Reads the entire file specified by name as individual lines, and returns those lines in an array. Lines are separated by sep.
If name starts with a pipe character ("|") and the receiver is the IO class, a subprocess is created in the same way as Kernel#open, and its output is returned. Consider to use File.readlines to disable the behavior of subprocess invocation.
a = File.readlines("testfile") a[0] #=> "This is line one\n" b = File.readlines("testfile", chomp: true) b[0] #=> "This is line one" IO.readlines("|ls -a") #=> [".\n", "..\n", ...]
If the last argument is a hash, it’s the keyword argument to open.
The options hash accepts the following keys:
When the optional chomp keyword argument has a true value, \n, \r, and \r\n will be removed from the end of each line.
See also IO.read for details about name and open_args.
Returns the current line number in ios. The stream must be opened for reading. lineno counts the number of times gets is called rather than the number of newlines encountered. The two values will differ if gets is called with a separator other than newline.
Methods that use $/ like each, lines and readline will also increment lineno.
See also the $. variable.
f = File.new("testfile") f.lineno #=> 0 f.gets #=> "This is line one\n" f.lineno #=> 1 f.gets #=> "This is line two\n" f.lineno #=> 2
Manually sets the current line number to the given value. $. is updated only on the next read.
f = File.new("testfile") f.gets #=> "This is line one\n" $. #=> 1 f.lineno = 1000 f.lineno #=> 1000 $. #=> 1 # lineno of last read f.gets #=> "This is line two\n" $. #=> 1001 # lineno of last read
Reads all of the lines in ios, and returns them in an array. Lines are separated by the optional sep. If sep is nil, the rest of the stream is returned as a single record. If the first argument is an integer, or an optional second argument is given, the returning string would not be longer than the given value in bytes. The stream must be opened for reading or an IOError will be raised.
f = File.new("testfile") f.readlines[0] #=> "This is line one\n" f = File.new("testfile", chomp: true) f.readlines[0] #=> "This is line one"
See IO.readlines for details about getline_args.
Reads up to maxlen bytes from the stream; returns a string (either a new string or the given out_string). Its encoding is:
The unchanged encoding of out_string, if out_string is given.
ASCII-8BIT, otherwise.
Contains maxlen bytes from the stream, if available.
Otherwise contains all available bytes, if any available.
Otherwise is an empty string.
With the single non-negative integer argument maxlen given, returns a new string:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.readpartial(30) # => "This is line one.\nThis is the" f.readpartial(30) # => " second line.\nThis is the thi" f.readpartial(30) # => "rd line.\n" f.eof # => true f.readpartial(30) # Raises EOFError.
With both argument maxlen and string argument out_string given, returns modified out_string:
f = File.new('t.txt') s = 'foo' f.readpartial(30, s) # => "This is line one.\nThis is the" s = 'bar' f.readpartial(0, s) # => ""
This method is useful for a stream such as a pipe, a socket, or a tty. It blocks only when no data is immediately available. This means that it blocks only when all of the following are true:
The byte buffer in the stream is empty.
The content of the stream is empty.
The stream is not at EOF.
When blocked, the method waits for either more data or EOF on the stream:
If more data is read, the method returns the data.
If EOF is reached, the method raises EOFError.
When not blocked, the method responds immediately:
Returns data from the buffer if there is any.
Otherwise returns data from the stream if there is any.
Otherwise raises EOFError if the stream has reached EOF.
Note that this method is similar to sysread. The differences are:
If the byte buffer is not empty, read from the byte buffer instead of “sysread for buffered IO (IOError)”.
It doesn’t cause Errno::EWOULDBLOCK and Errno::EINTR. When readpartial meets EWOULDBLOCK and EINTR by read system call, readpartial retries the system call.
The latter means that readpartial is non-blocking-flag insensitive. It blocks on the situation IO#sysread causes Errno::EWOULDBLOCK as if the fd is blocking mode.
Examples:
# # Returned Buffer Content Pipe Content r, w = IO.pipe # w << 'abc' # "" "abc". r.readpartial(4096) # => "abc" "" "" r.readpartial(4096) # (Blocks because buffer and pipe are empty.) # # Returned Buffer Content Pipe Content r, w = IO.pipe # w << 'abc' # "" "abc" w.close # "" "abc" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # => "abc" "" EOF r.readpartial(4096) # raises EOFError # # Returned Buffer Content Pipe Content r, w = IO.pipe # w << "abc\ndef\n" # "" "abc\ndef\n" r.gets # => "abc\n" "def\n" "" w << "ghi\n" # "def\n" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) # => "def\n" "" "ghi\n" r.readpartial(4096) # => "ghi\n" "" ""
Reads a one-character string from ios. Raises an EOFError on end of file.
f = File.new("testfile") f.readchar #=> "h" f.readchar #=> "e"
Repositions the stream to its beginning, setting both the position and the line number to zero; see Position and Line Number:
f = File.open('t.txt') f.tell # => 0 f.lineno # => 0 f.readline # => "This is line one.\n" f.tell # => 19 f.lineno # => 1 f.rewind # => 0 f.tell # => 0 f.lineno # => 0
Note that this method cannot be used with streams such as pipes, ttys, and sockets.
Removes all elements and returns self.
set = Set[1, 'c', :s] #=> #<Set: {1, "c", :s}> set.clear #=> #<Set: {}> set #=> #<Set: {}>
Deletes every element that appears in the given enumerable object and returns self.
Parses the given Ruby program read from src. src must be a String or an IO or a object with a gets method.
This method is called when weak warning is produced by the parser. fmt and args is printf style.
This method is called when strong warning is produced by the parser. fmt and args is printf style.
Start parsing and returns the value of the root action.
Return line number of current parsing line. This number starts from 1.
Return true if parsed source has errors.
Requests a connection to be made on the given remote_sockaddr. Returns 0 if successful, otherwise an exception is raised.

Returns the remote address as an array which contains address_family, port, hostname and numeric_address. It is defined for connection oriented socket such as TCPSocket.
If reverse_lookup is true or :hostname, hostname is obtained from numeric_address using reverse lookup. Or if it is false, or :numeric, hostname is the same as numeric_address. Or if it is nil or omitted, obeys to ipsocket.do_not_reverse_lookup. See Socket.getaddrinfo also.
