Returns the date format being used. See datetime_format=
Creates an OptionParser::Switch from the parameters. The parsed argument value is passed to the given block, where it can be processed.
See at the beginning of OptionParser for some full examples.
params can include the following elements:
One of the following:
:NONE, :REQUIRED, :OPTIONAL
Acceptable option argument format, must be pre-defined with OptionParser.accept or OptionParser#accept, or Regexp. This can appear once or assigned as String if not present, otherwise causes an ArgumentError. Examples:
Float, Time, Array
[:text, :binary, :auto] %w[iso-2022-jp shift_jis euc-jp utf8 binary] { "jis" => "iso-2022-jp", "sjis" => "shift_jis" }
Specifies a long style switch which takes a mandatory, optional or no argument. It’s a string of the following form:
"--switch=MANDATORY" or "--switch MANDATORY" "--switch[=OPTIONAL]" "--switch"
Specifies short style switch which takes a mandatory, optional or no argument. It’s a string of the following form:
"-xMANDATORY" "-x[OPTIONAL]" "-x"
There is also a special form which matches character range (not full set of regular expression):
"-[a-z]MANDATORY" "-[a-z][OPTIONAL]" "-[a-z]"
Instead of specifying mandatory or optional arguments directly in the switch parameter, this separate parameter can be used.
"=MANDATORY" "=[OPTIONAL]"
Description string for the option.
"Run verbosely"
If you give multiple description strings, each string will be printed line by line.
Handler for the parsed argument value. Either give a block or pass a Proc or Method as an argument.
mtch.values_at(index, ...) -> array
Uses each index to access the matching values, returning an array of the corresponding matches.
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138: The Movie") m.to_a #=> ["HX1138", "H", "X", "113", "8"] m.values_at(0, 2, -2) #=> ["HX1138", "X", "113"] m = /(?<a>\d+) *(?<op>[+\-*\/]) *(?<b>\d+)/.match("1 + 2") m.to_a #=> ["1 + 2", "1", "+", "2"] m.values_at(:a, :b, :op) #=> ["1", "2", "+"]
Sends a PATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Sends a PROPPATCH request to the path and gets a response, as an HTTPResponse object.
Returns the element at offset index.
With the single Integer argument index, returns the element at offset index:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1) # => "bar"
If index is negative, counts from the end of the array:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(-1) # => 2 a.fetch(-2) # => "bar"
With arguments index and default_value, returns the element at offset index if index is in range, otherwise returns default_value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1, nil) # => "bar"
With argument index and a block, returns the element at offset index if index is in range (and the block is not called); otherwise calls the block with index and returns its return value:
a = [:foo, 'bar', 2] a.fetch(1) {|index| raise 'Cannot happen' } # => "bar" a.fetch(50) {|index| "Value for #{index}" } # => "Value for 50"
Returns a hash of parsed elements.
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
Creates a new Date object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
Date.xmlschema('2001-02-03') #=> #<Date: 2001-02-03 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%F’).
Creates a new DateTime object by parsing from a string according to some typical XML Schema formats.
DateTime.xmlschema('2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00') #=> #<DateTime: 2001-02-03T04:05:06+07:00 ...>
Raise an ArgumentError when the string length is longer than limit. You can stop this check by passing ‘limit: nil`, but note that it may take a long time to parse.
This method is equivalent to strftime(‘%FT%T%:z’). The optional argument n is the number of digits for fractional seconds.
DateTime.parse('2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00').iso8601(9) #=> "2001-02-03T04:05:06.123456789+07:00"
Parses time as a dateTime defined by the XML Schema and converts it to a Time object. The format is a restricted version of the format defined by ISO 8601.
ArgumentError is raised if time is not compliant with the format or if the Time class cannot represent the specified time.
See xmlschema for more information on this format.
require 'time' Time.xmlschema("2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00") #=> 2011-10-05 22:26:12-04:00
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fractional_digits specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Return a value from the database by locating the key string provided. If the key is not found, returns ifnone. If ifnone is not given, raises IndexError.
Reads and returns a character in raw mode.
See IO#raw for details on the parameters.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Retrieves the value corresponding to key. If there is no value associated with key, default will be returned instead.
Scans one character and returns it. This method is multibyte character sensitive.
s = StringScanner.new("ab") s.getch # => "a" s.getch # => "b" s.getch # => nil s = StringScanner.new("\244\242".force_encoding("euc-jp")) s.getch # => "\x{A4A2}" # Japanese hira-kana "A" in EUC-JP s.getch # => nil
Returns the value for the given key, if found.
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.fetch(:bar) # => 1
If key is not found and no block was given, returns default_value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch, :default) # => :default
{}.fetch(:nosuch) # => nil
If key is not found and a block was given, yields key to the block and returns the block’s return value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch) {|key| "No key #{key}"} # => "No key nosuch"
Raises KeyError if neither default_value nor a block was given.
Note that this method does not use the values of either default or default_proc.
If name is the name of an environment variable, returns its value:
ENV['foo'] = '0' ENV.fetch('foo') # => '0'
Otherwise if a block is given (but not a default value), yields name to the block and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo') { |name| :need_not_return_a_string } # => :need_not_return_a_string
Otherwise if a default value is given (but not a block), returns the default value:
ENV.delete('foo') ENV.fetch('foo', :default_need_not_be_a_string) # => :default_need_not_be_a_string
If the environment variable does not exist and both default and block are given, issues a warning (“warning: block supersedes default value argument”), yields name to the block, and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo', :default) { |name| :block_return } # => :block_return
Raises KeyError if name is valid, but not found, and neither default value nor block is given:
ENV.fetch('foo') # Raises KeyError (key not found: "foo")
Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.
This is a convenience method which is same as follows:
begin q = PrettyPrint.new(output, maxwidth, newline, &genspace) ... q.flush output end
This method is just like PStore#[], save that you may also provide a default value for the object. In the event the specified name is not found in the data store, your default will be returned instead. If you do not specify a default, PStore::Error will be raised if the object is not found.
WARNING: This method is only valid in a PStore#transaction. It will raise PStore::Error if called at any other time.
Returns a fiber-local for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise a KeyError exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned. See Thread#[] and Hash#fetch.
