Overview
A String
object holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing characters. String
objects may be created using .new or as literals.
Because of aliasing issues, users of strings should be aware of the methods that modify the contents of a String
object. Typically, methods with names ending in “!” modify their receiver, while those without a “!” return a new String
. However, there are exceptions, such as #[]=.

Constructor Details
.new(str = "") ⇒ String
.new(str = "", encoding: enc) ⇒ String
.new(str = "", capacity: size) ⇒ String
String
.new(str = "", encoding: enc) ⇒ String
.new(str = "", capacity: size) ⇒ String
Returns a new string object containing a copy of str.
The optional encoding keyword argument specifies the encoding of the new string. If not specified, the encoding of str is used (or ASCII-8BIT, if str is not specified).
The optional capacity keyword argument specifies the size of the internal buffer. This may improve performance, when the string will be concatenated many times (causing many realloc calls).

#<=>(other_string) ⇒ 1

Comparison—Returns -1, 0, +1, or nil
depending on whether string
is less than, equal to, or greater than other_string
.
nil
is returned if the two values are incomparable.
If the strings are of different lengths, and the strings are equal when compared up to the shortest length, then the longer string is considered greater than the shorter one.

Element Reference — If passed a single #index, returns a substring of one character at that index. If passed a start
index and a #length, returns a substring containing #length characters starting at the start
index. If passed a range
, its beginning and end are interpreted as offsets delimiting the substring to be returned.
In these three cases, if an index is negative, it is counted from the end of the string. For the start
and range
cases the starting index is just before a character and an index matching the string’s size. Additionally, an empty string is returned when the starting index for a character range is at the end of the string.
Returns nil
if the initial index falls outside the string or the length is negative.
If a ::Regexp
is supplied, the matching portion of the string is returned. If a capture
follows the regular expression, which may be a capture group index or name, follows the regular expression that component of the ::MatchData
is returned instead.
If a match_str
is given, that string is returned if it occurs in the string.
Returns nil
if the regular expression does not match or the match string cannot be found.

Element Assignment—Replaces some or all of the content of str. The portion of the string affected is determined using the same criteria as #[]. If the replacement string is not the same length as the text it is replacing, the string will be adjusted accordingly. If the regular expression or string is used as the index doesn’t match a position in the string, ::IndexError
is raised. If the regular expression form is used, the optional second ::Integer
allows you to specify which portion of the match to replace (effectively using the ::MatchData
indexing rules. The forms that take an ::Integer
will raise an ::IndexError
if the value is out of range; the ::Range
form will raise a ::RangeError
, and the ::Regexp
and String
will raise an ::IndexError
on negative match.

objects, returns a substring starting at the offset given by the first, and a length given by the second. If given a ::Range

#crypt(salt_str) ⇒ String
Returns the string generated by calling crypt(3)
standard library function with str
and salt_str
, in this order, as its arguments. Please do not use this method any longer. It is legacy; provided only for backward compatibility with ruby scripts in earlier days. It is bad to use in contemporary programs for several reasons:
* Behaviour of C's <code>crypt(3)</code> depends on the OS it is
run. The generated string lacks data portability.
* On some OSes such as Mac OS, <code>crypt(3)</code> never fails
(i.e. silently ends up in unexpected results).
* On some OSes such as Mac OS, <code>crypt(3)</code> is not
thread safe.
* So-called "traditional" usage of <code>crypt(3)</code> is very
very very weak. According to its manpage, Linux's traditional
<code>crypt(3)</code> output has only 2**56 variations; too
easy to brute force today. And this is the default behaviour.
* In order to make things robust some OSes implement so-called
"modular" usage. To go through, you have to do a complex
build-up of the {salt_str} parameter, by hand.
Failure in generation of a proper salt string tends not to
yield any errors; typos in parameters are normally not
detectable.
* For instance, in the following example, the second invocation
of {String#crypt} is wrong; it has a typo in
"round=" (lacks "s"). However the call does not fail and
something unexpected is generated.
"foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # OK, proper usage
"foo".crypt("$5$round=1000$salt$") # Typo not detected
* Even in the "modular" mode, some hash functions are considered
archaic and no longer recommended at all; for instance module
<code>$1$</code> is officially abandoned by its author: see
phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol.html . For another
instance module <code>$3$</code> is considered completely
broken: see the manpage of FreeBSD.
* On some OS such as Mac OS, there is no modular mode. Yet, as
written above, <code>crypt(3)</code> on Mac OS never fails.
This means even if you build up a proper salt string it
generates a traditional DES hash anyways, and there is no way
for you to be aware of.
"foo".crypt("$5$rounds=1000$salt$") # => "$5fNPQMxC5j6."
If for some reason you cannot migrate to other secure contemporary password hashing algorithms, install the string-crypt gem and require 'string/crypt'

