A String
object has an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing text or binary data. A String
object may be created using String::new
or as literals.
String
objects differ from Symbol
objects in that Symbol
objects are designed to be used as identifiers, instead of text or data.
You can create a String
object explicitly with:
-
A string literal.
-
A string literal.
You can convert certain objects to Strings with:
-
Method
String
.
Some String
methods modify self
. Typically, a method whose name ends with !
modifies self
and returns self
; often a similarly named method (without the !
) returns a new string.
In general, if there exist both bang and non-bang version of method, the bang! mutates and the non-bang! does not. However, a method without a bang can also mutate, such as String#replace
.
Substitution Methods
These methods perform substitutions:
-
String#sub
: One substitution (or none); returns a new string. -
String#sub!
: One substitution (or none); returnsself
. -
String#gsub
: Zero or more substitutions; returns a new string. -
String#gsub!
: Zero or more substitutions; returnsself
.
Each of these methods takes:
-
A first argument,
pattern
(string or regexp), that specifies the substring(s) to be replaced. -
Either of these:
-
A second argument,
replacement
(string or hash), that determines the replacing string. -
A block that will determine the replacing string.
-
The examples in this section mostly use methods String#sub
and String#gsub
; the principles illustrated apply to all four substitution methods.
Argument pattern
Argument pattern
is commonly a regular expression:
s = 'hello' s.sub(/[aeiou]/, '*')# => "h*llo" s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*') # => "h*ll*" s.gsub(/[aeiou]/, '')# => "hll" s.sub(/ell/, 'al') # => "halo" s.gsub(/xyzzy/, '*') # => "hello" 'THX1138'.gsub(/\d+/, '00') # => "THX00"
When pattern
is a string, all its characters are treated as ordinary characters (not as regexp special characters):
'THX1138'.gsub('\d+', '00') # => "THX1138"
String
replacement
If replacement
is a string, that string will determine the replacing string that is to be substituted for the matched text.
Each of the examples above uses a simple string as the replacing string.
String
replacement
may contain back-references to the pattern’s captures:
-
\n
(n a non-negative integer) refers to$n
. -
\k<name>
refers to the named capturename
.
See Regexp
for details.
Note that within the string replacement
, a character combination such as $&
is treated as ordinary text, and not as a special match variable. However, you may refer to some special match variables using these combinations:
-
\&
and\0
correspond to$&
, which contains the complete matched text. -
\'
corresponds to$'
, which contains string after match. -
\`
corresponds to$`
, which contains string before match. -
\+
corresponds to$+
, which contains last capture group.
See Regexp
for details.
Note that \\
is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash.
Note also that a string literal consumes backslashes. See string literal for details about string literals.
A back-reference is typically preceded by an additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference \&
in replacement
with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write "..\\&.."
.
If you want to write a non-back-reference string \&
in replacement
, you need first to escape the backslash to prevent this method from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them: "..\\\\&.."
.
You may want to use the block form to avoid a lot of backslashes.
Hash replacement
If argument replacement
is a hash, and pattern
matches one of its keys, the replacing string is the value for that key:
h = {'foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'bat'} 'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "bard"
Note that a symbol key does not match:
h = {foo: 'bar', baz: 'bat'} 'food'.sub('foo', h) # => "d"
Block
In the block form, the current match string is passed to the block; the block’s return value becomes the replacing string:
s = '@' '1234'.gsub(/\d/) {|match| s.succ! } # => "ABCD"
Special match variables such as $1
, $2
, $`
, $&
, and $'
are set appropriately.
Whitespace in Strings
In class String
, whitespace is defined as a contiguous sequence of characters consisting of any mixture of the following:
-
NL (null):
"\x00"
,"\u0000"
. -
HT (horizontal tab):
"\x09"
,"\t"
. -
LF (line feed):
"\x0a"
,"\n"
. -
VT (vertical tab):
"\x0b"
,"\v"
. -
FF (form feed):
"\x0c"
,"\f"
. -
CR (carriage return):
"\x0d"
,"\r"
. -
SP (space):
"\x20"
," "
.
Whitespace is relevant for these methods:
String
Slices
A slice of a string is a substring that is selected by certain criteria.
These instance methods make use of slicing:
-
String#[]
(also aliased asString#slice
) returns a slice copied fromself
. -
String#[]=
returns a copy ofself
with a slice replaced. -
String#slice!
returnsself
with a slice removed.
Each of the above methods takes arguments that determine the slice to be copied or replaced.
The arguments have several forms. For string string
, the forms are:
-
string[index]
. -
string[start, length]
. -
string[range]
. -
string[regexp, capture = 0]
. -
string[substring]
.
string[index]
When non-negative integer argument index
is given, the slice is the 1-character substring found in self
at character offset index
:
'bar'[0] # => "b" 'bar'[2] # => "r" 'bar'[20] # => nil 'тест'[2] # => "с" 'こんにちは'[4] # => "は"
When negative integer index
is given, the slice begins at the offset given by counting backward from the end of self
:
'bar'[-3] # => "b" 'bar'[-1] # => "r" 'bar'[-20] # => nil
string[start, length]
When non-negative integer arguments start
and length
are given, the slice begins at character offset start
, if it exists, and continues for length
characters, if available:
'foo'[0, 2] # => "fo" 'тест'[1, 2] # => "ес" 'こんにちは'[2, 2] # => "にち" # Zero length. 'foo'[2, 0] # => "" # Length not entirely available. 'foo'[1, 200] # => "oo" # Start out of range. 'foo'[4, 2] # => nil
Special case: if start
is equal to the length of self
, the slice is a new empty string:
'foo'[3, 2] # => "" 'foo'[3, 200] # => ""
When negative start
and non-negative length
are given, the slice beginning is determined by counting backward from the end of self
, and the slice continues for length
characters, if available:
'foo'[-2, 2] # => "oo" 'foo'[-2, 200] # => "oo" # Start out of range. 'foo'[-4, 2] # => nil
When negative length
is given, there is no slice:
'foo'[1, -1] # => nil 'foo'[-2, -1] # => nil
string[range]
When Range
argument range
is given, creates a substring of string
using the indices in range
. The slice is then determined as above:
'foo'[0..1] # => "fo" 'foo'[0, 2] # => "fo" 'foo'[2...2] # => "" 'foo'[2, 0] # => "" 'foo'[1..200] # => "oo" 'foo'[1, 200] # => "oo" 'foo'[4..5] # => nil 'foo'[4, 2] # => nil 'foo'[-4..-3] # => nil 'foo'[-4, 2] # => nil 'foo'[3..4] # => "" 'foo'[3, 2] # => "" 'foo'[-2..-1] # => "oo" 'foo'[-2, 2] # => "oo" 'foo'[-2..197] # => "oo" 'foo'[-2, 200] # => "oo"
string[regexp, capture = 0]
When the Regexp
argument regexp
is given, and the capture
argument is 0
, the slice is the first matching substring found in self
:
'foo'[/o/] # => "o" 'foo'[/x/] # => nil s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/] # => "ell" s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 0] # => "ell"
If argument capture
is given and not 0
, it should be either an capture group index (integer) or a capture group name (string or symbol); the slice is the specified capture (see Groups and Captures at Regexp
):
s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 1] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, "non_vowel"] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, :vowel] # => "e"
If an invalid capture group index is given, there is no slice. If an invalid capture group name is given, IndexError
is raised.
string[substring]
When the single String
argument substring
is given, returns the substring from self
if found, otherwise nil
:
'foo'['oo'] # => "oo" 'foo'['xx'] # => nil

