Returns true if time represents Thursday.
t = Time.local(1995, 12, 21) #=> 1995-12-21 00:00:00 -0600 t.thursday? #=> true
Returns true if time represents Friday.
t = Time.local(1987, 12, 18) #=> 1987-12-18 00:00:00 -0600 t.friday? #=> true
Returns pathname configuration variable using fpathconf().
name should be a constant under Etc which begins with PC_.
The return value is an integer or nil. nil means indefinite limit. (fpathconf() returns -1 but errno is not set.)
require 'etc' IO.pipe {|r, w| p w.pathconf(Etc::PC_PIPE_BUF) #=> 4096 }
Returns true if ios is associated with a terminal device (tty), false otherwise.
File.new("testfile").isatty #=> false File.new("/dev/tty").isatty #=> true
Returns a MatchData object describing the match, or nil if there was no match. This is equivalent to retrieving the value of the special variable $~ following a normal match. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
/(.)(.)(.)/.match("abc")[2] #=> "b" /(.)(.)/.match("abc", 1)[2] #=> "c"
If a block is given, invoke the block with MatchData if match succeed, so that you can write
/M(.*)/.match("Matz") do |m| puts m[0] puts m[1] end
instead of
if m = /M(.*)/.match("Matz") puts m[0] puts m[1] end
The return value is a value from block execution in this case.
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
Returns a new set that is a copy of the set, flattening each containing set recursively.
Equivalent to Set#flatten, but replaces the receiver with the result in place. Returns nil if no modifications were made.
Returns sym.to_s.match.
Returns sym.to_s.match?.
Same as sym.to_s.capitalize.intern.
Allocates space for a new object of class’s class and does not call initialize on the new instance. The returned object must be an instance of class.
klass = Class.new do def initialize(*args) @initialized = true end def initialized? @initialized || false end end klass.allocate.initialized? #=> false
Returns clean pathname of self with consecutive slashes and useless dots removed. The filesystem is not accessed.
If consider_symlink is true, then a more conservative algorithm is used to avoid breaking symbolic linkages. This may retain more .. entries than absolutely necessary, but without accessing the filesystem, this can’t be avoided.
See Pathname#realpath.
The opposite of Pathname#absolute?
It returns false if the pathname begins with a slash.
p = Pathname.new('/im/sure') p.relative? #=> false p = Pathname.new('not/so/sure') p.relative? #=> true
Creates a full path, including any intermediate directories that don’t yet exist.
See FileUtils.mkpath and FileUtils.mkdir_p
Returns pathname. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
Returns pathname. This method is deprecated and will be removed in Ruby 3.2.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname for self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
All components of the pathname must exist when this method is called.
Returns the real (absolute) pathname of self in the actual filesystem.
Does not contain symlinks or useless dots, .. and ..
The last component of the real pathname can be nonexistent.
