StringIO

Pseudo I/O on String object, with interface corresponding to IO.

Commonly used to simulate $stdio or $stderr

Examples

require 'stringio'

# Writing stream emulation
io = StringIO.new
io.puts "Hello World"
io.string #=> "Hello World\n"

# Reading stream emulation
io = StringIO.new "first\nsecond\nlast\n"
io.getc #=> "f"
io.gets #=> "irst\n"
io.read #=> "second\nlast\n"

new(string=""[, mode]) click to toggle source

Creates new StringIO instance from with string and mode.

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

    if (!ptr) {

    return strio_init(argc, argv, ptr, self);
}
            
open(string=""[, mode]) {|strio| ...} click to toggle source

Equivalent to ::new except that when it is called with a block, it yields with the new instance and closes it, and returns the result which returned from the block.

 
               static VALUE
strio_s_open(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE klass)

string → string click to toggle source

Returns underlying String object, the subject of IO.

strio_get_string(VALUE self)
{
    return StringIO(self)->string;
}
            
string = string → string click to toggle source

Changes underlying String object, the subject of IO.

 
               static VALUE
strio_set_string(VALUE self, VALUE string)
{
    struct StringIO *ptr = StringIO(self);

    rb_io_taint_check(self);

}
            
sync → true click to toggle source

Returns true always.

 
               static VALUE
strio_get_sync(VALUE self)
{
    StringIO(self);
    return Qtrue;
}
            
sync=(p1) click to toggle source

Returns the argument unchanged. Just for compatibility to IO.

 
               static VALUE
strio_first(VALUE self, VALUE arg)
{
    StringIO(self);
    return arg;
}
            
pos → integer click to toggle source
tell → integer

Returns the current offset (in bytes).

 
               static VALUE
strio_get_pos(VALUE self)
{
    return LONG2NUM(StringIO(self)->pos);
}
            
truncate(integer) → 0 click to toggle source

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

 
               static VALUE
strio_truncate(VALUE self, VALUE len)
{
    VALUE string = writable(self)->string;
    long l = NUM2LONG(len);

}
            
tty?() click to toggle source

Returns false. Just for compatibility to IO.

strio_false(VALUE self)
{
    StringIO(self);
    return Qfalse;
}
            
ungetbyte(fixnum) → nil click to toggle source

See IO#ungetbyte

        }
    }
    return Qnil;
}
            
ungetc(string) → nil click to toggle source

Pushes back one character (passed as a parameter) such that a subsequent buffered read will return it. There is no limitation for multiple pushbacks including pushing back behind the beginning of the buffer string.

 
               static VALUE
strio_ungetc(VALUE self, VALUE c)

        return Qnil;
    }
}
            
write(string, ...) → integer click to toggle source
syswrite(string) → integer

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.

 
               static VALUE
strio_write_m(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    long len = 0;
    while (argc-- > 0) {
        /* StringIO can't exceed long limit */
        len += strio_write(self, *argv++);
    }
    return LONG2NUM(len);
}