Returns a new String that is a copy of string
.
With no arguments, returns the empty string with the Encoding
ASCII-8BIT
:
s = String.new s # => "" s.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
With optional argument string
and no keyword arguments, returns a copy of string
with the same encoding:
String.new('foo') # => "foo" String.new('тест') # => "тест" String.new('こんにちは') # => "こんにちは"
(Unlike String.new, a string literal like ''
or a string literal always has script encoding.)
With optional keyword argument encoding
, returns a copy of string
with the specified encoding; the encoding
may be an Encoding
object, an encoding name, or an encoding name alias:
String.new('foo', encoding: Encoding::US_ASCII).encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII> String.new('foo', encoding: 'US-ASCII').encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII> String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII').encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
The given encoding need not be valid for the string’s content, and that validity is not checked:
s = String.new('こんにちは', encoding: 'ascii') s.valid_encoding? # => false
But the given encoding
itself is checked:
String.new('foo', encoding: 'bar') # Raises ArgumentError.
With optional keyword argument capacity
, returns a copy of string
(or an empty string, if string
is not given); the given capacity
is advisory only, and may or may not set the size of the internal buffer, which may in turn affect performance:
String.new(capacity: 1) String.new('foo', capacity: 4096)
The string
, encoding
, and capacity
arguments may all be used together:
String.new('hello', encoding: 'UTF-8', capacity: 25)

If object
is a String
object, returns object
.
Otherwise if object
responds to :to_str
, calls object.to_str
and returns the result.
Returns nil
if object
does not respond to :to_str
.
Raises an exception unless object.to_str
returns a String
object.

