Calls block once for each key in hsh, passing the key-value pair as parameters.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
h = { "a" => 100, "b" => 200 } h.each {|key, value| puts "#{key} is #{value}" }
produces:
a is 100 b is 200
If name is the name of an environment variable, returns its value:
ENV['foo'] = '0' ENV.fetch('foo') # => '0'
Otherwise if a block is given (but not a default value), yields name to the block and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo') { |name| :need_not_return_a_string } # => :need_not_return_a_string
Otherwise if a default value is given (but not a block), returns the default value:
ENV.delete('foo') ENV.fetch('foo', :default_need_not_be_a_string) # => :default_need_not_be_a_string
If the environment variable does not exist and both default and block are given, issues a warning (“warning: block supersedes default value argument”), yields name to the block, and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo', :default) { |name| :block_return } # => :block_return
Raises KeyError if name is valid, but not found, and neither default value nor block is given:
ENV.fetch('foo') # Raises KeyError (key not found: "foo")
Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.
Yields each environment variable name and its value as a 2-element Array:
h = {} ENV.each_pair { |name, value| h[name] = value } # => ENV h # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
Returns an Enumerator if no block given:
h = {} e = ENV.each_pair # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}:each_pair> e.each { |name, value| h[name] = value } # => ENV h # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
Returns an enumerator which iterates over each line (separated by sep, which defaults to your platform’s newline character) of each file in ARGV. If a block is supplied, each line in turn will be yielded to the block, otherwise an enumerator is returned. The optional limit argument is an Integer specifying the maximum length of each line; longer lines will be split according to this limit.
This method allows you to treat the files supplied on the command line as a single file consisting of the concatenation of each named file. After the last line of the first file has been returned, the first line of the second file is returned. The ARGF.filename and ARGF.lineno methods can be used to determine the filename of the current line and line number of the whole input, respectively.
For example, the following code prints out each line of each named file prefixed with its line number, displaying the filename once per file:
ARGF.each_line do |line| puts ARGF.filename if ARGF.file.lineno == 1 puts "#{ARGF.file.lineno}: #{line}" end
While the following code prints only the first file’s name at first, and the contents with line number counted through all named files.
ARGF.each_line do |line| puts ARGF.filename if ARGF.lineno == 1 puts "#{ARGF.lineno}: #{line}" end
This is a deprecated alias for each_char.
Reads the next character from ARGF and returns it as a String. Raises an EOFError after the last character of the last file has been read.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.readchar #=> "f" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "\n" ARGF.readchar #=> end of file reached (EOFError)
This method is intended as the primary interface for reading CSV files. You pass a path and any options you wish to set for the read. Each row of file will be passed to the provided block in turn.
The options parameter can be anything CSV::new() understands. This method also understands an additional :encoding parameter that you can use to specify the Encoding of the data in the file to be read. You must provide this unless your data is in Encoding::default_external(). CSV will use this to determine how to parse the data. You may provide a second Encoding to have the data transcoded as it is read. For example, encoding: "UTF-32BE:UTF-8" would read UTF-32BE data from the file but transcode it to UTF-8 before CSV parses it.
Yields each row of the data source in turn.
Support for Enumerable.
The data source must be open for reading.
Iterator version of ‘get’.
The block is called repeatedly with two arguments: The first is the option name. The second is the argument which followed it (if any). Example: (‘–opt’, ‘value’)
The option name is always converted to the first (preferred) name given in the original options to GetoptLong.new.
Yields all elements of the matrix, starting with those of the first row, or returns an Enumerator if no block given. Elements can be restricted by passing an argument:
:all (default): yields all elements
:diagonal: yields only elements on the diagonal
:off_diagonal: yields all elements except on the diagonal
:lower: yields only elements on or below the diagonal
:strict_lower: yields only elements below the diagonal
:strict_upper: yields only elements above the diagonal
:upper: yields only elements on or above the diagonal
Matrix[ [1,2], [3,4] ].each { |e| puts e }
# => prints the numbers 1 to 4
Matrix[ [1,2], [3,4] ].each(:strict_lower).to_a # => [3]
Iterate over the elements of this vector
Iterate over the elements of this vector and v in conjunction.
Searches key in @stack for id hash and returns or yields the result.
Iterates the given block over all prime numbers.
ubound
Optional. An arbitrary positive number. The upper bound of enumeration. The method enumerates prime numbers infinitely if ubound is nil.
generator
Optional. An implementation of pseudo-prime generator.
