Results for: "Psych"

Returns a true or false indicates whether the regexp is matched or not without updating $~ and other related variables. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.

/R.../.match?("Ruby")    #=> true
/R.../.match?("Ruby", 1) #=> false
/P.../.match?("Ruby")    #=> false
$&                       #=> nil

Calls the given block once for each element in the set, passing the element as parameter. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.

Returns sym.to_s.match.

Returns sym.to_s.match?.

Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname objects.

By default, the returned pathnames will have enough information to access the files. If you set with_directory to false, then the returned pathnames will contain the filename only.

For example:

pn = Pathname("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8")
pn.children
    # -> [ Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/English.rb,
           Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/Env.rb,
           Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/abbrev.rb, ... ]
pn.children(false)
    # -> [ Pathname:English.rb, Pathname:Env.rb, Pathname:abbrev.rb, ... ]

Note that the results never contain the entries . and .. in the directory because they are not children.

See IO.sysopen.

Changes file permissions.

See File.chmod.

Same as Pathname.chmod, but does not follow symbolic links.

See File.lchmod.

Change owner and group of the file.

See File.chown.

Same as Pathname.chown, but does not follow symbolic links.

Return true if the receiver matches the given pattern.

See File.fnmatch.

Return true if the receiver matches the given pattern.

Accepts an incoming connection returning an array containing the (integer) file descriptor for the incoming connection, client_socket_fd, and an Addrinfo, client_addrinfo.

Example

# In one script, start this first
require 'socket'
include Socket::Constants
socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' )
socket.bind( sockaddr )
socket.listen( 5 )
client_fd, client_addrinfo = socket.sysaccept
client_socket = Socket.for_fd( client_fd )
puts "The client said, '#{client_socket.readline.chomp}'"
client_socket.puts "Hello from script one!"
socket.close

# In another script, start this second
require 'socket'
include Socket::Constants
socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in( 2200, 'localhost' )
socket.connect( sockaddr )
socket.puts "Hello from script 2."
puts "The server said, '#{socket.readline.chomp}'"
socket.close

Refer to Socket#accept for the exceptions that may be thrown if the call to sysaccept fails.

• Socket#accept

iterates over the list of Addrinfo objects obtained by Addrinfo.getaddrinfo.

Addrinfo.foreach(nil, 80) {|x| p x }
#=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 TCP (:80)>
#   #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 UDP (:80)>
#   #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 TCP (:80)>
#   #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 UDP (:80)>

Returns a file descriptor of a accepted connection.

TCPServer.open("127.0.0.1", 28561) {|serv|
  fd = serv.sysaccept
  s = IO.for_fd(fd)
  s.puts Time.now
  s.close
}

Accepts a new connection. It returns the new file descriptor which is an integer.

UNIXServer.open("/tmp/sock") {|serv|
  UNIXSocket.open("/tmp/sock") {|c|
    fd = serv.sysaccept
    s = IO.new(fd)
    s.puts "hi"
    s.close
    p c.read #=> "hi\n"
  }
}

Returns 0. Just for compatibility to IO.

Returns true always.

Returns the argument unchanged. Just for compatibility to IO.

See IO#each.

Returns the character 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 size of the string.

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

s = StringScanner.new("abcädeföghi")
s.charpos           # -> 0
s.scan_until(/ä/)   # -> "abcä"
s.pos               # -> 5
s.charpos           # -> 4

Tests whether the given pattern is matched from the current scan pointer. Returns the length of the match, or nil. The scan pointer is not advanced.

s = StringScanner.new('test string')
p s.match?(/\w+/)   # -> 4
p s.match?(/\w+/)   # -> 4
p s.match?("test")  # -> 4
p s.match?(/\s+/)   # -> nil

This returns the value that scan would return, without advancing the scan pointer. The match register is affected, though.

s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39")
s.check /Fri/               # -> "Fri"
s.pos                       # -> 0
s.matched                   # -> "Fri"
s.check /12/                # -> nil
s.matched                   # -> nil

Mnemonic: it “checks” to see whether a scan will return a value.