#downcase ⇒ String
#downcase([options]) ⇒ String
String
#downcase([options]) ⇒ String
Returns a copy of str with all uppercase letters replaced with their lowercase counterparts. Which letters exactly are replaced, and by which other letters, depends on the presence or absence of options, and on the #encoding of the string.
The meaning of the options
is as follows:
- No option
-
Full Unicode case mapping, suitable for most languages (see :turkic and :lithuanian options below for exceptions). Context-dependent case mapping as described in Table 3-14 of the Unicode standard is currently not supported.
:ascii
-
Only the ASCII region, i.e. the characters “A” to “Z” and “a” to “z”, are affected. This option cannot be combined with any other option.
:turkic
-
Full Unicode case mapping, adapted for Turkic languages (Turkish, Azerbaijani, …). This means that upper case I is mapped to lower case dotless i, and so on.
:lithuanian
-
Currently, just full Unicode case mapping. In the future, full Unicode case mapping adapted for Lithuanian (keeping the dot on the lower case i even if there is an accent on top).
:fold
-
Only available on
downcase
anddowncase!
. Unicode case folding, which is more far-reaching than Unicode case mapping. This option currently cannot be combined with any other option (i.e. there is currently no variant for turkic languages).
Please note that several assumptions that are valid for ASCII-only case conversions do not hold for more general case conversions. For example, the length of the result may not be the same as the length of the input (neither in characters nor in bytes), some roundtrip assumptions (e.g. str.downcase == str.upcase.downcase) may not apply, and Unicode normalization (i.e. #unicode_normalize) is not necessarily maintained by case mapping operations.
Non-ASCII case mapping/folding is currently supported for UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE, UTF-32BE/LE, and ISO-8859-1~16 Strings/Symbols. This support will be extended to other encodings.

The first form returns a copy of str
transcoded to encoding #encoding. The second form returns a copy of str
transcoded from src_encoding to dst_encoding. The last form returns a copy of str
transcoded to Encoding.default_internal.
By default, the first and second form raise ::Encoding::UndefinedConversionError
for characters that are undefined in the destination encoding, and ::Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError
for invalid byte sequences in the source encoding. The last form by default does not raise exceptions but uses replacement strings.
The options
::Hash
gives details for conversion and can have the following keys:
:invalid
-
If the value is
:replace
, #encode replaces invalid byte sequences instr
with the replacement character. The default is to raise the Encoding::InvalidByteSequenceError exception :undef
-
If the value is
:replace
, #encode replaces characters which are undefined in the destination encoding with the replacement character. The default is to raise the Encoding::UndefinedConversionError. :replace
-
Sets the replacement string to the given value. The default replacement string is “uFFFD” for Unicode encoding forms, and “?” otherwise.
:fallback
-
Sets the replacement string by the given object for undefined character. The object should be a Hash, a Proc, a Method, or an object which has [] method. Its key is an undefined character encoded in the source encoding of current transcoder. Its value can be any encoding until it can be converted into the destination encoding of the transcoder.
:xml
-
The value must be
:text
or:attr
. If the value is:text
#encode replaces undefined characters with their (upper-case hexadecimal) numeric character references. ‘&’, ‘<’, and ‘>’ are converted to “&”, “<”, and “>”, respectively. If the value is:attr
, #encode also quotes the replacement result (using ‘“’), and replaces ‘”’ with “"”. :cr_newline
-
Replaces LF (“n”) with CR (“r”) if value is true.
:crlf_newline
-
Replaces LF (“n”) with CRLF (“rn”) if value is true.
:universal_newline
-
Replaces CRLF (“rn”) and CR (“r”) with LF (“n”) if value is true.

