “ascii:utf-8”, the read string is converted from the first encoding (external encoding) to the second encoding (internal encoding), then tagged with the second encoding.
If two arguments are specified, they must be encoding objects or encoding names. Again, the first specifies the external encoding; the second specifies the internal encoding.
If the external encoding and the internal encoding are specified, the optional Hash argument can be used to adjust the conversion process. The structure of this hash is explained in the String#encode documentation.
For example:
ARGF.set_encoding('ascii') # Tag the input as US-ASCII text ARGF.set_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # Tag the input as UTF-8 text ARGF.set_encoding('utf-8','ascii') # Transcode the input from US-ASCII # to UTF-8.
Create an HTTP header block as a string.
Includes the empty line that ends the header block.
content_type_string
If this form is used, this string is the Content-Type
headers_hash
A Hash of header values. The following header keys are recognized:
The Content-Type header. Defaults to “text/html”
The charset of the body, appended to the Content-Type header.
A boolean value. If true, prepend protocol string and status code, and date; and sets default values for “server” and “connection” if not explicitly set.
The HTTP status code as a String, returned as the Status header. The values are:
200 OK
206 Partial Content
300 Multiple Choices
301 Moved Permanently
302 Found
304 Not Modified
400 Bad Request
401 Authorization Required
403 Forbidden
404 Not Found
405 Method Not Allowed
406 Not Acceptable
411 Length Required
412 Precondition Failed
500 Internal Server Error
501 Method Not Implemented
502 Bad Gateway
506 Variant Also Negotiates
The server software, returned as the Server header.
The connection type, returned as the Connection header (for instance, “close”.
The length of the content that will be sent, returned as the Content-Length header.
The language of the content, returned as the Content-Language header.
The time on which the current content expires, as a Time object, returned as the Expires header.
A cookie or cookies, returned as one or more Set-Cookie headers. The value can be the literal string of the cookie; a CGI::Cookie object; an Array of literal cookie strings or Cookie objects; or a hash all of whose values are literal cookie strings or Cookie objects.
These cookies are in addition to the cookies held in the @output_cookies field.
Other headers can also be set; they are appended as key: value.
Examples:
http_header # Content-Type: text/html http_header("text/plain") # Content-Type: text/plain http_header("nph" => true, "status" => "OK", # == "200 OK" # "status" => "200 GOOD", "server" => ENV['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], "connection" => "close", "type" => "text/html", "charset" => "iso-2022-jp", # Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-2022-jp "length" => 103, "language" => "ja", "expires" => Time.now + 30, "cookie" => [cookie1, cookie2], "my_header1" => "my_value", "my_header2" => "my_value")
This method does not perform charset conversion.
This method is a shortcut for converting a single row (Array) into a CSV String.
The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands. This method understands an additional :encoding parameter to set the base Encoding for the output. This method will try to guess your Encoding from the first non-nil field in row, if possible, but you may need to use this parameter as a backup plan.
The :row_sep option defaults to $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR ($/) when calling this method.
The encoded :col_sep used in parsing and writing. See CSV::new for details.
The encoded :row_sep used in parsing and writing. See CSV::new for details.
The encoded :quote_char used in parsing and writing. See CSV::new for details.
Returns true if the next row read will be a header row.
Used to filter unwanted trace output
Example which only outputs lines of code executed within the Kernel class:
Tracer.add_filter do |event, file, line, id, binding, klass, *rest| "Kernel" == klass.to_s end
Creates a new compiler for ERB. See ERB::Compiler.new for details
Returns a new binding each time near TOPLEVEL_BINDING for runs that do not specify a binding.
Return the appropriate error message in POSIX-defined format. If no error has occurred, returns nil.
Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.
Returns the names of the binding’s local variables as symbols.
def foo a = 1 2.times do |n| binding.local_variables #=> [:a, :n] end end
This method is the short version of the following code:
binding.eval("local_variables")
Set date-time format.
datetime_format
A string suitable for passing to strftime.
Returns the date format being used. See datetime_format=
