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"
Returns true if file_name is an absolute path, and false otherwise.
File.absolute_path?("c:/foo") #=> false (on Linux), true (on Windows)
Returns the pathname used to create file as a string. Does not normalize the name.
The pathname may not point to the file corresponding to file. For instance, the pathname becomes void when the file has been moved or deleted.
This method raises IOError for a file created using File::Constants::TMPFILE because they don’t have a pathname.
File.new("testfile").path #=> "testfile" File.new("/tmp/../tmp/xxx", "w").path #=> "/tmp/../tmp/xxx"
Returns whether ASCII-compatible or not.
Encoding::UTF_8.ascii_compatible? #=> true Encoding::UTF_16BE.ascii_compatible? #=> false
Returns any backtrace associated with the exception. This method is similar to Exception#backtrace, but the backtrace is an array of Thread::Backtrace::Location.
This method is not affected by Exception#set_backtrace().
Deserializes JSON string by constructing new Exception object with message m and backtrace b serialized with to_json
Return true if the caused method was called as private.
When this module is included in another, Ruby calls append_features in this module, passing it the receiving module in mod. Ruby’s default implementation is to add the constants, methods, and module variables of this module to mod if this module has not already been added to mod or one of its ancestors. See also Module#include.
When this module is prepended in another, Ruby calls prepend_features in this module, passing it the receiving module in mod. Ruby’s default implementation is to overlay the constants, methods, and module variables of this module to mod if this module has not already been added to mod or one of its ancestors. See also Module#prepend.
Creates instance variables and corresponding methods that return the value of each instance variable. Equivalent to calling “attr:name” on each name in turn. String arguments are converted to symbols.
Creates an accessor method to allow assignment to the attribute symbol.id2name. String arguments are converted to symbols.
Defines a named attribute for this module, where the name is symbol.id2name, creating an instance variable (@name) and a corresponding access method to read it. Also creates a method called name= to set the attribute. String arguments are converted to symbols.
module Mod attr_accessor(:one, :two) end Mod.instance_methods.sort #=> [:one, :one=, :two, :two=]
Makes a list of existing constants private.
Makes a list of existing constants deprecated. Attempt to refer to them will produce a warning.
module HTTP NotFound = Exception.new NOT_FOUND = NotFound # previous version of the library used this name deprecate_constant :NOT_FOUND end HTTP::NOT_FOUND # warning: constant HTTP::NOT_FOUND is deprecated
