class StringIO
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
- VERSION
Public Class Methods
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).
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.
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>
Related: StringIO.new.
