Returns the size of the buffer string.
Truncates the buffer string to at most integer bytes. The stream must be opened for writing.
Sets the scan pointer to the end of the string and clear matching data.
Returns the byte position of the scan pointer. In the ‘reset’ position, this value is zero. In the ‘terminated’ position (i.e. the string is exhausted), this value is the bytesize of the string.
In short, it’s a 0-based index into bytes of the string.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.pos # -> 0 s.scan_until /str/ # -> "test str" s.pos # -> 8 s.terminate # -> #<StringScanner fin> s.pos # -> 11
Sets the byte position of the scan pointer.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.pos = 7 # -> 7 s.rest # -> "ring"
Looks ahead to see if the pattern exists anywhere in the string, without advancing the scan pointer. This predicates whether a scan_until will return a value.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.exist? /s/ # -> 3 s.scan /test/ # -> "test" s.exist? /s/ # -> 2 s.exist? /e/ # -> nil
Returns true if and only if there is more data in the string. See eos?. This method is obsolete; use eos? instead.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.eos? # These two s.rest? # are opposites.
Returns the “rest” of the string (i.e. everything after the scan pointer). If there is no more data (eos? = true), it returns "".
s.restsize is equivalent to s.rest_size. This method is obsolete; use rest_size instead.
Returns a string that represents the StringScanner object, showing:
the current position
the size of the string
the characters surrounding the scan pointer
s = StringScanner.new(“Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39”) s.inspect # -> ‘#<StringScanner 0/21 @ “Fri D…”>’ s.scan_until /12/ # -> “Fri Dec 12” s.inspect # -> ‘#<StringScanner 10/21 “…ec 12” @ “ 1975…”>’
Runs OLE method. The first argument specifies the method name of OLE Automation object. The others specify argument of the method. If you can not execute method directly, then use this method instead.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel.invoke('Quit') # => same as excel.Quit
Runs the early binding method. The 1st argument specifies dispatch ID, the 2nd argument specifies the array of arguments, the 3rd argument specifies the array of the type of arguments.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') excel._invoke(302, [], []) # same effect as excel.Quit
Returns the method name with class name.
Returns true if the parameter is input.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'Workbook') method = WIN32OLE_METHOD.new(tobj, 'SaveAs') param1 = method.params[0] puts param1.input? # => true
Returns the parameter name with class name. If the parameter has default value, then returns name=value string with class name.
Returns the OLE struct name and member name and the value of member
If COM server in VB.NET ComServer project is the following:
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
Public Class ComClass
<MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.BStr)> _
Public title As String
Public cost As Integer
End Class
then
srver = WIN32OLE.new('ComServer.ComClass') obj = WIN32OLE_RECORD.new('Book', server) obj.inspect # => <WIN32OLE_RECORD(ComClass) {"title" => nil, "cost" => nil}>
Returns number which represents type.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Word 10.0 Object Library', 'Documents') puts tobj.typekind # => 4
Returns array of WIN32OLE_VARIABLE objects which represent variables defined in OLE class.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType') vars = tobj.variables vars.each do |v| puts "#{v.name} = #{v.value}" end The result of above sample script is follows: xlChart = -4109 xlDialogSheet = -4116 xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet = 4 xlExcel4MacroSheet = 3 xlWorksheet = -4167
Returns the type name with class name.
ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application')
ie.ole_type.inspect => #<WIN32OLE_TYPE:IWebBrowser2>
Returns the type library name with class name.
tlib = WIN32OLE_TYPELIB.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library') tlib.inspect # => "<#WIN32OLE_TYPELIB:Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library>"
Returns the number which represents variable kind.
tobj = WIN32OLE_TYPE.new('Microsoft Excel 9.0 Object Library', 'XlSheetType')
variables = tobj.variables
variables.each do |variable|
puts "#{variable.name} #{variable.varkind}"
end
The result of above script is following:
xlChart 2
xlDialogSheet 2
xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet 2
xlExcel4MacroSheet 2
xlWorksheet 2
Returns the OLE variable name and the value with class name.
Returns a new String containing the hash entries:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.inspect # => "{:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}"
Hash#to_s is an alias for Hash#inspect.
Hash#store is an alias for Hash#[]=.
Associates the given value with the given key; returns value.
If the given key exists, replaces its value with the given value; the ordering is not affected (see Entry Order):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1} h[:foo] = 2 # => 2 h.store(:bar, 3) # => 3 h # => {:foo=>2, :bar=>3}
If key does not exist, adds the key and value; the new entry is last in the order (see Entry Order):
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1} h[:baz] = 2 # => 2 h.store(:bat, 3) # => 3 h # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2, :bat=>3}
Returns the count of entries in self:
{foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2}.length # => 3
Hash#length is an alias for Hash#size.
