Returns the date format being used. See datetime_format=
Creates an OptionParser::Switch from the parameters. The parsed argument value is passed to the given block, where it can be processed.
See at the beginning of OptionParser for some full examples.
opts can include the following elements:
One of the following:
:NONE, :REQUIRED, :OPTIONAL
Acceptable option argument format, must be pre-defined with OptionParser.accept or OptionParser#accept, or Regexp. This can appear once or assigned as String if not present, otherwise causes an ArgumentError. Examples:
Float, Time, Array
[:text, :binary, :auto] %w[iso-2022-jp shift_jis euc-jp utf8 binary] { "jis" => "iso-2022-jp", "sjis" => "shift_jis" }
Specifies a long style switch which takes a mandatory, optional or no argument. It’s a string of the following form:
"--switch=MANDATORY" or "--switch MANDATORY" "--switch[=OPTIONAL]" "--switch"
Specifies short style switch which takes a mandatory, optional or no argument. It’s a string of the following form:
"-xMANDATORY" "-x[OPTIONAL]" "-x"
There is also a special form which matches character range (not full set of regular expression):
"-[a-z]MANDATORY" "-[a-z][OPTIONAL]" "-[a-z]"
Instead of specifying mandatory or optional arguments directly in the switch parameter, this separate parameter can be used.
"=MANDATORY" "=[OPTIONAL]"
Description string for the option.
"Run verbosely"
If you give multiple description strings, each string will be printed line by line.
Handler for the parsed argument value. Either give a block or pass a Proc or Method as an argument.
Sends a PATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Sends a PROPPATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Tries to return the element at position index, but throws an IndexError exception if the referenced index lies outside of the array bounds. This error can be prevented by supplying a second argument, which will act as a default value.
Alternatively, if a block is given it will only be executed when an invalid index is referenced.
Negative values of index count from the end of the array.
a = [ 11, 22, 33, 44 ] a.fetch(1) #=> 22 a.fetch(-1) #=> 44 a.fetch(4, 'cat') #=> "cat" a.fetch(100) {|i| puts "#{i} is out of bounds"} #=> "100 is out of bounds"
Returns a hash of parsed elements.
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
Date.xmlschema('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%F’).
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
Parses date as a dateTime defined by the XML Schema and converts it to a Time object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if date is not compliant with the format or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.
See xmlschema for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.xmlschema("2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00") #=> 2011-10-05 22:26:12-04:00
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Return a value from the database by locating the key string provided. If the key is not found, returns ifnone. If ifnone is not given, raises IndexError.
Reads and returns a character in raw mode.
See IO#raw for details on the parameters.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Retrieves the value corresponding to key. If there is no value associated with key, default will be returned instead.
Returns the value in the database associated with the given key string.
If a block is provided, the block will be called when there is no value associated with the given key. The key will be passed in as an argument to the block.
If no block is provided and no value is associated with the given key, then an IndexError will be raised.
Scans one character and returns it. This method is multibyte character sensitive.
s = StringScanner.new("ab") s.getch # => "a" s.getch # => "b" s.getch # => nil $KCODE = 'EUC' s = StringScanner.new("\244\242") s.getch # => "\244\242" # Japanese hira-kana "A" in EUC-JP s.getch # => nil
Returns a value from the hash for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise a KeyError exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } h.fetch("a") #=> 100 h.fetch("z", "go fish") #=> "go fish" h.fetch("z") { |el| "go fish, #{el}"} #=> "go fish, z"
The following example shows that an exception is raised if the key is not found and a default value is not supplied.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } h.fetch("z")
produces:
prog.rb:2:in `fetch': key not found (KeyError) from prog.rb:2
Retrieves the environment variable name.
If the given name does not exist and neither default nor a block a provided an KeyError is raised. If a block is given it is called with the missing name to provide a value. If a default value is given it will be returned when no block is given.
This is a convenience method which is same as follows:
begin q = PrettyPrint.new(output, maxwidth, newline, &genspace) ... q.flush output end
This method is just like PStore#[], save that you may also provide a default value for the object. In the event the specified name is not found in the data store, your default will be returned instead. If you do not specify a default, PStore::Error will be raised if the object is not found.
WARNING: This method is only valid in a PStore#transaction. It will raise PStore::Error if called at any other time.
Returns a fiber-local for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise a KeyError exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned.
