Results for: "Array"

Controls tracing of assignments to global variables. The parameter symbol identifies the variable (as either a string name or a symbol identifier). cmd (which may be a string or a Proc object) or block is executed whenever the variable is assigned. The block or Proc object receives the variable’s new value as a parameter. Also see Kernel::untrace_var.

trace_var :$_, proc {|v| puts "$_ is now '#{v}'" }
$_ = "hello"
$_ = ' there'

produces:

$_ is now 'hello'
$_ is now ' there'

Removes tracing for the specified command on the given global variable and returns nil. If no command is specified, removes all tracing for that variable and returns an array containing the commands actually removed.

Adds DidYouMean functionality to an error using a given spell checker

Returns whether or not the given entry point func can be found within lib. If func is nil, the main() entry point is used by default. If found, it adds the library to list of libraries to be used when linking your extension.

If headers are provided, it will include those header files as the header files it looks in when searching for func.

The real name of the library to be linked can be altered by --with-FOOlib configuration option.

Returns whether or not the entry point func can be found within the library lib in one of the paths specified, where paths is an array of strings. If func is nil , then the main() function is used as the entry point.

If lib is found, then the path it was found on is added to the list of library paths searched and linked against.

How String Gem paths should be split. Overridable for esoteric platforms.

Changes the parameters of the deflate stream to allow changes between different types of data that require different types of compression. Any unprocessed data is flushed before changing the params.

See Zlib::Deflate.new for a description of level and strategy.

Ensure path and path with extension are identical.

Returns true if URI is hierarchical.

Description

URI has components listed in order of decreasing significance from left to right, see RFC3986 tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 1.2.3.

Usage

require 'uri'

uri = URI.parse("http://my.example.com/")
uri.hierarchical?
#=> true
uri = URI.parse("mailto:joe@example.com")
uri.hierarchical?
#=> false

Checks if URI has a path. For URI::LDAP this will return false.

Set all the parameters.

Returns the size of optional parameters.

tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook')
method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs')
puts method.size_opt_params # => 4

Specifies a character to be appended on completion. Nothing will be appended if an empty string (“”) or nil is specified.

For example:

require "readline"

Readline.readline("> ", true)
Readline.completion_append_character = " "

Result:

>
Input "/var/li".

> /var/li
Press TAB key.

> /var/lib
Completes "b" and appends " ". So, you can continuously input "/usr".

> /var/lib /usr

NOTE: Only one character can be specified. When “string” is specified, sets only “s” that is the first.

require "readline"

Readline.completion_append_character = "string"
p Readline.completion_append_character # => "s"

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Returns a string containing a character to be appended on completion. The default is a space (“ ”).

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

When called during a completion (e.g. from within your completion_proc), it will return a string containing the character used to quote the argument being completed, or nil if the argument is unquoted.

When called at other times, it will always return nil.

Note that Readline.completer_quote_characters must be set, or this method will always return nil.

Sets a list of quote characters which can cause a word break.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Gets a list of quote characters which can cause a word break.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Sets a list of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the line. Completion occurs on the entire substring, and within the substring Readline.completer_word_break_characters are treated as any other character, unless they also appear within this list.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Gets a list of characters which can be used to quote a substring of the line.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Sets a list of characters that cause a filename to be quoted by the completer when they appear in a completed filename. The default is nil.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Gets a list of characters that cause a filename to be quoted by the completer when they appear in a completed filename.

Raises NotImplementedError if the using readline library does not support.

Generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number in the range 0…range.
