With no block, installs a field converter (a Proc).
With a block, defines and installs a custom field converter.
Returns the Array of installed field converters.
Argument converter_name, if given, should be the name of an existing field converter.
See Field Converters.
With no block, installs a field converter:
csv = CSV.new('') csv.convert(:integer) csv.convert(:float) csv.convert(:date) csv.converters # => [:integer, :float, :date]
The block, if given, is called for each field:
Argument field is the field value.
Argument field_info is a CSV::FieldInfo object containing details about the field.
The examples here assume the prior execution of:
string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" path = 't.csv' File.write(path, string)
Example giving a block:
csv = CSV.open(path) csv.convert {|field, field_info| p [field, field_info]; field.upcase } csv.read # => [["FOO", "0"], ["BAR", "1"], ["BAZ", "2"]]
Output:
["foo", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=0, line=1, header=nil>] ["0", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=1, line=1, header=nil>] ["bar", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=0, line=2, header=nil>] ["1", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=1, line=2, header=nil>] ["baz", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=0, line=3, header=nil>] ["2", #<struct CSV::FieldInfo index=1, line=3, header=nil>]
The block need not return a String object:
csv = CSV.open(path) csv.convert {|field, field_info| field.to_sym } csv.read # => [[:foo, :"0"], [:bar, :"1"], [:baz, :"2"]]
If converter_name is given, the block is not called:
csv = CSV.open(path) csv.convert(:integer) {|field, field_info| fail 'Cannot happen' } csv.read # => [["foo", 0], ["bar", 1], ["baz", 2]]
Raises a parse-time exception if converter_name is not the name of a built-in field converter:
csv = CSV.open(path) csv.convert(:nosuch) => [nil] # Raises NoMethodError (undefined method `arity' for nil:NilClass) csv.read
Returns true if the given argument is within self, false otherwise.
With non-range argument object, evaluates with <= and <.
For range self with included end value (#exclude_end? == false), evaluates thus:
self.begin <= object <= self.end
Examples:
r = (1..4) r.cover?(1) # => true r.cover?(4) # => true r.cover?(0) # => false r.cover?(5) # => false r.cover?('foo') # => false r = ('a'..'d') r.cover?('a') # => true r.cover?('d') # => true r.cover?(' ') # => false r.cover?('e') # => false r.cover?(0) # => false
For range r with excluded end value (#exclude_end? == true), evaluates thus:
r.begin <= object < r.end
Examples:
r = (1...4) r.cover?(1) # => true r.cover?(3) # => true r.cover?(0) # => false r.cover?(4) # => false r.cover?('foo') # => false r = ('a'...'d') r.cover?('a') # => true r.cover?('c') # => true r.cover?(' ') # => false r.cover?('d') # => false r.cover?(0) # => false
With range argument range, compares the first and last elements of self and range:
r = (1..4) r.cover?(1..4) # => true r.cover?(0..4) # => false r.cover?(1..5) # => false r.cover?('a'..'d') # => false r = (1...4) r.cover?(1..3) # => true r.cover?(1..4) # => false
If begin and end are numeric, cover? behaves like include?
(1..3).cover?(1.5) # => true (1..3).include?(1.5) # => true
But when not numeric, the two methods may differ:
('a'..'d').cover?('cc') # => true ('a'..'d').include?('cc') # => false
Returns false if either:
The begin value of self is larger than its end value.
An internal call to <=> returns nil; that is, the operands are not comparable.

Detach the process from controlling terminal and run in the background as system daemon. Unless the argument nochdir is true (i.e. non false), it changes the current working directory to the root (“/”). Unless the argument noclose is true, daemon() will redirect standard input, standard output and standard error to /dev/null. Return zero on success, or raise one of Errno::*.
Returns a data represents the current console mode.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Returns the latest release version of RubyGems.
possible opt elements:
hash form: :partial_input => true # source buffer may be part of larger source :after_output => true # stop conversion after output before input integer form: Encoding::Converter::PARTIAL_INPUT Encoding::Converter::AFTER_OUTPUT
possible results:
:invalid_byte_sequence :incomplete_input :undefined_conversion :after_output :destination_buffer_full :source_buffer_empty :finished
primitive_convert converts source_buffer into destination_buffer.
source_buffer should be a string or nil. nil means an empty string.
destination_buffer should be a string.
destination_byteoffset should be an integer or nil. nil means the end of destination_buffer. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
destination_bytesize should be an integer or nil. nil means unlimited. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
opt should be nil, a hash or an integer. nil means no flags. If it is omitted, nil is assumed.
primitive_convert converts the content of source_buffer from beginning and store the result into destination_buffer.
destination_byteoffset and destination_bytesize specify the region which the converted result is stored. destination_byteoffset specifies the start position in destination_buffer in bytes. If destination_byteoffset is nil, destination_buffer.bytesize is used for appending the result. destination_bytesize specifies maximum number of bytes. If destination_bytesize is nil, destination size is unlimited. After conversion, destination_buffer is resized to destination_byteoffset + actually produced number of bytes. Also destination_buffer’s encoding is set to destination_encoding.
primitive_convert drops the converted part of source_buffer. the dropped part is converted in destination_buffer or buffered in Encoding::Converter object.
primitive_convert stops conversion when one of following condition met.
invalid byte sequence found in source buffer (:invalid_byte_sequence) primitive_errinfo and last_error methods returns the detail of the error.
unexpected end of source buffer (:incomplete_input) this occur only when :partial_input is not specified. primitive_errinfo and last_error methods returns the detail of the error.
character not representable in output encoding (:undefined_conversion) primitive_errinfo and last_error methods returns the detail of the error.
after some output is generated, before input is done (:after_output) this occur only when :after_output is specified.
destination buffer is full (:destination_buffer_full) this occur only when destination_bytesize is non-nil.
source buffer is empty (:source_buffer_empty) this occur only when :partial_input is specified.
conversion is finished (:finished)
example:
ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-8", "UTF-16BE") ret = ec.primitive_convert(src="pi", dst="", nil, 100) p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:finished, "", "\x00p\x00i"] ec = Encoding::Converter.new("UTF-8", "UTF-16BE") ret = ec.primitive_convert(src="pi", dst="", nil, 1) p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "i", "\x00"] ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1) p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "", "p"] ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1) p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:destination_buffer_full, "", "\x00"] ret = ec.primitive_convert(src, dst="", nil, 1) p [ret, src, dst] #=> [:finished, "", "i"]
Pushes back erred argument(s) to argv.
Verify internal consistency.
This method is implementation specific. Now this method checks generational consistency if RGenGC is supported.