An evaluated value of the given block at the last time. Or an enumerator which is compatible to an Enumerator if no block given.
Calls block once for each prime number, passing the prime as a parameter.
ubound
Upper bound of prime numbers. The iterator stops after it yields all prime numbers p <= ubound.
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. See Thread#[] and Hash#fetch.
Obtains a lock, runs the block, and releases the lock when the block completes. See the example under Mutex.
Equivalent to ($_.dup).chop!, except nil is never returned. See String#chop!. Available only when -p/-n command line option specified.
Equivalent to $_ = $_.chomp(string). See String#chomp. Available only when -p/-n command line option specified.
catch executes its block. If throw is not called, the block executes normally, and catch returns the value of the last expression evaluated.
catch(1) { 123 } # => 123
If throw(tag2, val) is called, Ruby searches up its stack for a catch block whose tag has the same object_id as tag2. When found, the block stops executing and returns val (or nil if no second argument was given to throw).
catch(1) { throw(1, 456) } # => 456 catch(1) { throw(1) } # => nil
When tag is passed as the first argument, catch yields it as the parameter of the block.
catch(1) {|x| x + 2 } # => 3
When no tag is given, catch yields a new unique object (as from Object.new) as the block parameter. This object can then be used as the argument to throw, and will match the correct catch block.
catch do |obj_A| catch do |obj_B| throw(obj_B, 123) puts "This puts is not reached" end puts "This puts is displayed" 456 end # => 456 catch do |obj_A| catch do |obj_B| throw(obj_A, 123) puts "This puts is still not reached" end puts "Now this puts is also not reached" 456 end # => 123
Enumerates over the items, chunking them together based on the return value of the block.
Consecutive elements which return the same block value are chunked together.
For example, consecutive even numbers and odd numbers can be chunked as follows.
[3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5].chunk { |n| n.even? }.each { |even, ary| p [even, ary] } #=> [false, [3, 1]] # [true, [4]] # [false, [1, 5, 9]] # [true, [2, 6]] # [false, [5, 3, 5]]
This method is especially useful for sorted series of elements. The following example counts words for each initial letter.
open("/usr/share/dict/words", "r:iso-8859-1") { |f| f.chunk { |line| line.ord }.each { |ch, lines| p [ch.chr, lines.length] } } #=> ["\n", 1] # ["A", 1327] # ["B", 1372] # ["C", 1507] # ["D", 791] # ...
The following key values have special meaning:
nil and :_separator specifies that the elements should be dropped.
:_alone specifies that the element should be chunked by itself.
Any other symbols that begin with an underscore will raise an error:
items.chunk { |item| :_underscore } #=> RuntimeError: symbols beginning with an underscore are reserved
nil and :_separator can be used to ignore some elements.
For example, the sequence of hyphens in svn log can be eliminated as follows:
sep = "-"*72 + "\n" IO.popen("svn log README") { |f| f.chunk { |line| line != sep || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines } } #=> ["r20018 | knu | 2008-10-29 13:20:42 +0900 (Wed, 29 Oct 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Update the portability section.\n", # "\n"] # ["r16725 | knu | 2008-05-31 23:34:23 +0900 (Sat, 31 May 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Add a note about default C flags.\n", # "\n"] # ...
Paragraphs separated by empty lines can be parsed as follows:
File.foreach("README").chunk { |line| /\A\s*\z/ !~ line || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines }
:_alone can be used to force items into their own chunk. For example, you can put lines that contain a URL by themselves, and chunk the rest of the lines together, like this:
pattern = /http/ open(filename) { |f| f.chunk { |line| line =~ pattern ? :_alone : true }.each { |key, lines| pp lines } }
If no block is given, an enumerator to ‘chunk` is returned instead.
Returns an enumerator object generated from this enumerator and given enumerables.
e = (1..3).chain([4, 5]) e.to_a #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Checks the status of the child process specified by pid. Returns nil if the process is still alive.
If the process is not alive, and raise was true, a PTY::ChildExited exception will be raised. Otherwise it will return a Process::Status instance.
pid
The process id of the process to check
raise
If true and the process identified by pid is no longer alive a PTY::ChildExited is raised.
Returns true if the named file is a character device.
file_name can be an IO object.
