Merges each of other_hashes into self; returns self.
Each argument in other_hashes must be a Hash.
With arguments and no block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged into it.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new entry is added at the end.
Each duplicate-key entry’s value overwrites the previous value.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h.merge!(h1, h2) # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>4, :baz=>2, :bat=>6, :bam=>5}
With arguments and a block:
Returns self, after the given hashes are merged.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new-key entry is added at the end.
For each duplicate key:
Calls the block with the key and the old and new values.
The block’s return value becomes the new value for the entry.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h3 = h.merge!(h1, h2) { |key, old_value, new_value| old_value + new_value } h3 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>5, :baz=>2, :bat=>9, :bam=>5}
With no arguments:
Returns self, unmodified.
The block, if given, is ignored.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.merge # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2} h1 = h.merge! { |key, old_value, new_value| raise 'Cannot happen' } h1 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}
Returns the new Hash formed by merging each of other_hashes into a copy of self.
Each argument in other_hashes must be a Hash.
With arguments and no block:
Returns the new Hash object formed by merging each successive Hash in other_hashes into self.
Each new-key entry is added at the end.
Each duplicate-key entry’s value overwrites the previous value.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h.merge(h1, h2) # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>4, :baz=>2, :bat=>6, :bam=>5}
With arguments and a block:
Returns a new Hash object that is the merge of self and each given hash.
The given hashes are merged left to right.
Each new-key entry is added at the end.
For each duplicate key:
Calls the block with the key and the old and new values.
The block’s return value becomes the new value for the entry.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h1 = {bat: 3, bar: 4} h2 = {bam: 5, bat:6} h3 = h.merge(h1, h2) { |key, old_value, new_value| old_value + new_value } h3 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>5, :baz=>2, :bat=>9, :bam=>5}
With no arguments:
Returns a copy of self.
The block, if given, is ignored.
Example:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.merge # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2} h1 = h.merge { |key, old_value, new_value| raise 'Cannot happen' } h1 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}
Returns a new Array object that is a 1-dimensional flattening of self.
By default, nested Arrays are not flattened:
h = {foo: 0, bar: [:bat, 3], baz: 2} h.flatten # => [:foo, 0, :bar, [:bat, 3], :baz, 2]
Takes the depth of recursive flattening from Integer argument level:
h = {foo: 0, bar: [:bat, [:baz, [:bat, ]]]} h.flatten(1) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, [:bat, [:baz, [:bat]]]] h.flatten(2) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, :bat, [:baz, [:bat]]] h.flatten(3) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, :bat, :baz, [:bat]] h.flatten(4) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, :bat, :baz, :bat]
When level is negative, flattens all nested Arrays:
h = {foo: 0, bar: [:bat, [:baz, [:bat, ]]]} h.flatten(-1) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, :bat, :baz, :bat] h.flatten(-2) # => [:foo, 0, :bar, :bat, :baz, :bat]
When level is zero, returns the equivalent of to_a :
h = {foo: 0, bar: [:bat, 3], baz: 2} h.flatten(0) # => [[:foo, 0], [:bar, [:bat, 3]], [:baz, 2]] h.flatten(0) == h.to_a # => true
Returns a copy of self with all nil-valued entries removed:
h = {foo: 0, bar: nil, baz: 2, bat: nil} h1 = h.compact h1 # => {:foo=>0, :baz=>2}
Returns self with all its nil-valued entries removed (in place):
h = {foo: 0, bar: nil, baz: 2, bat: nil} h.compact! # => {:foo=>0, :baz=>2}
Returns nil if no entries were removed.
Returns true if key is a key in self, otherwise false.
Adds to ENV each key/value pair in the given hash; returns ENV:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.merge!('baz' => '2', 'bat' => '3') # => {"bar"=>"1", "bat"=>"3", "baz"=>"2", "foo"=>"0"}
Deletes the ENV entry for a hash value that is nil:
ENV.merge!('baz' => nil, 'bat' => nil) # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
For an already-existing name, if no block given, overwrites the ENV value:
ENV.merge!('foo' => '4') # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"4"}
For an already-existing name, if block given, yields the name, its ENV value, and its hash value; the block’s return value becomes the new name:
ENV.merge!('foo' => '5') { |name, env_val, hash_val | env_val + hash_val } # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"45"}
Raises an exception if a name or value is invalid (see Invalid Names and Values);
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.merge!('foo' => '6', :bar => '7', 'baz' => '9') # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Symbol into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"6"} ENV.merge!('foo' => '7', 'bar' => 8, 'baz' => '9') # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Integer into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"7"}
Raises an exception if the block returns an invalid name: (see Invalid Names and Values):
ENV.merge!('bat' => '8', 'foo' => '9') { |name, env_val, hash_val | 10 } # Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Integer into String) ENV # => {"bar"=>"1", "bat"=>"8", "foo"=>"7"}
Note that for the exceptions above, hash pairs preceding an invalid name or value are processed normally; those following are ignored.

Note that for the exceptions above, hash pairs preceding an invalid name or value are processed normally; those following are ignored.
Returns the count of environment variables:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.length # => 2 ENV.size # => 2
Returns true if there is an environment variable with the given name:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.include?('foo') # => true
Returns false if name is a valid String and there is no such environment variable:
ENV.include?('baz') # => false
Returns false if name is the empty String or is a String containing character '=':
ENV.include?('') # => false ENV.include?('=') # => false
Raises an exception if name is a String containing the NUL character "\0":
ENV.include?("\0") # Raises ArgumentError (bad environment variable name: contains null byte)
Raises an exception if name has an encoding that is not ASCII-compatible:
ENV.include?("\xa1\xa1".force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_16LE)) # Raises ArgumentError (bad environment variable name: ASCII incompatible encoding: UTF-16LE)
Raises an exception if name is not a String:
ENV.include?(Object.new) # TypeError (no implicit conversion of Object into String)
Reads at most maxlen bytes from the ARGF stream.
