The first form returns the MatchData object generated by the last successful pattern match. Equivalent to reading the special global variable $~ (see Special global variables in Regexp for details).
The second form returns the nth field in this MatchData object. n can be a string or symbol to reference a named capture.
Note that the last_match is local to the thread and method scope of the method that did the pattern match.

Returns false if rxp is applicable to a string with any ASCII compatible encoding. Returns true otherwise.

Dup internal hash.
Clone internal hash.
Iterates over each line in the file and yields a String object for each.
USE OF RIPPER LIBRARY ONLY.
Strips up to width leading whitespaces from input, and returns the stripped column width.
USE OF RIPPER LIBRARY ONLY.
Strips up to width leading whitespaces from input, and returns the stripped column width.
Packs port and host as an AF_INET/AF_INET6 sockaddr string.
Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "127.0.0.1") #=> "\x02\x00\x00P\x7F\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00" Socket.sockaddr_in(80, "::1") #=> "\n\x00\x00P\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00"
creates a new Socket connected to the address of local_addrinfo.
If local_addrinfo is nil, the address of the socket is not bound.
The timeout specify the seconds for timeout. Errno::ETIMEDOUT is raised when timeout occur.
If a block is given the created socket is yielded for each address.
returns a string which shows the sockaddr in addrinfo with human-readable form.
Addrinfo.tcp("localhost", 80).inspect_sockaddr #=> "127.0.0.1:80" Addrinfo.tcp("ip6-localhost", 80).inspect_sockaddr #=> "[::1]:80" Addrinfo.unix("/tmp/sock").inspect_sockaddr #=> "/tmp/sock"
Returns true for IPv6 link local address (ff80::/10). It returns false otherwise.
Returns true for IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (::ffff:0:0/80). It returns false otherwise.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the file. If the stream is write mode and no encoding is specified, returns nil.
Specify the encoding of the StringIO as ext_enc. Use the default external encoding if ext_enc is nil. 2nd argument int_enc and optional hash opt argument are ignored; they are for API compatibility to IO.
Duplicates a StringScanner object.
Returns the size of the most recent match in bytes, or nil if there was no recent match. This is different than matched.size, which will return the size in characters.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.check /\w+/ # -> "test" s.matched_size # -> 4 s.check /\d+/ # -> nil s.matched_size # -> nil
Returns the pre-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns the post-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns event interface name if the method is event.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SheetActivate') puts method.event_interface # => WorkbookEvents
Returns major version.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library', 'Documents') puts tobj.major_version # => 8
Returns the type library major version.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') puts tlib.major_version # -> 1
Returns variable kind string.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.variable_kind}"
