Returns the header field corresponding to the case-insensitive key. For example, a key of “Content-Type” might return “text/html”
Returns the maker for the version
Returns the status class corresponding to code
WEBrick::HTTPStatus[302] => WEBrick::HTTPStatus::NotFound
Try to convert obj into a String, using to_str method. Returns converted string or nil if obj cannot be converted for any reason.
String.try_convert("str") #=> "str" String.try_convert(/re/) #=> nil
Replaces the contents of str with the corresponding values in other_str.
s = "hello" #=> "hello" s.replace "world" #=> "world"
Returns an array of grapheme clusters in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_grapheme_cluster.to_a.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_grapheme_cluster.
Returns true if str starts with one of the prefixes given. Each of the prefixes should be a String or a Regexp.
"hello".start_with?("hell") #=> true "hello".start_with?(/H/i) #=> true # returns true if one of the prefixes matches. "hello".start_with?("heaven", "hell") #=> true "hello".start_with?("heaven", "paradise") #=> false
Performs String#tr_s processing on str in place, returning str, or nil if no changes were made.
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 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
A node-set is converted to a string by returning the string-value of the node in the node-set that is first in document order. If the node-set is empty, an empty string is returned.
A number is converted to a string as follows
NaN is converted to the string NaN
positive zero is converted to the string 0
negative zero is converted to the string 0
positive infinity is converted to the string Infinity
negative infinity is converted to the string -Infinity
if the number is an integer, the number is represented in decimal form as a Number with no decimal point and no leading zeros, preceded by a minus sign (-) if the number is negative
otherwise, the number is represented in decimal form as a Number including a decimal point with at least one digit before the decimal point and at least one digit after the decimal point, preceded by a minus sign (-) if the number is negative; there must be no leading zeros before the decimal point apart possibly from the one required digit immediately before the decimal point; beyond the one required digit after the decimal point there must be as many, but only as many, more digits as are needed to uniquely distinguish the number from all other IEEE 754 numeric values.
The boolean false value is converted to the string false. The boolean true value is converted to the string true.
An object of a type other than the four basic types is converted to a string in a way that is dependent on that type.
Returns a complex which denotes the string form. The parser ignores leading whitespaces and trailing garbage. Any digit sequences can be separated by an underscore. Returns zero for null or garbage string.
'9'.to_c #=> (9+0i) '2.5'.to_c #=> (2.5+0i) '2.5/1'.to_c #=> ((5/2)+0i) '-3/2'.to_c #=> ((-3/2)+0i) '-i'.to_c #=> (0-1i) '45i'.to_c #=> (0+45i) '3-4i'.to_c #=> (3-4i) '-4e2-4e-2i'.to_c #=> (-400.0-0.04i) '-0.0-0.0i'.to_c #=> (-0.0-0.0i) '1/2+3/4i'.to_c #=> ((1/2)+(3/4)*i) 'ruby'.to_c #=> (0+0i)
See Kernel.Complex.
Returns the result of interpreting leading characters in str as a BigDecimal.
require 'bigdecimal' require 'bigdecimal/util' "0.5".to_d # => 0.5e0 "123.45e1".to_d # => 0.12345e4 "45.67 degrees".to_d # => 0.4567e2
See also BigDecimal::new.
Returns the result of interpreting leading characters in str as a rational. Leading whitespace and extraneous characters past the end of a valid number are ignored. Digit sequences can be separated by an underscore. If there is not a valid number at the start of str, zero is returned. This method never raises an exception.
' 2 '.to_r #=> (2/1) '300/2'.to_r #=> (150/1) '-9.2'.to_r #=> (-46/5) '-9.2e2'.to_r #=> (-920/1) '1_234_567'.to_r #=> (1234567/1) '21 June 09'.to_r #=> (21/1) '21/06/09'.to_r #=> (7/2) 'BWV 1079'.to_r #=> (0/1)
NOTE: “0.3”.to_r isn’t the same as 0.3.to_r. The former is equivalent to “3/10”.to_r, but the latter isn’t so.
"0.3".to_r == 3/10r #=> true 0.3.to_r == 3/10r #=> false
See also Kernel#Rational.
Returns the result of interpreting leading characters in str as an integer base base (between 2 and 36). Extraneous characters past the end of a valid number are ignored. If there is not a valid number at the start of str, 0 is returned. This method never raises an exception when base is valid.
"12345".to_i #=> 12345 "99 red balloons".to_i #=> 99 "0a".to_i #=> 0 "0a".to_i(16) #=> 10 "hello".to_i #=> 0 "1100101".to_i(2) #=> 101 "1100101".to_i(8) #=> 294977 "1100101".to_i(10) #=> 1100101 "1100101".to_i(16) #=> 17826049
Returns the result of interpreting leading characters in str as a floating point number. Extraneous characters past the end of a valid number are ignored. If there is not a valid number at the start of str, 0.0 is returned. This method never raises an exception.
"123.45e1".to_f #=> 1234.5 "45.67 degrees".to_f #=> 45.67 "thx1138".to_f #=> 0.0
Returns the Symbol corresponding to str, creating the symbol if it did not previously exist. See Symbol#id2name.
"Koala".intern #=> :Koala s = 'cat'.to_sym #=> :cat s == :cat #=> true s = '@cat'.to_sym #=> :@cat s == :@cat #=> true
This can also be used to create symbols that cannot be represented using the :xxx notation.
'cat and dog'.to_sym #=> :"cat and dog"
Returns true if str ends with one of the suffixes given.
"hello".end_with?("ello") #=> true # returns true if one of the +suffixes+ matches. "hello".end_with?("heaven", "ello") #=> true "hello".end_with?("heaven", "paradise") #=> false
Returns a copy of str with leading prefix deleted.
"hello".delete_prefix("hel") #=> "lo" "hello".delete_prefix("llo") #=> "hello"
Returns a copy of str with trailing suffix deleted.
"hello".delete_suffix("llo") #=> "he" "hello".delete_suffix("hel") #=> "hello"
Deletes leading prefix from str, returning nil if no change was made.
"hello".delete_prefix!("hel") #=> "lo" "hello".delete_prefix!("llo") #=> nil
Deletes trailing suffix from str, returning nil if no change was made.
"hello".delete_suffix!("llo") #=> "he" "hello".delete_suffix!("hel") #=> nil
Passes each byte in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.

produces:
104 101 108 108 111
Passes each character in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.
