With no argument, or if the argument is the same as the receiver, return the receiver. Otherwise, create a new exception object of the same class as the receiver, but with a message equal to string.to_str.
Parses the given representation of date and time, and returns a hash of parsed elements. This method does not function as a validator.
If the optional second argument is true and the detected year is in the range “00” to “99”, considers the year a 2-digit form and makes it full.
Date._parse('2001-02-03') #=> {:year=>2001, :mon=>2, :mday=>3}
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.
Parses the given representation of date and time, and creates a date object. This method does not function as a validator.
If the optional second argument is true and the detected year is in the range “00” to “99”, considers the year a 2-digit form and makes it full.
Date.parse('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.parse('20010203') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...> Date.parse('3rd Feb 2001') #=> #<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.
Parses the given representation of date and time, and creates a DateTime object. This method does not function as a validator.
If the optional second argument is true and the detected year is in the range “00” to “99”, makes it full.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...> DateTime.parse('20010203T040506+0700') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...> DateTime.parse('3rd Feb 2001 04:05:06 PM') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T16:05:06+00:00 ...>
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.
Takes a string representation of a Time and attempts to parse it using a heuristic.
require 'time' Time.parse("2010-10-31") #=> 2010-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
Any missing pieces of the date are inferred based on the current date.
require 'time' # assuming the current date is "2011-10-31" Time.parse("12:00") #=> 2011-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
We can change the date used to infer our missing elements by passing a second object that responds to mon, day and year, such as Date, Time or DateTime. We can also use our own object.
require 'time' class MyDate attr_reader :mon, :day, :year def initialize(mon, day, year) @mon, @day, @year = mon, day, year end end d = Date.parse("2010-10-28") t = Time.parse("2010-10-29") dt = DateTime.parse("2010-10-30") md = MyDate.new(10,31,2010) Time.parse("12:00", d) #=> 2010-10-28 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", t) #=> 2010-10-29 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", dt) #=> 2010-10-30 12:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("12:00", md) #=> 2010-10-31 12:00:00 -0500
If a block is given, the year described in date is converted by the block. This is specifically designed for handling two digit years. For example, if you wanted to treat all two digit years prior to 70 as the year 2000+ you could write this:
require 'time' Time.parse("01-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)} #=> 2001-10-31 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("70-10-31") {|year| year + (year < 70 ? 2000 : 1900)} #=> 1970-10-31 00:00:00 -0500
If the upper components of the given time are broken or missing, they are supplied with those of now. For the lower components, the minimum values (1 or 0) are assumed if broken or missing. For example:
require 'time' # Suppose it is "Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001" now and # your time zone is EST which is GMT-5. now = Time.parse("Thu Nov 29 14:33:20 2001") Time.parse("16:30", now) #=> 2001-11-29 16:30:00 -0500 Time.parse("7/23", now) #=> 2001-07-23 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("Aug 31", now) #=> 2001-08-31 00:00:00 -0500 Time.parse("Aug 2000", now) #=> 2000-08-01 00:00:00 -0500
Since there are numerous conflicts among locally defined time zone abbreviations all over the world, this method is not intended to understand all of them. For example, the abbreviation “CST” is used variously as:
-06:00 in America/Chicago, -05:00 in America/Havana, +08:00 in Asia/Harbin, +09:30 in Australia/Darwin, +10:30 in Australia/Adelaide, etc.
Based on this fact, this method only understands the time zone abbreviations described in RFC 822 and the system time zone, in the order named. (i.e. a definition in RFC 822 overrides the system time zone definition.) The system time zone is taken from Time.local(year, 1, 1).zone and Time.local(year, 7, 1).zone. If the extracted time zone abbreviation does not match any of them, it is ignored and the given time is regarded as a local time.
ArgumentError is raised if Date._parse cannot extract information from date or if the Time class cannot represent specified date.
This method can be used as a fail-safe for other parsing methods as:
Time.rfc2822(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.httpdate(date) rescue Time.parse(date) Time.xmlschema(date) rescue Time.parse(date)
A failure of Time.parse should be checked, though.
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Parses the given Ruby program read from src. src must be a String or an IO or a object with a gets method.
Start parsing and returns the value of the root action.
Returns the type library version.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') puts tlib.version #-> "1.3"
Parse an HTTP query string into a hash of key=>value pairs.
params = CGI::parse("query_string") # {"name1" => ["value1", "value2", ...], # "name2" => ["value1", "value2", ...], ... }
This method can be used to easily parse CSV out of a String. You may either provide a block which will be called with each row of the String in turn, or just use the returned Array of Arrays (when no block is given).
You pass your str to read from, and an optional options containing anything CSV::new() understands.
Returns the current list of converters in effect. See CSV::new for details. Built-in converters will be returned by name, while others will be returned as is.

Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it.
opts can have the following keys:
max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Disable depth checking with :max_nesting => false. It defaults to 100.
allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 7159 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to false.
symbolize_names: If set to true, returns symbols for the names (keys) in a JSON object. Otherwise strings are returned. Strings are the default.
create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matching class and create_id was found. This option defaults to false.
object_class: Defaults to Hash
array_class: Defaults to Array
Parse the JSON document source into a Ruby data structure and return it. The bang version of the parse method defaults to the more dangerous values for the opts hash, so be sure only to parse trusted source documents.
opts can have the following keys:
max_nesting: The maximum depth of nesting allowed in the parsed data structures. Enable depth checking with :max_nesting => anInteger. The parse! methods defaults to not doing max depth checking: This can be dangerous if someone wants to fill up your stack.
allow_nan: If set to true, allow NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity in defiance of RFC 7159 to be parsed by the Parser. This option defaults to true.
create_additions: If set to false, the Parser doesn’t create additions even if a matching class and create_id was found. This option defaults to false.
Parse a YAML string in yaml. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Document. filename is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError is raised.
Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.
Example:
Psych.parse("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00> begin Psych.parse("--- `", filename: "file.txt") rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex ex.file # => 'file.txt' ex.message # => "(file.txt): found character that cannot start any token" end
See Psych::Nodes for more information about YAML AST.
The standard configuration object for gems.
Use the given configuration object (which implements the ConfigFile protocol) as the standard configuration object.
