}

Returns a captured substring or nil; see [Captured Match Values].

When there are captures:

scanner = StringScanner.new('Fri Dec 12 1975 14:39')
scanner.scan(/(?<wday>\w+) (?<month>\w+) (?<day>\d+) /)

specifier zero: returns the entire matched substring:

scanner[0]         # => "Fri Dec 12 "
scanner.pre_match  # => ""
scanner.post_match # => "1975 14:39"

specifier positive integer. returns the nth capture, or nil if out of range:

scanner[1] # => "Fri"
scanner[2] # => "Dec"
scanner[3] # => "12"
scanner[4] # => nil

specifier negative integer. counts backward from the last subgroup:

scanner[-1] # => "12"
scanner[-4] # => "Fri Dec 12 "
scanner[-5] # => nil

specifier symbol or string. returns the named subgroup, or nil if no such:

scanner[:wday]  # => "Fri"
scanner['wday'] # => "Fri"
scanner[:month] # => "Dec"
scanner[:day]   # => "12"
scanner[:nope]  # => nil

When there are no captures, only [0] returns non-nil:

scanner = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz')
scanner.exist?(/bar/)
scanner[0] # => "bar"
scanner[1] # => nil

For a failed match, even [0] returns nil:

scanner.scan(/nope/) # => nil
scanner[0]           # => nil
scanner[1]           # => nil

beginning_of_line? → true or false

    if (p->curr == 0) return Qtrue;
    return (*(CURPTR(p) - 1) == '\n') ? Qtrue : Qfalse;
}

Returns whether the [position] is at the beginning of a line; that is, at the beginning of the [stored string] or immediately after a newline:

scanner = StringScanner.new(MULTILINE_TEXT)
scanner.string
# => "Go placidly amid the noise and haste,\nand remember what peace there may be in silence.\n"

                         S_LEN(p));
}

Returns the substring that follows the matched substring from the most recent match attempt if it was successful, or nil otherwise; see [Basic Match Values]:

}

Sets both [byte position] and [character position] to zero, and clears [match values]; returns self:

scanner = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz')
scanner.exist?(/bar/)          # => 6
scanner.reset                  # => #<StringScanner 0/9 @ "fooba...">

}

Returns the ‘rest’ of the [stored string] (all after the current [position]), which is the [target substring]:

Returns the count of captures if the most recent match attempt succeeded, nil otherwise; see [Captures Match Values]:

Replaces the [stored string] with the given other_string:

Sets both [positions] to zero.
Clears [match values].
Returns other_string.

Sets the [position] to its value previous to the recent successful [match] attempt:

scanner.scan(/foo/)
put_situation(scanner)
# Situation:
#   pos:       3

# Situation:
#   pos:       0
#   charpos:   0
#   rest:      "foobarbaz"
#   rest_size: 9

Raises an exception if match values are clear:

scanner.scan(/nope/)           # => nil
match_values_cleared?(scanner) # => true
scanner.unscan                 # Raises StringScanner::Error.

Returns an array of captured substrings, or nil of none.

For each specifier, the returned substring is [specifier]; see [].
