Deletes leading prefix from str, returning nil if no change was made.
"hello".delete_prefix!("hel") #=> "lo" "hello".delete_prefix!("llo") #=> nil
Deletes trailing suffix from str, returning nil if no change was made.
"hello".delete_suffix!("llo") #=> "he" "hello".delete_suffix!("hel") #=> nil
Passes each byte in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.
"hello".each_byte {|c| print c, ' ' }
produces:
104 101 108 108 111
Passes each character in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given.
"hello".each_char {|c| print c, ' ' }
produces:
h e l l o
Returns true for a string which has only ASCII characters.
"abc".force_encoding("UTF-8").ascii_only? #=> true "abc\u{6666}".force_encoding("UTF-8").ascii_only? #=> false
Unicode Normalization—Returns a normalized form of str, using Unicode normalizations NFC, NFD, NFKC, or NFKD. The normalization form used is determined by form, which can be any of the four values :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd. The default is :nfc.
If the string is not in a Unicode Encoding, then an Exception is raised. In this context, ‘Unicode Encoding’ means any of UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE, and UTF-32BE/LE, as well as GB18030, UCS_2BE, and UCS_4BE. Anything other than UTF-8 is implemented by converting to UTF-8, which makes it slower than UTF-8.
"a\u0300".unicode_normalize #=> "\u00E0" "a\u0300".unicode_normalize(:nfc) #=> "\u00E0" "\u00E0".unicode_normalize(:nfd) #=> "a\u0300" "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1').unicode_normalize(:nfd) #=> Encoding::CompatibilityError raised
Destructive version of String#unicode_normalize, doing Unicode normalization in place.
Checks whether str is in Unicode normalization form form, which can be any of the four values :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd. The default is :nfc.
If the string is not in a Unicode Encoding, then an Exception is raised. For details, see String#unicode_normalize.
"a\u0300".unicode_normalized? #=> false "a\u0300".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) #=> true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized? #=> true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) #=> false "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1').unicode_normalized? #=> Encoding::CompatibilityError raised
Passes each grapheme cluster in str to the given block, or returns an enumerator if no block is given. Unlike String#each_char, this enumerates by grapheme clusters defined by Unicode Standard Annex #29 unicode.org/reports/tr29/
"a\u0300".each_char.to_a.size #=> 2 "a\u0300".each_grapheme_cluster.to_a.size #=> 1
Read a chunk or all of the buffer into a string, in the specified encoding. If no encoding is provided Encoding::BINARY is used.
buffer = IO::Buffer.for('test') buffer.get_string # => "test" buffer.get_string(2) # => "st" buffer.get_string(2, 1) # => "s"
Sanitize a single string.
A convenience method to access the values like a Hash
If the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is set, returns it’s value. Otherwise, returns the time that Gem.source_date_epoch_string was first called in the same format as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
NOTE(@duckinator): The implementation is a tad weird because we want to:
1. Make builds reproducible by default, by having this function always return the same result during a given run. 2. Allow changing ENV['SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH'] at runtime, since multiple tests that set this variable will be run in a single process.
If you simplify this function and a lot of tests fail, that is likely due to #2 above.

Returns a status string for the response.
Returns the human readable error string corresponding to the error code retrieved by error.