If the optional outbuf argument is present, it must reference a String, which will receive the data. The outbuf will contain only the received data after the method call even if it is not empty at the beginning.
It raises EOFError on end of ARGF stream. Since ARGF stream is a concatenation of multiple files, internally EOF is occur for each file. ARGF.readpartial returns empty strings for EOFs except the last one and raises EOFError for the last one.
Argument csv_string, if given, must be a String object; defaults to a new empty String.
Arguments options, if given, should be generating options. See Options for Generating.
Creates a new CSV object via CSV.new(csv_string, **options); calls the block with the CSV object, which the block may modify; returns the String generated from the CSV object.
Note that a passed String is modified by this method. Pass csv_string.dup if the String must be preserved.
This method has one additional option: :encoding, which sets the base Encoding for the output if no no str is specified. CSV needs this hint if you plan to output non-ASCII compatible data.
Add lines:
input_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" output_string = CSV.generate(input_string) do |csv| csv << ['bat', 3] csv << ['bam', 4] end output_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\nbat,3\nbam,4\n" input_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\nbat,3\nbam,4\n" output_string.equal?(input_string) # => true # Same string, modified
Add lines into new string, preserving old string:
input_string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" output_string = CSV.generate(input_string.dup) do |csv| csv << ['bat', 3] csv << ['bam', 4] end output_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\nbat,3\nbam,4\n" input_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" output_string.equal?(input_string) # => false # Different strings
Create lines from nothing:
output_string = CSV.generate do |csv| csv << ['foo', 0] csv << ['bar', 1] csv << ['baz', 2] end output_string # => "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n"
Raises an exception if csv_string is not a String object:
# Raises TypeError (no implicit conversion of Integer into String) CSV.generate(0)
Parses string or io using the specified options.
Argument string should be a String object; it will be put into a new StringIO object positioned at the beginning.
Argument io should be an IO object that is:
Open for reading; on return, the IO object will be closed.
Positioned at the beginning. To position at the end, for appending, use method CSV.generate. For any other positioning, pass a preset StringIO object instead.
Argument options: see Options for Parsing
headers Without {option headers} case.
These examples assume prior execution of:
string = "foo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" path = 't.csv' File.write(path, string)
With no block given, returns an Array of Arrays formed from the source.
Parse a String:
a_of_a = CSV.parse(string) a_of_a # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"]]
Parse an open File:
a_of_a = File.open(path) do |file| CSV.parse(file) end a_of_a # => [["foo", "0"], ["bar", "1"], ["baz", "2"]]
With a block given, calls the block with each parsed row:
Parse a String:
CSV.parse(string) {|row| p row }
Output:
["foo", "0"] ["bar", "1"] ["baz", "2"]
Parse an open File:
File.open(path) do |file| CSV.parse(file) {|row| p row } end
Output:
["foo", "0"] ["bar", "1"] ["baz", "2"]
headers With {option headers} case.
These examples assume prior execution of:
string = "Name,Count\nfoo,0\nbar,1\nbaz,2\n" path = 't.csv' File.write(path, string)
With no block given, returns a CSV::Table object formed from the source.
Parse a String:
csv_table = CSV.parse(string, headers: ['Name', 'Count']) csv_table # => #<CSV::Table mode:col_or_row row_count:5>
Parse an open File:
csv_table = File.open(path) do |file| CSV.parse(file, headers: ['Name', 'Count']) end csv_table # => #<CSV::Table mode:col_or_row row_count:4>
With a block given, calls the block with each parsed row, which has been formed into a CSV::Row object:
Parse a String:
CSV.parse(string, headers: ['Name', 'Count']) {|row| p row }
Output:
# <CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Count":"0"> # <CSV::Row "Name":"bar" "Count":"1"> # <CSV::Row "Name":"baz" "Count":"2">
Parse an open File:
File.open(path) do |file| CSV.parse(file, headers: ['Name', 'Count']) {|row| p row } end
Output:
# <CSV::Row "Name":"foo" "Count":"0"> # <CSV::Row "Name":"bar" "Count":"1"> # <CSV::Row "Name":"baz" "Count":"2">
Raises an exception if the argument is not a String object or IO object:
# Raises NoMethodError (undefined method `close' for :foo:Symbol) CSV.parse(:foo)
Sets optional filename and line number that will be used in ERB code evaluation and error reporting. See also filename= and lineno=
erb = ERB.new('<%= some_x %>') erb.render # undefined local variable or method `some_x' # from (erb):1 erb.location = ['file.erb', 3] # All subsequent error reporting would use new location erb.render # undefined local variable or method `some_x' # from file.erb:4
Returns true if the ipaddr is a private address. IPv4 addresses in 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16 as defined in RFC 1918 and IPv6 Unique Local Addresses in fc00::/7 as defined in RFC 4193 are considered private. Private IPv4 addresses in the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address range are also considered private.
Returns true if the log level allows entries with severity Logger::FATAL to be written, false otherwise. See Log Level.
Sets the log level to Logger::FATAL. See Log Level.
Equivalent to calling add with severity Logger::FATAL.
Initializes a new instance and evaluates the optional block in context of the instance. Arguments args are passed to new, see there for description of parameters.
This method is deprecated, its behavior corresponds to the older new method.
Parses command line arguments argv in order when environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, and in permutation mode otherwise. When optional into keyword argument is provided, the parsed option values are stored there via []= method (so it can be Hash, or OpenStruct, or other similar object).
Same as parse, but removes switches destructively. Non-option arguments remain in argv.
Parses environment variable env or its uppercase with splitting like a shell.
env defaults to the basename of the program.
