Returns current locale id (lcid). The default locale is WIN32OLE::LOCALE_SYSTEM_DEFAULT.
lcid = WIN32OLE.locale
Sets current locale id (lcid).
WIN32OLE.locale = 1033 # set locale English(U.S) obj = WIN32OLE::Variant.new("$100,000", WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_CY)
Equality — At the Object level, == returns true only if obj and other are the same object. Typically, this method is overridden in descendant classes to provide class-specific meaning.
Unlike ==, the equal? method should never be overridden by subclasses as it is used to determine object identity (that is, a.equal?(b) if and only if a is the same object as b):
obj = "a" other = obj.dup obj == other #=> true obj.equal? other #=> false obj.equal? obj #=> true
The eql? method returns true if obj and other refer to the same hash key. This is used by Hash to test members for equality. For any pair of objects where eql? returns true, the hash value of both objects must be equal. So any subclass that overrides eql? should also override hash appropriately.
For objects of class Object, eql? is synonymous with ==. Subclasses normally continue this tradition by aliasing eql? to their overridden == method, but there are exceptions. Numeric types, for example, perform type conversion across ==, but not across eql?, so:
1 == 1.0 #=> true 1.eql? 1.0 #=> false
Returns a new Array containing all values in self:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.values # => [0, 1, 2]
Returns true if value is a value in self, otherwise false.
Returns all environment variable values in an Array:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.values # => ['1', '0']
The order of the values is OS-dependent. See About Ordering.
Returns true if value is the value for some environment variable name, false otherwise:
ENV.replace('foo' => '0', 'bar' => '1') ENV.value?('0') # => true ENV.has_value?('0') # => true ENV.value?('2') # => false ENV.has_value?('2') # => false
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.
Returns the current offset (in bytes) of the current file in ARGF.
ARGF.pos #=> 0 ARGF.gets #=> "This is line one\n" ARGF.pos #=> 17
Evaluates the Ruby expression(s) in string, in the binding’s context. If the optional filename and lineno parameters are present, they will be used when reporting syntax errors.
def get_binding(param) binding end b = get_binding("hello") b.eval("param") #=> "hello"

Get a message from the ractor’s outgoing port, which was put there by Ractor.yield or at ractor’s termination.
r = Ractor.new do Ractor.yield 'explicit yield' 'last value' end puts r.take #=> 'explicit yield' puts r.take #=> 'last value' puts r.take # Ractor::ClosedError (The outgoing-port is already closed)
The fact that the last value is also sent to the outgoing port means that take can be used as an analog of Thread#join (“just wait until ractor finishes”). However, it will raise if somebody has already consumed that message.
If the outgoing port was closed with close_outgoing, the method will raise Ractor::ClosedError.
r = Ractor.new do sleep(500) Ractor.yield 'Hello from ractor' end r.close_outgoing r.take # Ractor::ClosedError (The outgoing-port is already closed) # The error would be raised immediately, not when ractor will try to receive
If an uncaught exception is raised in the Ractor, it is propagated by take as a Ractor::RemoteError.
r = Ractor.new {raise "Something weird happened"} begin r.take rescue => e p e # => #<Ractor::RemoteError: thrown by remote Ractor.> p e.ractor == r # => true p e.cause # => #<RuntimeError: Something weird happened> end
Ractor::ClosedError is a descendant of StopIteration, so the termination of the ractor will break out of any loops that receive this message without propagating the error:
r = Ractor.new do 3.times {|i| Ractor.yield "message #{i}"} "finishing" end loop {puts "Received: " + r.take} puts "Continue successfully"
This will print:
Received: message 0 Received: message 1 Received: message 2 Received: finishing Continue successfully
Basically the same as ::new. However, if class Thread is subclassed, then calling start in that subclass will not invoke the subclass’s initialize method.
Causes the given thread to exit, see also Thread::exit.
count = 0 a = Thread.new { loop { count += 1 } } sleep(0.1) #=> 0 Thread.kill(a) #=> #<Thread:0x401b3d30 dead> count #=> 93947 a.alive? #=> false
Waits for thr to complete, using join, and returns its value or raises the exception which terminated the thread.
a = Thread.new { 2 + 2 } a.value #=> 4 b = Thread.new { raise 'something went wrong' } b.value #=> RuntimeError: something went wrong
Terminates thr and schedules another thread to be run, returning the terminated Thread. If this is the main thread, or the last thread, exits the process.
Returns the status of thr.
"sleep"
Returned if this thread is sleeping or waiting on I/O
"run"
When this thread is executing
"aborting"
If this thread is aborting
false
When this thread is terminated normally
nil
If terminated with an exception.
a = Thread.new { raise("die now") } b = Thread.new { Thread.stop } c = Thread.new { Thread.exit } d = Thread.new { sleep } d.kill #=> #<Thread:0x401b3678 aborting> a.status #=> nil b.status #=> "sleep" c.status #=> false d.status #=> "aborting" Thread.current.status #=> "run"
Returns true if thr is running or sleeping.
thr = Thread.new { } thr.join #=> #<Thread:0x401b3fb0 dead> Thread.current.alive? #=> true thr.alive? #=> false
Returns internal information of TracePoint.
The contents of the returned value are implementation specific. It may be changed in future.
This method is only for debugging TracePoint itself.
Return the tag object which was called for.
Return the return value which was called for.
Yields self to the block, and then returns self. The primary purpose of this method is to “tap into” a method chain, in order to perform operations on intermediate results within the chain.
(1..10) .tap {|x| puts "original: #{x}" } .to_a .tap {|x| puts "array: #{x}" } .select {|x| x.even? } .tap {|x| puts "evens: #{x}" } .map {|x| x*x } .tap {|x| puts "squares: #{x}" }
