Waits until IO
is writable without blocking and returns self
or nil
when times out.
Returns an array of the values associated with each specified key.
Deserializes JSON
string by constructing new Regexp
object with source s
(Regexp
or String
) and options o
serialized by to_json
The first form returns the MatchData
object generated by the last successful pattern match. Equivalent to reading the special global variable $~
(see Special global variables in Regexp
for details).
The second form returns the nth field in this MatchData
object. n can be a string or symbol to reference a named capture.
Note that the last_match
is local to the thread and method scope of the method that did the pattern match.
/c(.)t/ =~ 'cat' #=> 0 Regexp.last_match #=> #<MatchData "cat" 1:"a"> Regexp.last_match(0) #=> "cat" Regexp.last_match(1) #=> "a" Regexp.last_match(2) #=> nil /(?<lhs>\w+)\s*=\s*(?<rhs>\w+)/ =~ "var = val" Regexp.last_match #=> #<MatchData "var = val" lhs:"var" rhs:"val"> Regexp.last_match(:lhs) #=> "var" Regexp.last_match(:rhs) #=> "val"
Return the path as a String
.
to_path
is implemented so Pathname
objects are usable with File.open
, etc.
Returns an Array
of values corresponding to the given keys.
Returns true for IPv4 private address (10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16). It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv4-compatible IPv6 address (::/80). It returns false otherwise.
Returns the socket path as a string.
Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock").unix_path #=> "/tmp/sock"
Returns the size of the most recent match (see matched
), or nil
if there was no recent match.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.check /\w+/ # -> "test" s.matched_size # -> 4 s.check /\d+/ # -> nil s.matched_size # -> nil
Returns the pre-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns the post-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns the subgroups in the most recent match at the given indices. If nothing was priorly matched, it returns nil.
s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39") s.scan(/(\w+) (\w+) (\d+) /) # -> "Fri Dec 12 " s.values_at 0, -1, 5, 2 # -> ["Fri Dec 12 ", "12", nil, "Dec"] s.scan(/(\w+) (\w+) (\d+) /) # -> nil s.values_at 0, -1, 5, 2 # -> nil
Creates GUID.
WIN32OLE.create_guid # => {1CB530F1-F6B1-404D-BCE6-1959BF91F4A8}
Evaluates a string containing Ruby source code, or the given block, within the context of the receiver (obj). In order to set the context, the variable self
is set to obj while the code is executing, giving the code access to obj’s instance variables and private methods.
When instance_eval
is given a block, obj is also passed in as the block’s only argument.
When instance_eval
is given a String
, the optional second and third parameters supply a filename and starting line number that are used when reporting compilation errors.
class KlassWithSecret def initialize @secret = 99 end private def the_secret "Ssssh! The secret is #{@secret}." end end k = KlassWithSecret.new k.instance_eval { @secret } #=> 99 k.instance_eval { the_secret } #=> "Ssssh! The secret is 99." k.instance_eval {|obj| obj == self } #=> true