Returns the result of formatting object
into the format specification self
(see Kernel#sprintf
for formatting details):
"%05d" % 123 # => "00123"
If self
contains multiple substitutions, object
must be an Array
or Hash
containing the values to be substituted:
"%-5s: %016x" % [ "ID", self.object_id ] # => "ID : 00002b054ec93168" "foo = %{foo}" % {foo: 'bar'} # => "foo = bar" "foo = %{foo}, baz = %{baz}" % {foo: 'bar', baz: 'bat'} # => "foo = bar, baz = bat"

Returns the string generated by calling crypt(3)
standard library function with str
and salt_str
, in this order, as its arguments. Please do not use this method any longer. It is legacy; provided only for backward compatibility with ruby scripts in earlier days. It is bad to use in contemporary programs for several reasons:
-
Behaviour of C’s
crypt(3)
depends on the OS it is run. The generated string lacks data portability. -
On some OSes such as Mac OS,
crypt(3)
never fails (i.e. silently ends up in unexpected results). -
On some OSes such as Mac OS,
crypt(3)
is not thread safe. -
So-called “traditional” usage of
crypt(3)
is very very very weak. According to its manpage, Linux’s traditionalcrypt(3)
output has only 2**56 variations; too easy to brute force today. And this is the default behaviour. -
In order to make things robust some OSes implement so-called “modular” usage. To go through, you have to do a complex build-up of the
salt_str
parameter, by hand. Failure in generation of a proper salt string tends not to yield any errors; typos in parameters are normally not detectable.-
For instance, in the following example, the second invocation of
String#crypt
is wrong; it has a typo in “round=” (lacks “s”). However the call does not fail and something unexpected is generated."foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # OK, proper usage "foo".crypt("$5$round=1000$salt$") # Typo not detected
-
-
Even in the “modular” mode, some hash functions are considered archaic and no longer recommended at all; for instance module
$1$
is officially abandoned by its author: see phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol/ . For another instance module$3$
is considered completely broken: see the manpage of FreeBSD. -
On some OS such as Mac OS, there is no modular mode. Yet, as written above,
crypt(3)
on Mac OS never fails. This means even if you build up a proper salt string it generates a traditional DES hash anyways, and there is no way for you to be aware of."foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # => "$5fNPQMxC5j6."
If for some reason you cannot migrate to other secure contemporary password hashing algorithms, install the string-crypt gem and require 'string/crypt'
to continue using it.

Returns a copy of self
transcoded as determined by dst_encoding
. By default, raises an exception if self
contains an invalid byte or a character not defined in dst_encoding
; that behavior may be modified by encoding options; see below.
With no arguments:
-
Uses the same encoding if
Encoding.default_internal
isnil
(the default):Encoding.default_internal # => nil s = "Ruby\x99".force_encoding('Windows-1252') s.encoding # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252> s.bytes # => [82, 117, 98, 121, 153] t = s.encode # => "Ruby\x99" t.encoding # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252> t.bytes # => [82, 117, 98, 121, 226, 132, 162]
-
Otherwise, uses the encoding
Encoding.default_internal
:Encoding.default_internal = 'UTF-8' t = s.encode # => "Ruby™" t.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
With only argument dst_encoding
given, uses that encoding:
s = "Ruby\x99".force_encoding('Windows-1252') s.encoding # => #<Encoding:Windows-1252> t = s.encode('UTF-8') # => "Ruby™" t.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
With arguments dst_encoding
and src_encoding
given, interprets self
using src_encoding
, encodes the new string using dst_encoding
:
s = "Ruby\x99" t = s.encode('UTF-8', 'Windows-1252') # => "Ruby™" t.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Optional keyword arguments enc_opts
specify encoding options; see Encoding Options.
Please note that, unless invalid: :replace
option is given, conversion from an encoding enc
to the same encoding enc
(independent of whether enc
is given explicitly or implicitly) is a no-op, i.e. the string is simply copied without any changes, and no exceptions are raised, even if there are invalid bytes.

