Re-hashing the environment variables does nothing. It is provided for compatibility with Hash.
Converts the environment variables into an array of names and value arrays.
ENV.to_a # => [["TERM", "xterm-color"], ["SHELL", "/bin/bash"], ...]
Returns “ENV”
Creates a hash with a copy of the environment variables.
Returns “ARGF”.
Returns an integer representing the numeric file descriptor for the current file. Raises an ArgumentError if there isn’t a current file.
ARGF.fileno #=> 3
Reads length bytes from ARGF. The files named on the command line are concatenated and treated as a single file by this method, so when called without arguments the contents of this pseudo file are returned in their entirety.
length must be a non-negative integer or nil.
If length is a positive integer, read tries to read length bytes without any conversion (binary mode). It returns nil if an EOF is encountered before anything can be read. Fewer than length bytes are returned if an EOF is encountered during the read. In the case of an integer length, the resulting string is always in ASCII-8BIT encoding.
If length is omitted or is nil, it reads until EOF and the encoding conversion is applied, if applicable. A string is returned even if EOF is encountered before any data is read.
If length is zero, it returns an empty string ("").
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
For example:
$ echo "small" > small.txt $ echo "large" > large.txt $ ./glark.rb small.txt large.txt ARGF.read #=> "small\nlarge" ARGF.read(200) #=> "small\nlarge" ARGF.read(2) #=> "sm" ARGF.read(0) #=> ""
Note that this method behaves like the fread() function in C. This means it retries to invoke read(2) system calls to read data with the specified length. If you need the behavior like a single read(2) system call, consider ARGF#readpartial or ARGF#read_nonblock.
Reads at most maxlen bytes from the ARGF stream.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of ARGF stream. Since ARGF stream is a concatenation of multiple files, internally EOF is occur for each file. ARGF.readpartial returns empty strings for EOFs except the last one and raises EOFError for the last one.
Reads ARGF‘s current file in its entirety, returning an Array of its lines, one line per element. Lines are assumed to be separated by sep.
lines = ARGF.readlines lines[0] #=> "This is line one\n"
Reads ARGF‘s current file in its entirety, returning an Array of its lines, one line per element. Lines are assumed to be separated by sep.
lines = ARGF.readlines lines[0] #=> "This is line one\n"
Returns the next line from the current file in ARGF.
By default lines are assumed to be separated by $/; to use a different character as a separator, supply it as a String for the sep argument.
The optional limit argument specifies how many characters of each line to return. By default all characters are returned.
An EOFError is raised at the end of the file.
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)
Reads the next 8-bit byte from ARGF and returns it as an Integer. Raises an EOFError after the last byte of the last file has been read.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.readbyte #=> 102 ARGF.readbyte #=> 111 ARGF.readbyte #=> 111 ARGF.readbyte #=> 10 ARGF.readbyte #=> end of file reached (EOFError)
Positions the current file to the beginning of input, resetting ARGF.lineno to zero.
ARGF.readline #=> "This is line one\n" ARGF.rewind #=> 0 ARGF.lineno #=> 0 ARGF.readline #=> "This is line one\n"
Synonym for $stdin.
Synonym for $stdout.
This method will return a CSV instance, just like CSV::new(), but the instance will be cached and returned for all future calls to this method for the same data object (tested by Object#object_id()) with the same options.
If a block is given, the instance is passed to the block and the return value becomes the return value of the block.
Use to slurp a CSV file into an Array of Arrays. Pass the path to the file and any options 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.
Alias for CSV::read().
Rewinds the underlying IO object and resets CSV’s lineno() counter.
Slurps the remaining rows and returns an Array of Arrays.
The data source must be open for reading.
