Checks the status of the child process specified by pid. Returns nil if the process is still alive.
If the process is not alive, and raise was true, a PTY::ChildExited exception will be raised. Otherwise it will return a Process::Status instance.
pid
The process id of the process to check
raise
If true and the process identified by pid is no longer alive a PTY::ChildExited is raised.
iterates over the list of Addrinfo objects obtained by Addrinfo.getaddrinfo.
Addrinfo.foreach(nil, 80) {|x| p x } #=> #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 TCP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: 127.0.0.1:80 UDP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 TCP (:80)> # #<Addrinfo: [::1]:80 UDP (:80)>
Calls the block with each remaining line read from the stream; does nothing if already at end-of-file; returns self. See Line IO.
Returns the character position of the scan pointer. In the ‘reset’ position, this value is zero. In the ‘terminated’ position (i.e. the string is exhausted), this value is the size of the string.
In short, it’s a 0-based index into the string.
s = StringScanner.new("abc\u00e4def\u00f6ghi") s.charpos # -> 0 s.scan_until(/\u00e4/) # -> "abc\u00E4" s.pos # -> 5 s.charpos # -> 4
Tests whether the given pattern is matched from the current scan pointer. Returns the length of the match, or nil. The scan pointer is not advanced.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') p s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 p s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 p s.match?("test") # -> 4 p s.match?(/\s+/) # -> nil
This returns the value that scan would return, without advancing the scan pointer. The match register is affected, though.
s = StringScanner.new("Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39") s.check /Fri/ # -> "Fri" s.pos # -> 0 s.matched # -> "Fri" s.check /12/ # -> nil s.matched # -> nil
Mnemonic: it “checks” to see whether a scan will return a value.
Scans one character and returns it. This method is multibyte character sensitive.
s = StringScanner.new("ab") s.getch # => "a" s.getch # => "b" s.getch # => nil s = StringScanner.new("\244\242".force_encoding("euc-jp")) s.getch # => "\x{A4A2}" # Japanese hira-kana "A" in EUC-JP s.getch # => nil
Returns true if and only if the last match was successful.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.match?(/\w+/) # => 4 s.matched? # => true s.match?(/\d+/) # => nil s.matched? # => false
Returns the last matched string.
s = StringScanner.new('test string') s.match?(/\w+/) # -> 4 s.matched # -> "test"
Iterates over each item of OLE collection which has IEnumVARIANT interface.
excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application') book = excel.workbooks.add sheets = book.worksheets(1) cells = sheets.cells("A1:A5") cells.each do |cell| cell.value = 10 end
Returns the value for the given key, if found.
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.fetch(:bar) # => 1
If key is not found and no block was given, returns default_value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch, :default) # => :default
If key is not found and a block was given, yields key to the block and returns the block’s return value:
{}.fetch(:nosuch) {|key| "No key #{key}"} # => "No key nosuch"
Raises KeyError if neither default_value nor a block was given.
Note that this method does not use the values of either default or default_proc.
Calls the given block with each key-value pair; returns self:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} h.each_pair {|key, value| puts "#{key}: #{value}"} # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}
Output:
foo: 0 bar: 1 baz: 2
Returns a new Enumerator if no block given:
h = {foo: 0, bar: 1, baz: 2} e = h.each_pair # => #<Enumerator: {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}:each_pair> h1 = e.each {|key, value| puts "#{key}: #{value}"} h1 # => {:foo=>0, :bar=>1, :baz=>2}
Output:
foo: 0 bar: 1 baz: 2
If name is the name of an environment variable, returns its value:
ENV['foo'] = '0' ENV.fetch('foo') # => '0'
Otherwise if a block is given (but not a default value), yields name to the block and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo') { |name| :need_not_return_a_string } # => :need_not_return_a_string
Otherwise if a default value is given (but not a block), returns the default value:
ENV.delete('foo') ENV.fetch('foo', :default_need_not_be_a_string) # => :default_need_not_be_a_string
If the environment variable does not exist and both default and block are given, issues a warning (“warning: block supersedes default value argument”), yields name to the block, and returns the block’s return value:
ENV.fetch('foo', :default) { |name| :block_return } # => :block_return
Raises KeyError if name is valid, but not found, and neither default value nor block is given:
ENV.fetch('foo') # Raises KeyError (key not found: "foo")
Raises an exception if name is invalid. See Invalid Names and Values.
Yields each environment variable name and its value as a 2-element Array:
h = {} ENV.each_pair { |name, value| h[name] = value } # => ENV h # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
Returns an Enumerator if no block given:
h = {} e = ENV.each_pair # => #<Enumerator: {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}:each_pair> e.each { |name, value| h[name] = value } # => ENV h # => {"bar"=>"1", "foo"=>"0"}
Returns an enumerator which iterates over each line (separated by sep, which defaults to your platform’s newline character) of each file in ARGV. If a block is supplied, each line in turn will be yielded to the block, otherwise an enumerator is returned. The optional limit argument is an Integer specifying the maximum length of each line; longer lines will be split according to this limit.
This method allows you to treat the files supplied on the command line as a single file consisting of the concatenation of each named file. After the last line of the first file has been returned, the first line of the second file is returned. The ARGF.filename and ARGF.lineno methods can be used to determine the filename of the current line and line number of the whole input, respectively.
For example, the following code prints out each line of each named file prefixed with its line number, displaying the filename once per file:
ARGF.each_line do |line| puts ARGF.filename if ARGF.file.lineno == 1 puts "#{ARGF.file.lineno}: #{line}" end
While the following code prints only the first file’s name at first, and the contents with line number counted through all named files.
