Returns a string which represents the time as a dateTime defined by XML Schema:
CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssTZD
where TZD is Z or [+-]hh:mm.
If self is a UTC time, Z is used as TZD. [+-]hh:mm is used otherwise.
fraction_digits
specifies a number of digits to use for fractional seconds. Its default value is 0.
require 'time' t = Time.now t.iso8601 # => "2011-10-05T22:26:12-04:00"
You must require ‘time’ to use this method.
Reads and returns a character in raw mode.
See IO#raw
for details on the parameters.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Enables/disables echo back. On some platforms, all combinations of this flags and raw/cooked mode may not be valid.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Yields self
with disabling echo back.
STDIN.noecho(&:gets)
will read and return a line without echo back.
You must require ‘io/console’ to use this method.
Calls the block with each successive line read from the stream.
When called from class IO (but not subclasses of IO), this method has potential security vulnerabilities if called with untrusted input; see Command Injection.
The first argument must be a string that is the path to a file.
With only argument path
given, parses lines from the file at the given path
, as determined by the default line separator, and calls the block with each successive line:
File.foreach('t.txt') {|line| p line }
Output: the same as above.
For both forms, command and path, the remaining arguments are the same.
With argument sep
given, parses lines as determined by that line separator (see Line Separator):
File.foreach('t.txt', 'li') {|line| p line }
Output:
"First li" "ne\nSecond li" "ne\n\nThird li" "ne\nFourth li" "ne\n"
Each paragraph:
File.foreach('t.txt', '') {|paragraph| p paragraph }
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\n" "Third line\nFourth line\n"
With argument limit
given, parses lines as determined by the default line separator and the given line-length limit (see Line Separator and Line Limit):
File.foreach('t.txt', 7) {|line| p line }
Output:
"First l" "ine\n" "Second " "line\n" "\n" "Third l" "ine\n" "Fourth l" "line\n"
With arguments sep
and limit
given, combines the two behaviors (see Line Separator and Line Limit).
Optional keyword arguments opts
specify:
Encoding options.
Returns an Enumerator
if no block is given.
Calls the block with each remaining line read from the stream; returns self
. Does nothing if already at end-of-stream; See Line IO.
With no arguments given, reads lines as determined by line separator $/
:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line {|line| p line } f.each_line {|line| fail 'Cannot happen' } f.close
Output:
"First line\n" "Second line\n" "\n" "Fourth line\n" "Fifth line\n"
With only string argument sep
given, reads lines as determined by line separator sep
; see Line Separator:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line('li') {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First li" "ne\nSecond li" "ne\n\nFourth li" "ne\nFifth li" "ne\n"
The two special values for sep
are honored:
f = File.new('t.txt') # Get all into one string. f.each_line(nil) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\nFourth line\nFifth line\n" f.rewind # Get paragraphs (up to two line separators). f.each_line('') {|line| p line }
Output:
"First line\nSecond line\n\n" "Fourth line\nFifth line\n"
With only integer argument limit
given, limits the number of bytes in each line; see Line Limit:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line(8) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First li" "ne\n" "Second l" "ine\n" "\n" "Fourth l" "ine\n" "Fifth li" "ne\n"
With arguments sep
and limit
given, combines the two behaviors (see Line Separator and Line Limit).
Optional keyword argument chomp
specifies whether line separators are to be omitted:
f = File.new('t.txt') f.each_line(chomp: true) {|line| p line } f.close
Output:
"First line" "Second line" "" "Fourth line" "Fifth line"
Returns an Enumerator
if no block is given.
Reads and returns the next 1-character string from the stream; raises EOFError
if already at end-of-stream. See Character IO.
f = File.open('t.txt') f.readchar # => "F" f.close f = File.open('t.rus') f.readchar.ord # => 1090 f.close
With a block given, passes each element of self
to the block:
a = [] (1..4).each {|element| a.push(element) } # => 1..4 a # => [1, 2, 3, 4]
Raises an exception unless self.first.respond_to?(:succ)
.
With no block given, returns an enumerator.
With no block given, returns the MatchData
object that describes the match, if any, or nil
if none; the search begins at the given character offset
in string
:
/abra/.match('abracadabra') # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 4) # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) # => nil /abra/.match('abracadabra', 800) # => nil string = "\u{5d0 5d1 5e8 5d0}cadabra" /abra/.match(string, 7) #=> #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match(string, 8) #=> nil /abra/.match(string.b, 8) #=> #<MatchData "abra">
With a block given, calls the block if and only if a match is found; returns the block’s value:
/abra/.match('abracadabra') {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 4) {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => #<MatchData "abra"> /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) {|matchdata| p matchdata } # => nil /abra/.match('abracadabra', 8) {|marchdata| fail 'Cannot happen' } # => nil
Output (from the first two blocks above):
#<MatchData "abra"> #<MatchData "abra"> /(.)(.)(.)/.match("abc")[2] # => "b" /(.)(.)/.match("abc", 1)[2] # => "c"
Returns true
or false
to indicate whether the regexp is matched or not without updating $~ and other related variables. If the second parameter is present, it specifies the position in the string to begin the search.
/R.../.match?("Ruby") # => true /R.../.match?("Ruby", 1) # => false /P.../.match?("Ruby") # => false $& # => nil
Calls the given block once for each element in the set, passing the element as parameter. Returns an enumerator if no block is given.
Calls the given block with the value of each member; returns self
:
Customer = Struct.new(:name, :address, :zip) joe = Customer.new("Joe Smith", "123 Maple, Anytown NC", 12345) joe.each {|value| p value }
Output:
"Joe Smith" "123 Maple, Anytown NC" 12345
Returns an Enumerator
if no block is given.

, including possible updates to global variables; see String#match

Equivalent to sym.to_s.match?
; see String#match
.
Returns the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive) as an array of Pathname
objects.
By default, the returned pathnames will have enough information to access the files. If you set with_directory
to false
, then the returned pathnames will contain the filename only.
For example:
pn = Pathname("/usr/lib/ruby/1.8") pn.children # -> [ Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/English.rb, Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/Env.rb, Pathname:/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/abbrev.rb, ... ] pn.children(false) # -> [ Pathname:English.rb, Pathname:Env.rb, Pathname:abbrev.rb, ... ]
Note that the results never contain the entries .
and ..
in the directory because they are not children.
