Returns true if the arguments define a valid ordinal date, false otherwise:
Date.valid_ordinal?(2001, 34) # => true Date.valid_ordinal?(2001, 366) # => false
See argument start.
Related: Date.jd, Date.ordinal.
Calls the given block with each character in the stream; returns self. See Character IO.
f = File.new('t.rus') a = [] f.each_char {|c| a << c.ord } a # => [1090, 1077, 1089, 1090] f.close
Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.

Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the stream, or nil if the stream is in write mode and no encoding is specified.
See Encodings.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the internal string, if conversion is specified, or nil otherwise.
See Encodings.
See Encodings.
Argument ext_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the stream.
Argument int_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the internal string.
Argument 'ext_enc:int_enc', if given, is a string containing two colon-separated encoding names; corresponding Encoding objects are assigned as the external and internal encodings for the stream.
If the external encoding of a string is binary/ASCII-8BIT, the internal encoding of the string is set to nil, since no transcoding is needed.
Optional keyword arguments enc_opts specify Encoding options.
Returns false if self is applicable to a string with any ASCII-compatible encoding; otherwise returns true:
r = /a/ # => /a/ r.fixed_encoding? # => false r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2 a".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r = /a/u # => /a/ r.fixed_encoding? # => true r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # Raises exception. r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => true r = /\u{6666}/ # => /\u{6666}/ r.fixed_encoding? # => true r.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8> r.match?("\u{6666} a") # => true r.match?("\xa1\xa2".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # Raises exception. r.match?("abc".force_encoding("euc-jp")) # => false
Iterates over the children of the directory (files and subdirectories, not recursive).
It yields Pathname object for each child.
By default, the yielded 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.
Pathname("/usr/local").each_child {|f| p f } #=> #<Pathname:/usr/local/share> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/bin> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/games> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/lib> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/include> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/sbin> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/src> # #<Pathname:/usr/local/man> Pathname("/usr/local").each_child(false) {|f| p f } #=> #<Pathname:share> # #<Pathname:bin> # #<Pathname:games> # #<Pathname:lib> # #<Pathname:include> # #<Pathname:sbin> # #<Pathname:src> # #<Pathname:man>
Note that the results never contain the entries . and .. in the directory because they are not children.
With a block given, calls the block with each remaining character in the stream; see Character IO.
With no block given, returns an enumerator.
Returns the Encoding object that represents the encoding of the file. If the stream is write mode and no encoding is specified, returns nil.
Returns the Encoding of the internal string if conversion is specified. Otherwise returns nil.
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.
Iterates over each character of each file in ARGF.
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 character of the first file has been returned, the first character of the second file is returned. The ARGF.filename method can be used to determine the name of the file in which the current character appears.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
Returns the external encoding for files read from ARGF as an Encoding object. The external encoding is the encoding of the text as stored in a file. Contrast with ARGF.internal_encoding, which is the encoding used to represent this text within Ruby.
To set the external encoding use ARGF.set_encoding.
For example:
ARGF.external_encoding #=> #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Returns the internal encoding for strings read from ARGF as an Encoding object.
If ARGF.set_encoding has been called with two encoding names, the second is returned. Otherwise, if Encoding.default_external has been set, that value is returned. Failing that, if a default external encoding was specified on the command-line, that value is used. If the encoding is unknown, nil is returned.
If single argument is specified, strings read from ARGF are tagged with the encoding specified.
If two encoding names separated by a colon are given, e.g. “ascii:utf-8”, the read string is converted from the first encoding (external encoding) to the second encoding (internal encoding), then tagged with the second encoding.
If two arguments are specified, they must be encoding objects or encoding names. Again, the first specifies the external encoding; the second specifies the internal encoding.
If the external encoding and the internal encoding are specified, the optional Hash argument can be used to adjust the conversion process. The structure of this hash is explained in the String#encode documentation.
For example:
ARGF.set_encoding('ascii') # Tag the input as US-ASCII text ARGF.set_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # Tag the input as UTF-8 text ARGF.set_encoding('utf-8','ascii') # Transcode the input from US-ASCII # to UTF-8.
Returns additional info.
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty.
Since Thread::handle_interrupt can be used to defer asynchronous events, this method can be used to determine if there are any deferred events.
If you find this method returns true, then you may finish :never blocks.
For example, the following method processes deferred asynchronous events immediately.
def Thread.kick_interrupt_immediately Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate) { Thread.pass } end
If error is given, then check only for error type deferred events.
th = Thread.new{
Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){
while true
...
# reach safe point to invoke interrupt
if Thread.pending_interrupt?
Thread.handle_interrupt(Object => :immediate){}
end
...
end
}
}
...
th.raise # stop thread
This example can also be written as the following, which you should use to avoid asynchronous interrupts.
flag = true
th = Thread.new{
Thread.handle_interrupt(RuntimeError => :on_blocking){
while true
...
# reach safe point to invoke interrupt
break if flag == false
...
end
}
}
...
flag = false # stop thread
Returns whether or not the asynchronous queue is empty for the target thread.
If error is given, then check only for error type deferred events.
See ::pending_interrupt? for more information.
Ruby tries to load the library named string relative to the directory containing the requiring file. If the file does not exist a LoadError is raised. Returns true if the file was loaded and false if the file was already loaded before.
Returns the first number in this arithmetic sequence, or an array of the first n elements.
Returns the hash value of a given string. This is equivalent to Digest::Class.new(*parameters).digest(string), where extra parameters, if any, are passed through to the constructor and the string is passed to digest().
