Some of the more rarely used string methods:
str = "the tester"
str["tester"] #true, the String contains "tester"
str[/\w+\s\w+/] #true, the String matches the regexpstr[/(\w+)/] = ($1[0] - 32).chrPosted by root Sat, 14 Jun 2008 13:45:00 GMT
class MyString < String
# not really useful
alias + concat
# emulates Array '*' method
def *(string)
self.split('').inject('') do |s1,c|
s1 + c + string
end
end
# emulates Array '-' method
def /(string)
(self.split('') - string.split('')).to_s
end
# chars' delimiter
def delimiter(string)
self.*(string).sub /.$/, ''
end