ARGF.each_line do |line| puts ARGF.filename if ARGF.lineno == 1 puts "#{ARGF.lineno}: #{line}" end
Reads the next character from ARGF and returns it as a String. Raises an EOFError after the last character of the last file has been read.
For example:
$ echo "foo" > file $ ruby argf.rb file ARGF.readchar #=> "f" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "o" ARGF.readchar #=> "\n" ARGF.readchar #=> end of file reached (EOFError)
Returns the matched substring corresponding to the given argument.
When non-negative argument n is given, returns 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(0) # => "HX1138" m.match(4) # => "8" m.match(5) # => nil
When string or symbol argument name is given, returns the matched substring for the given name:
m = /(?<foo>.)(.)(?<bar>.+)/.match("hoge") # => #<MatchData "hoge" foo:"h" bar:"ge"> m.match('foo') # => "h" m.match(:bar) # => "ge"
Like [], except that it accepts a default value for the store. If the key does not exist:
Raises an exception if default is PStore::Error.
Returns the value of default otherwise:
example_store do |store| store.transaction do store.fetch(:nope, nil) # => nil store.fetch(:nope) # Raises an exception. end end
Raises an exception if called outside a transaction block.
Returns a fiber-local for the given key. If the key can’t be found, there are several options: With no other arguments, it will raise a KeyError exception; if default is given, then that will be returned; if the optional code block is specified, then that will be run and its result returned. See Thread#[] and Hash#fetch.
Equivalent to ($_.dup).chop!, except nil is never returned. See String#chop!. Available only when -p/-n command line option specified.
Equivalent to $_ = $_.chomp(string). See String#chomp. Available only when -p/-n command line option specified.
catch executes its block. If throw is not called, the block executes normally, and catch returns the value of the last expression evaluated.
catch(1) { 123 } # => 123
If throw(tag2, val) is called, Ruby searches up its stack for a catch block whose tag has the same object_id as tag2. When found, the block stops executing and returns val (or nil if no second argument was given to throw).
catch(1) { throw(1, 456) } # => 456 catch(1) { throw(1) } # => nil
When tag is passed as the first argument, catch yields it as the parameter of the block.
catch(1) {|x| x + 2 } # => 3
When no tag is given, catch yields a new unique object (as from Object.new) as the block parameter. This object can then be used as the argument to throw, and will match the correct catch block.
catch do |obj_A| catch do |obj_B| throw(obj_B, 123) puts "This puts is not reached" end puts "This puts is displayed" 456 end # => 456 catch do |obj_A| catch do |obj_B| throw(obj_A, 123) puts "This puts is still not reached" end puts "Now this puts is also not reached" 456 end # => 123
Each element in the returned enumerator is a 2-element array consisting of:
A value returned by the block.
An array (“chunk”) containing the element for which that value was returned, and all following elements for which the block returned the same value:
So that:
Each block return value that is different from its predecessor begins a new chunk.
Each block return value that is the same as its predecessor continues the same chunk.
Example:
e = (0..10).chunk {|i| (i / 3).floor } # => #<Enumerator: ...> # The enumerator elements. e.next # => [0, [0, 1, 2]] e.next # => [1, [3, 4, 5]] e.next # => [2, [6, 7, 8]] e.next # => [3, [9, 10]]
Method chunk is especially useful for an enumerable that is already sorted. This example counts words for each initial letter in a large array of words:
# Get sorted words from a web page. url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eneko/data-repository/master/data/words.txt' words = URI::open(url).readlines # Make chunks, one for each letter. e = words.chunk {|word| word.upcase[0] } # => #<Enumerator: ...> # Display 'A' through 'F'. e.each {|c, words| p [c, words.length]; break if c == 'F' }
Output:
["A", 17096] ["B", 11070] ["C", 19901] ["D", 10896] ["E", 8736] ["F", 6860]
You can use the special symbol :_alone to force an element into its own separate chuck:
a = [0, 0, 1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i.even? ? :_alone : true } e.to_a # => [[:_alone, [0]], [:_alone, [0]], [true, [1, 1]]]
For example, you can put each line that contains a URL into its own chunk:
pattern = /http/ open(filename) { |f| f.chunk { |line| line =~ pattern ? :_alone : true }.each { |key, lines| pp lines } }
You can use the special symbol :_separator or nil to force an element to be ignored (not included in any chunk):
a = [0, 0, -1, 1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i < 0 ? :_separator : true } e.to_a # => [[true, [0, 0]], [true, [1, 1]]]
Note that the separator does end the chunk:
a = [0, 0, -1, 1, -1, 1] e = a.chunk{|i| i < 0 ? :_separator : true } e.to_a # => [[true, [0, 0]], [true, [1]], [true, [1]]]
For example, the sequence of hyphens in svn log can be eliminated as follows:
sep = "-"*72 + "\n" IO.popen("svn log README") { |f| f.chunk { |line| line != sep || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines } } #=> ["r20018 | knu | 2008-10-29 13:20:42 +0900 (Wed, 29 Oct 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Update the portability section.\n", # "\n"] # ["r16725 | knu | 2008-05-31 23:34:23 +0900 (Sat, 31 May 2008) | 2 lines\n", # "\n", # "* README, README.ja: Add a note about default C flags.\n", # "\n"] # ...
Paragraphs separated by empty lines can be parsed as follows:
File.foreach("README").chunk { |line| /\A\s*\z/ !~ line || nil }.each { |_, lines| pp lines }
Returns an enumerator object generated from this enumerator and given enumerables.
e = (1..3).chain([4, 5]) e.to_a #=> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
