Returns a DateTime object which denotes self.

Returns true for IPv4-compatible IPv6 address (::/80). It returns false otherwise.

Calls WIN32OLE#invoke method.

Returns the array of WIN32OLE::Method object. The element is OLE method of WIN32OLE object.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
methods = excel.ole_methods

Returns WIN32OLE::Method object corresponding with method specified by 1st argument.

excel = WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
method = excel.ole_method_help('Quit')

Invoked by Ruby when obj is sent a message it cannot handle. symbol is the symbol for the method called, and args are any arguments that were passed to it. By default, the interpreter raises an error when this method is called. However, it is possible to override the method to provide more dynamic behavior. If it is decided that a particular method should not be handled, then super should be called, so that ancestors can pick up the missing method. The example below creates a class Roman, which responds to methods with names consisting of roman numerals, returning the corresponding integer values.

class Roman
  def roman_to_int(str)
    # ...
  end

  def method_missing(symbol, *args)
    str = symbol.id2name
    begin
      roman_to_int(str)
    rescue
      super(symbol, *args)
    end
  end
end

r = Roman.new
r.iv      #=> 4
r.xxiii   #=> 23
r.mm      #=> 2000
r.foo     #=> NoMethodError

Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ public methods.

Returns the methods available to this delegate object as the union of this object’s and _getobj_ protected methods.

Define methodname as instance method of mod from compiled Ruby source.

example:

filename = 'example.rhtml'   # 'arg1' and 'arg2' are used in example.rhtml
erb = ERB.new(File.read(filename))
erb.def_method(MyClass, 'render(arg1, arg2)', filename)
print MyClass.new.render('foo', 123)

Returns true if the ipaddr is an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.

Returns a new ipaddr built by converting the native IPv4 address into an IPv4-compatible IPv6 address.

Returns additional info.

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 a Method of superclass which would be called when super is used or nil if there is no method on superclass.

Returns a Method of superclass which would be called when super is used or nil if there is no method on superclass.

Return the name at the definition of the method being called

Returns garbage collector generation for the given object.

class B
  include ObjectSpace

  def foo
    trace_object_allocations do
      obj = Object.new
      p "Generation is #{allocation_generation(obj)}"
    end
  end
end

B.new.foo #=> "Generation is 3"

See ::trace_object_allocations for more information and examples.

Parse a YAML string in yaml. Returns the Psych::Nodes::Stream. This method can handle multiple YAML documents contained in yaml. filename is used in the exception message if a Psych::SyntaxError is raised.

If a block is given, a Psych::Nodes::Document node will be yielded to the block as it’s being parsed.

Raises a Psych::SyntaxError when a YAML syntax error is detected.

Example:

Psych.parse_stream("---\n - a\n - b") # => #<Psych::Nodes::Stream:0x00>

Psych.parse_stream("--- a\n--- b") do |node|
  node # => #<Psych::Nodes::Document:0x00>
end

begin
  Psych.parse_stream("--- `", filename: "file.txt")
rescue Psych::SyntaxError => ex
  ex.file    # => 'file.txt'
  ex.message # => "(file.txt): found character that cannot start any token"
end

Raises a TypeError when NilClass is passed.

See Psych::Nodes for more information about YAML AST.

Glob pattern for require-able path suffixes.

The path to standard location of the user’s data directory.

The path to standard location of the user’s state directory.

Returns true if the contents of streams a and b are identical, false otherwise.

Arguments a and b should be interpretable as a path.
