Results for: "Array.new"

Called by the TupleSpace to check if the object is still alive.

Reset the expiry time according to sec_or_renewer.

nil

it is set to expire in the far future.

true

it has expired.

Numeric

it will expire in that many seconds.

Otherwise the argument refers to some kind of renewer object which will reset its expiry time.

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.

Returns URL-unescaped string following RFC 3986.

URL-decode a string following RFC 3986 with encoding(optional).

string = CGI.unescape("%27Stop%21%27+said%20Fred")
   # => "'Stop!'+said Fred"

Set all the parameters.

Returns true if the given instance variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Fred
  def initialize(p1, p2)
    @a, @b = p1, p2
  end
end
fred = Fred.new('cat', 99)
fred.instance_variable_defined?(:@a)    #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@b")   #=> true
fred.instance_variable_defined?("@c")   #=> false

Returns true if the given class variable is defined in obj. String arguments are converted to symbols.

class Fred
  @@foo = 99
end
Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@foo)    #=> true
Fred.class_variable_defined?(:@@bar)    #=> false

Returns true if a local variable symbol exists.

def foo
  a = 1
  binding.local_variable_defined?(:a) #=> true
  binding.local_variable_defined?(:b) #=> false
end

This method is the short version of the following code:

binding.eval("defined?(#{symbol}) == 'local-variable'")

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.
