Simple deprecation method that deprecates name by wrapping it up in a dummy method. It warns on each call to the dummy method telling the user of repl (unless repl is :none) and the year/month that it is planned to go away.
A Zlib::Inflate#inflate wrapper
SecureRandom.choose generates a string that randomly draws from a source array of characters.
The argument source specifies the array of characters from which to generate the string. The argument n specifies the length, in characters, of the string to be generated.
The result may contain whatever characters are in the source array.
require 'securerandom' SecureRandom.choose([*'l'..'r'], 16) #=> "lmrqpoonmmlqlron" SecureRandom.choose([*'0'..'9'], 5) #=> "27309"
If a secure random number generator is not available, NotImplementedError is raised.
Same as Array#each, but passes the index of the element instead of the element itself.
An Enumerator is returned if no block is given.
a = [ "a", "b", "c" ] a.each_index {|x| print x, " -- " }
produces:
0 -- 1 -- 2 --
Same as Array#each, but traverses self in reverse order.
a = [ "a", "b", "c" ] a.reverse_each {|x| print x, " " }
produces:
c b a
Returns an array containing the elements in self corresponding to the given selector(s).
The selectors may be either integer indices or ranges.
See also Array#select.
a = %w{ a b c d e f } a.values_at(1, 3, 5) # => ["b", "d", "f"] a.values_at(1, 3, 5, 7) # => ["b", "d", "f", nil] a.values_at(-1, -2, -2, -7) # => ["f", "e", "e", nil] a.values_at(4..6, 3...6) # => ["e", "f", nil, "d", "e", "f"]
Deletes the element at the specified index, returning that element, or nil if the index is out of range.
See also Array#slice!
a = ["ant", "bat", "cat", "dog"] a.delete_at(2) #=> "cat" a #=> ["ant", "bat", "dog"] a.delete_at(99) #=> nil
By using binary search, finds an index of a value from this array which meets the given condition in O(log n) where n is the size of the array.
It supports two modes, depending on the nature of the block. They are exactly the same as in the case of the bsearch method, with the only difference being that this method returns the index of the element instead of the element itself. For more details consult the documentation for bsearch.
Returns the list of private methods accessible to obj. If the all parameter is set to false, only those methods in the receiver will be listed.
Iterates the given block over all prime numbers.
See Prime#each for more details.
Splits str using the supplied parameter as the record separator ($/ by default), passing each substring in turn to the supplied block. If a zero-length record separator is supplied, the string is split into paragraphs delimited by multiple successive newlines.
If chomp is true, separator will be removed from the end of each line.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
"hello\nworld".each_line {|s| p s} # prints: # "hello\n" # "world" "hello\nworld".each_line('l') {|s| p s} # prints: # "hel" # "l" # "o\nworl" # "d" "hello\n\n\nworld".each_line('') {|s| p s} # prints # "hello\n\n" # "world" "hello\nworld".each_line(chomp: true) {|s| p s} # prints: # "hello" # "world" "hello\nworld".each_line('l', chomp: true) {|s| p s} # prints: # "he" # "" # "o\nwor" # "d"
Passes each byte in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.
"hello".each_byte {|c| print c, ' ' }
produces:
104 101 108 108 111
Passes the Integer ordinal of each character in str, also known as a codepoint when applied to Unicode strings to the given block. For encodings other than UTF-8/UTF-16(BE|LE)/UTF-32(BE|LE), values are directly derived from the binary representation of each character.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
"hello\u0639".each_codepoint {|c| print c, ' ' }
produces:
104 101 108 108 111 1593
Unicode Normalization—Returns a normalized form of str, using Unicode normalizations NFC, NFD, NFKC, or NFKD. The normalization form used is determined by form, which can be any of the four values :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd. The default is :nfc.
If the string is not in a Unicode Encoding, then an Exception is raised. In this context, ‘Unicode Encoding’ means any of UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE, and UTF-32BE/LE, as well as GB18030, UCS_2BE, and UCS_4BE. Anything other than UTF-8 is implemented by converting to UTF-8, which makes it slower than UTF-8.
"a\u0300".unicode_normalize #=> "\u00E0" "a\u0300".unicode_normalize(:nfc) #=> "\u00E0" "\u00E0".unicode_normalize(:nfd) #=> "a\u0300" "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1').unicode_normalize(:nfd) #=> Encoding::CompatibilityError raised
Destructive version of String#unicode_normalize, doing Unicode normalization in place.
Checks whether str is in Unicode normalization form form, which can be any of the four values :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd. The default is :nfc.
If the string is not in a Unicode Encoding, then an Exception is raised. For details, see String#unicode_normalize.
"a\u0300".unicode_normalized? #=> false "a\u0300".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) #=> true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized? #=> true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) #=> false "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1').unicode_normalized? #=> Encoding::CompatibilityError raised

Returns the path parameter passed to dir’s constructor.
d = Dir.new("..") d.path #=> ".."
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. The given pathname may start with a “~”, which expands to the process owner’s home directory (the environment variable HOME must be set correctly). “~user” expands to the named user’s home directory.
File.expand_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "/home/oracle/bin"
A simple example of using dir_string is as follows.
File.expand_path("ruby", "/usr/bin") #=> "/usr/bin/ruby"
A more complex example which also resolves parent directory is as follows. Suppose we are in bin/mygem and want the absolute path of lib/mygem.rb.
File.expand_path("../../lib/mygem.rb", __FILE__) #=> ".../path/to/project/lib/mygem.rb"
So first it resolves the parent of __FILE__, that is bin/, then go to the parent, the root of the project and appends lib/mygem.rb.
Converts a pathname to an absolute pathname. Relative paths are referenced from the current working directory of the process unless dir_string is given, in which case it will be used as the starting point. If the given pathname starts with a “~” it is NOT expanded, it is treated as a normal directory name.
File.absolute_path("~oracle/bin") #=> "<relative_path>/~oracle/bin"