Computes regexp
by converting pattern
(if not already a Regexp
).
regexp = Regexp.new(pattern)
Returns true

returns a MatchData
object, false
otherwise:
'foo'.match?(/o/) # => true 'foo'.match?('o') # => true 'foo'.match?(/x/) # => false
If Integer

Interprets the leading substring of self
as a string of octal digits (with an optional sign) and returns the corresponding number; returns zero if there is no such leading substring:
'123'.oct # => 83 '-377'.oct # => -255 '0377non-numeric'.oct # => 255 'non-numeric'.oct # => 0

Returns an array of substrings of self
that are the result of splitting self
at each occurrence of the given field separator field_sep
.
When field_sep
is $;
:
-
If
$;
isnil
(its default value), the split occurs just as iffield_sep
were given as a space character (see below). -
If
$;
is a string, the split occurs just as iffield_sep
were given as that string (see below).
When field_sep
is ' '
and limit
is nil
, the split occurs at each sequence of whitespace:
'abc def ghi'.split(' ') => ["abc", "def", "ghi"] "abc \n\tdef\t\n ghi".split(' ') # => ["abc", "def", "ghi"] 'abc def ghi'.split(' ') => ["abc", "def", "ghi"] ''.split(' ') => []
When field_sep
is a string different from ' '
and limit
is nil
, the split occurs at each occurrence of field_sep
; trailing empty substrings are not returned:
'abracadabra'.split('ab') => ["", "racad", "ra"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a') => ["", "", "", "bcd"] ''.split('a') => [] '3.14159'.split('1') => ["3.", "4", "59"] '!@#$%^$&*($)_+'.split('$') # => ["!@#", "%^", "&*(", ")_+"] 'тест'.split('т') => ["", "ес"] 'こんにちは'.split('に') => ["こん", "ちは"]
When field_sep
is a Regexp
and limit
is nil
, the split occurs at each occurrence of a match; trailing empty substrings are not returned:
'abracadabra'.split(/ab/) # => ["", "racad", "ra"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split(/a/) => ["", "", "", "bcd"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split(//) => ["a", "a", "a", "b", "c", "d", "a", "a", "a"] '1 + 1 == 2'.split(/\W+/) # => ["1", "1", "2"]
If the Regexp contains groups, their matches are also included in the returned array:
'1:2:3'.split(/(:)()()/, 2) # => ["1", ":", "", "", "2:3"]
As seen above, if limit
is nil
, trailing empty substrings are not returned; the same is true if limit
is zero:
'aaabcdaaa'.split('a') => ["", "", "", "bcd"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 0) # => ["", "", "", "bcd"]
If limit
is positive integer n
, no more than n - 1-
splits occur, so that at most n
substrings are returned, and trailing empty substrings are included:
'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 1) # => ["aaabcdaaa"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 2) # => ["", "aabcdaaa"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 5) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "aa"] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 7) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""] 'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', 8) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""]
Note that if field_sep
is a Regexp containing groups, their matches are in the returned array, but do not count toward the limit.
If limit
is negative, it behaves the same as if limit
was nil
, meaning that there is no limit, and trailing empty substrings are included:
'aaabcdaaa'.split('a', -1) # => ["", "", "", "bcd", "", "", ""]
If a block is given, it is called with each substring:
'abc def ghi'.split(' ') {|substring| p substring }
Output:
"abc" "def" "ghi"

Returns the successor to self
. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters.
The first character to be incremented is the rightmost alphanumeric: or, if no alphanumerics, the rightmost character:
'THX1138'.succ # => "THX1139" '<<koala>>'.succ # => "<<koalb>>" '***'.succ # => '**+'
The successor to a digit is another digit, “carrying” to the next-left character for a “rollover” from 9 to 0, and prepending another digit if necessary:
'00'.succ # => "01" '09'.succ # => "10" '99'.succ # => "100"
The successor to a letter is another letter of the same case, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another same-case letter if necessary:
'aa'.succ # => "ab" 'az'.succ # => "ba" 'zz'.succ # => "aaa" 'AA'.succ # => "AB" 'AZ'.succ # => "BA" 'ZZ'.succ # => "AAA"
The successor to a non-alphanumeric character is the next character in the underlying character set’s collating sequence, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another character if necessary:
s = 0.chr * 3 s # => "\x00\x00\x00" s.succ # => "\x00\x00\x01" s = 255.chr * 3 s # => "\xFF\xFF\xFF" s.succ # => "\x01\x00\x00\x00"
Carrying can occur between and among mixtures of alphanumeric characters:
s = 'zz99zz99' s.succ # => "aaa00aa00" s = '99zz99zz' s.succ # => "100aa00aa"
The successor to an empty String
is a new empty String
