Returns a copy of self with Unicode normalization applied.
Argument form must be one of the following symbols (see Unicode normalization forms):
:nfc: Canonical decomposition, followed by canonical composition.
:nfd: Canonical decomposition.
:nfkc: Compatibility decomposition, followed by canonical composition.
:nfkd: Compatibility decomposition.
The encoding of self must be one of:
Encoding::UTF_8
Encoding::UTF_16BE
Encoding::UTF_16LE
Encoding::UTF_32BE
Encoding::UTF_32LE
Encoding::GB18030
Encoding::UCS_2BE
Encoding::UCS_4BE
Examples:
"a\u0300".unicode_normalize # => "a" "\u00E0".unicode_normalize(:nfd) # => "a "

Like String#unicode_normalize, except that the normalization is performed on self.
Related String#unicode_normalized?.
Returns true if self is in the given form of Unicode normalization, false otherwise. The form must be one of :nfc, :nfd, :nfkc, or :nfkd.
Examples:
"a\u0300".unicode_normalized? # => false "a\u0300".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) # => true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized? # => true "\u00E0".unicode_normalized?(:nfd) # => false
Raises an exception if self is not in a Unicode encoding:
s = "\xE0".force_encoding('ISO-8859-1') s.unicode_normalized? # Raises Encoding::CompatibilityError.

Returns the locale charmap name. It returns nil if no appropriate information.
Debian GNU/Linux LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "ANSI_X3.4-1968" LANG=ja_JP.EUC-JP Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "EUC-JP" SunOS 5 LANG=C Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "646" LANG=ja Encoding.locale_charmap #=> "eucJP"
The result is highly platform dependent. So Encoding.find(Encoding.locale_charmap) may cause an error. If you need some encoding object even for unknown locale, Encoding.find(“locale”) can be used.
With no argument, returns the value of $!, which is the result of the most recent pattern match (see Regexp global variables):
/c(.)t/ =~ 'cat' # => 0 Regexp.last_match # => #<MatchData "cat" 1:"a"> /a/ =~ 'foo' # => nil Regexp.last_match # => nil
With non-negative integer argument n, returns the _n_th field in the matchdata, if any, or nil if none:
/c(.)t/ =~ 'cat' # => 0 Regexp.last_match(0) # => "cat" Regexp.last_match(1) # => "a" Regexp.last_match(2) # => nil
With negative integer argument n, counts backwards from the last field:
Regexp.last_match(-1) # => "a"
With string or symbol argument name, returns the string value for the named capture, if any:
/(?<lhs>\w+)\s*=\s*(?<rhs>\w+)/ =~ 'var = val' Regexp.last_match # => #<MatchData "var = val" lhs:"var"rhs:"val"> Regexp.last_match(:lhs) # => "var" Regexp.last_match('rhs') # => "val" Regexp.last_match('foo') # Raises IndexError.
Returns true for IPv4-mapped IPv6 address (::ffff:0:0/80). It returns false otherwise.
Returns the size of the most recent match in bytes, or nil if there was no recent match. This is different than matched.size, which will return the size in characters.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.check /\w+/ # -> "test" s.matched_size # -> 4 s.check /\d+/ # -> nil s.matched_size # -> nil
Returns the pre-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Returns the post-match
(in the regular expression sense) of the last scan.s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.scan(/\w+/) # -> "test" s.scan(/\s+/) # -> " " s.pre_match # -> "test" s.post_match # -> "string"
Serialization support for the object returned by _getobj_.
Reinitializes delegation from a serialized object.
Creates a new compiler for ERB. See ERB::Compiler.new for details
Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address.
Sets the date-time format.
Argument datetime_format should be either of these:
A string suitable for use as a format for method Time#strftime.
nil: the logger uses '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%6N'.
Returns the date-time format; see datetime_format=.
Creates an option from the given parameters params. See Parameters for New Options.
The block, if given, is the handler for the created option. When the option is encountered during command-line parsing, the block is called with the argument given for the option, if any. See Option Handlers.
Returns the length (in characters) of the matched substring corresponding to the given argument.
When non-negative argument n is given, returns the length of the matched substring for the nth match:
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)(\w)?/.match("THX1138.") # => #<MatchData "HX1138" 1:"H" 2:"X" 3:"113" 4:"8" 5:nil> m.match_length(0) # => 6 m.match_length(4) # => 1 m.match_length(5) # => nil
When string or symbol argument name is given, returns the length of the matched substring for the named match:
m = /(?<foo>.)(.)(?<bar>.+)/.match("hoge") # => #<MatchData "hoge" foo:"h" bar:"ge"> m.match_length('foo') # => 1 m.match_length(:bar) # => 2
Returns the substring of the target string from its beginning up to the first match in self (that is, self[0]); equivalent to regexp global variable $`:
m = /(.)(.)(\d+)(\d)/.match("THX1138.") # => #<MatchData "HX1138" 1:"H" 2:"X" 3:"113" 4:"8"> m[0] # => "HX1138" m.pre_match # => "T"
