Results for: "String# "

Pushes back one character (passed as a parameter) such that a subsequent buffered read will return it. There is no limitation for multiple pushbacks including pushing back behind the beginning of the buffer string.

See IO#ungetbyte

See IO#readlines.

Appends the given string to the underlying buffer string. The stream must be opened for writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a string using to_s. Returns the number of bytes written. See IO#write.

Returns the size of the buffer string.

Truncates the buffer string to at most integer bytes. The stream must be opened for writing.

Sets the scan pointer to the end of the string and clear matching data.

Returns the byte position of the scan pointer. In the ‘reset’ position, this value is zero. In the ‘terminated’ position (i.e. the string is exhausted), this value is the bytesize of the string.

In short, it’s a 0-based index into bytes of the string.

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
s.pos               # -> 0
s.scan_until /str/  # -> "test str"
s.pos               # -> 8
s.terminate         # -> #<StringScanner fin>
s.pos               # -> 11

Sets the byte position of the scan pointer.

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
s.pos = 7            # -> 7
s.rest               # -> "ring"

Looks ahead to see if the pattern exists anywhere in the string, without advancing the scan pointer. This predicates whether a scan_until will return a value.

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
s.exist? /s/            # -> 3
s.scan /test/           # -> "test"
s.exist? /s/            # -> 2
s.exist? /e/            # -> nil

Returns true iff there is more data in the string. See eos?. This method is obsolete; use eos? instead.

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
s.eos?              # These two
s.rest?             # are opposites.

Returns the “rest” of the string (i.e. everything after the scan pointer). If there is no more data (eos? = true), it returns "".

s.restsize is equivalent to s.rest_size. This method is obsolete; use rest_size instead.

Returns a string that represents the StringScanner object, showing:

• the current position

• the size of the string

• the characters surrounding the scan pointer

  s = StringScanner.new(“Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39”) s.inspect # -> ‘#<StringScanner 0/21 @ “Fri D…”>’ s.scan_until /12/ # -> “Fri Dec 12” s.inspect # -> ‘#<StringScanner 10/21 “…ec 12” @ “ 1975…”>’

Runs OLE method. The first argument specifies the method name of OLE Automation object. The others specify argument of the method. If you can not execute method directly, then use this method instead.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
excel.invoke('Quit')  # => same as excel.Quit

Runs the early binding method. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
excel._invoke(302, [], []) #  same effect as excel.Quit

Returns the method name with class name.

Returns true if the parameter is input.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
param1 = method.params[0]
puts param1.input? # => true

Returns the parameter name with class name. If the parameter has default value, then returns name=value string with class name.

Returns the OLE struct name and member name and the value of member

If COM server in VB.NET ComServer project is the following:

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class ComClass
    <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)> _
    Public title As String
    Public cost As Integer
End Class

then

srver = WIN32OLE.new('ComServer.ComClass')
obj = WIN32OLE_RECORD.new('Book', server)
obj.inspect # => <WIN32OLE_RECORD(ComClass) {"title" => nil, "cost" => nil}>

Returns number which represents type.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library', 'Documents')
puts tobj.typekind # => 4

Returns array of WIN32OLE_VARIABLE objects which represent variables defined in OLE class.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
vars = tobj.variables
vars.each do |v|
  puts "#{v.name} = #{v.value}"
end

The result of above sample script is follows:
  xlChart = -4109
  xlDialogSheet = -4116
  xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet = 4
  xlExcel4MacroSheet = 3
  xlWorksheet = -4167

Returns the type name with class name.

ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.ole_type.inspect => #<WIN32OLE_TYPE:IWebBrowser2>

Returns the type library name with class name.

tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library')
tlib.inspect # => "<#WIN32OLE_TYPELIB:Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library>"

Returns the number which represents variable kind.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
  puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.varkind}"
end

The result of above script is following:
   xlChart 2
   xlDialogSheet 2
   xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet 2
   xlExcel4MacroSheet 2
   xlWorksheet 2
