Sets an element, replacing any previous matching element. If no existing element is found ,the element is added.

index

Used to find a matching element to replace. See []().

element

The element to replace the existing element with the previous element

Returns

nil if no previous element was found.

doc = Document.new '<a/>'
doc.root.elements[10] = Element.new('b')    #-> <a><b/></a>
doc.root.elements[1]                        #-> <b/>
doc.root.elements[1] = Element.new('c')     #-> <a><c/></a>
doc.root.elements['c'] = Element.new('d')   #-> <a><d/></a>

Sets an attribute, overwriting any existing attribute value by the same name. Namespace is significant.

name

the name of the attribute

value

(optional) If supplied, the value of the attribute. If nil, any existing matching attribute is deleted.

Returns

Owning element

doc = Document.new "<a x:foo='1' foo='3'/>"
doc.root.attributes['y:foo'] = '2'
doc.root.attributes['foo'] = '4'
doc.root.attributes['x:foo'] = nil

Set an index entry. See Array.[]= @param index the index of the element to set @param opt either the object to set, or an Integer length @param child if opt is an Integer, this is the child to set @return the parent (self)

Set configuration option key to value.

Sets the response header field to value

Set key to value in database.

value will be converted to YAML before storage.

See store for more information.

Sets the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key.

Returns the list of Modules nested at the point of call.

module M1
  module M2
    $a = Module.nesting
  end
end
$a           #=> [M1::M2, M1]
$a[0].name   #=> "M1::M2"

Set the handling of the ordering of options and arguments. A RuntimeError is raised if option processing has already started.

The supplied value must be a member of GetoptLong::ORDERINGS. It alters the processing of options as follows:

REQUIRE_ORDER :

Options are required to occur before non-options.

Processing of options ends as soon as a word is encountered that has not been preceded by an appropriate option flag.

For example, if -a and -b are options which do not take arguments, parsing command line arguments of ‘-a one -b two’ would result in ‘one’, ‘-b’, ‘two’ being left in ARGV, and only (‘-a’, ”) being processed as an option/arg pair.

This is the default ordering, if the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. (This is for compatibility with GNU getopt_long.)

PERMUTE :

Options can occur anywhere in the command line parsed. This is the default behavior.

Every sequence of words which can be interpreted as an option (with or without argument) is treated as an option; non-option words are skipped.

For example, if -a does not require an argument and -b optionally takes an argument, parsing ‘-a one -b two three’ would result in (‘-a’,”) and (‘-b’, ‘two’) being processed as option/arg pairs, and ‘one’,‘three’ being left in ARGV.

If the ordering is set to PERMUTE but the environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, REQUIRE_ORDER is used instead. This is for compatibility with GNU getopt_long.

RETURN_IN_ORDER :

All words on the command line are processed as options. Words not preceded by a short or long option flag are passed as arguments with an option of ” (empty string).

For example, if -a requires an argument but -b does not, a command line of ‘-a one -b two three’ would result in option/arg pairs of (‘-a’, ‘one’) (‘-b’, ”), (”, ‘two’), (”, ‘three’) being processed.

Return the generated binding object from event

Returns the binding associated with prc.

def fred(param)
  proc {}
end

b = fred(99)
eval("param", b.binding)   #=> 99

Returns a Binding object, describing the variable and method bindings at the point of call. This object can be used when calling eval to execute the evaluated command in this environment. See also the description of class Binding.

def get_binding(param)
  binding
end
b = get_binding("hello")
eval("param", b)   #=> "hello"

Returns true if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Fred
  def initialize(p1, p2)
    @a, @b = p1, p2
  end
end
fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a)    #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b")   #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c")   #=> false

Returns true iff the scan pointer is at the beginning of the line.

s = StringScanner.new("test\ntest\n")
s.bol?           # => true
s.scan(/te/)
s.bol?           # => false
s.scan(/st\n/)
s.bol?           # => true
s.terminate
s.bol?           # => true

Returns an array of instance variable names for the receiver. Note that simply defining an accessor does not create the corresponding instance variable.

class Fred
  attr_accessor :a1
  def initialize
    @iv = 3
  end
end
Fred.new.instance_variables   #=> [:@iv]

Invoked when a reference is made to an undefined constant in mod. It is passed a symbol for the undefined constant, and returns a value to be used for that constant. The following code is an example of the same:

def Foo.const_missing(name)
  name # return the constant name as Symbol
end

Foo::UNDEFINED_CONST    #=> :UNDEFINED_CONST: symbol returned

In the next example when a reference is made to an undefined constant, it attempts to load a file whose name is the lowercase version of the constant (thus class Fred is assumed to be in file fred.rb). If found, it returns the loaded class. It therefore implements an autoload feature similar to Kernel#autoload and Module#autoload.

def Object.const_missing(name)
  @looked_for ||= {}
  str_name = name.to_s
  raise "Class not found: #{name}" if @looked_for[str_name]
  @looked_for[str_name] = 1
  file = str_name.downcase
  require file
  klass = const_get(name)
  return klass if klass
  raise "Class not found: #{name}"
end

Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
