StringIO

Class

IO streams for strings, with access similar to IO; see IO.

About the Examples

Examples on this page assume that StringIO has been required:

require 'stringio'

Constants

MAX_LENGTH

Maximum length that a StringIO instance can hold

Class Methods

StringIO.new(string = '', mode = 'r+') → new_stringio

ext/stringio/stringio.c View on GitHub

          
            static VALUE
strio_initialize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    struct StringIO *ptr = check_strio(self);

    if (!ptr) {
        DATA_PTR(self) = ptr = strio_alloc();
    }
    rb_call_super(0, 0);
    return strio_init(argc, argv, ptr, self);
}

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.

Returns a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes:

strio = StringIO.new # => #<StringIO>
strio.close

The instance should be closed when no longer needed.

Related: StringIO.open (accepts block; closes automatically).

StringIO.open(string = '', mode = 'r+') {|strio| ... }

            static VALUE
strio_s_open(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)
{
    VALUE obj = rb_class_new_instance_kw(argc, argv, klass, RB_PASS_CALLED_KEYWORDS);
    if (!rb_block_given_p()) return obj;
    return rb_ensure(rb_yield, obj, strio_finalize, obj);
}

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.

Creates a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes.

With no block, returns the new instance:

strio = StringIO.open # => #<StringIO>

With a block, calls the block with the new instance and returns the block’s value; closes the instance on block exit.

StringIO.open {|strio| p strio }
# => #<StringIO>

Specify the encoding of the StringIO as ext_enc. Use the default external encoding if ext_enc is nil. 2nd argument int_enc and optional hash opt argument are ignored; they are for API compatibility to IO.

strio.set_encoding_by_bom => strio or nil

ext/stringio/stringio.c View on GitHub

          
            static VALUE
strio_set_encoding_by_bom(VALUE self)
{
    struct StringIO *ptr = StringIO(self);

    if (!set_encoding_by_bom(ptr)) return Qnil;
    return rb_enc_from_encoding(ptr->enc);
}

Sets the encoding according to the BOM (Byte Order Mark) in the string.

Returns self if the BOM is found, otherwise +nil.

    return StringIO(self)->string;
}

Returns underlying string:

StringIO.open('foo') do |strio|
  p strio.string
  strio.string = 'bar'
  p strio.string
end

Output:

"foo"
"bar"

Related: StringIO#string= (assigns the underlying string).

ext/stringio/stringio.c View on GitHub

          
            static VALUE
strio_set_string(VALUE self, VALUE string)
{

    ptr->pos = 0;
    ptr->lineno = 0;
    RB_OBJ_WRITE(self, &ptr->string, string);
    return string;
}

Assigns the underlying string as other_string, and sets position to zero; returns other_string:

StringIO.open('foo') do |strio|
  p strio.string
  strio.string = 'bar'
  p strio.string
end

"foo"

    if (plen < l) {
        MEMZERO(RSTRING_PTR(string) + plen, char, l - plen);
    }

Truncates the buffer string to at most integer bytes. The stream must be opened for writing.

Appends the given string to the underlying buffer string. The stream must be opened for writing. If the argument is not a string, it will be converted to a string using to_s. Returns the number of bytes written. See IO#write.