String
#gsub(pattern, hash) ⇒ String
#gsub(pattern) {|match| ... } ⇒ String
#gsub(pattern) ⇒ Enumerator
Returns a copy of str with all occurrences of pattern substituted for the second argument. The pattern is typically a ::Regexp
; if given as a String
, any regular expression metacharacters it contains will be interpreted literally, e.g. '\\d'
will match a backslash followed by ‘d’, instead of a digit.
If replacement is a String
it will be substituted for the matched text. It may contain back-references to the pattern’s capture groups of the form \\d
, where d is a group number, or \\k<n>
, where n is a group name. If it is a double-quoted string, both back-references must be preceded by an additional backslash. However, within replacement the special match variables, such as $&
, will not refer to the current match.
If the second argument is a ::Hash
, and the matched text is one of its keys, the corresponding value is the replacement string.
In the block form, the current match string is passed in as a parameter, and variables such as $1
, $2
, $`
, $&
, and $'
will be set appropriately. The value returned by the block will be substituted for the match on each call.
The result inherits any tainting in the original string or any supplied replacement string.
When neither a block nor a second argument is supplied, an ::Enumerator
is returned.

#succ ⇒ String
#next ⇒ String
Also known as: #succ
String
#next ⇒ String
Returns the successor to str. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters starting from the rightmost alphanumeric (or the rightmost character if there are no alphanumerics) in the string. Incrementing a digit always results in another digit, and incrementing a letter results in another letter of the same case. Incrementing nonalphanumerics uses the underlying character set’s collating sequence.
If the increment generates a “carry,” the character to the left of it is incremented. This process repeats until there is no carry, adding an additional character if necessary.

#scan(pattern) ⇒ Array
#scan(pattern) {|match, ...| ... } ⇒ String
String
Both forms iterate through str, matching the pattern (which may be a ::Regexp
or a String
). For each match, a result is generated and either added to the result array or passed to the block. If the pattern contains no groups, each individual result consists of the matched string, $&
. If the pattern contains groups, each individual result is itself an array containing one entry per group.
a = "cruel world"
a.scan(/\w+/) #=> ["cruel", "world"]
a.scan(/.../) #=> ["cru", "el ", "wor"]
a.scan(/(...)/) #=> [["cru"], ["el "], ["wor"]]
a.scan(/(..)(..)/) #=> [["cr", "ue"], ["l ", "wo"]]
And the block form:
a.scan(/\w+/) {|w| print "<<#{w}>> " }
print "\n"
a.scan(/(.)(.)/) {|x,y| print y, x }
print "\n"
produces:
<<cruel>> <<world>>

#split(pattern = nil, [limit]) ⇒ Array
#split(pattern = nil, [limit]) {|sub| ... } ⇒ String
String
Divides str into substrings based on a delimiter, returning an array of these substrings.
If pattern is a String
, then its contents are used as the delimiter when splitting str. If pattern is a single space, str is split on whitespace, with leading and trailing whitespace and runs of contiguous whitespace characters ignored.
If pattern is a ::Regexp
, str is divided where the pattern matches. Whenever the pattern matches a zero-length string, str is split into individual characters. If pattern contains groups, the respective matches will be returned in the array as well.
If pattern is nil
, the value of $;
is used. If $;
is nil
(which is the default), str is split on whitespace as if ‘ ’ were specified.
If the limit parameter is omitted, trailing null fields are suppressed. If limit is a positive number, at most that number of split substrings will be returned (captured groups will be returned as well, but are not counted towards the limit). If limit is 1
, the entire string is returned as the only entry in an array. If negative, there is no limit to the number of fields returned, and trailing null fields are not suppressed.
When the input str
is empty an empty ::Array
is returned as the string is considered to have no fields to split.

#sub(pattern, replacement) ⇒ String
#sub(pattern, hash) ⇒ String
#sub(pattern) {|match| ... } ⇒ String
String
#sub(pattern, hash) ⇒ String
#sub(pattern) {|match| ... } ⇒ String
Returns a copy of str
with the first occurrence of pattern
replaced by the second argument. The pattern
is typically a Regexp; if given as a String
, any regular expression metacharacters it contains will be interpreted literally, e.g. '\\d'
will match a backslash followed by ‘d’, instead of a digit.
If replacement
is a String
it will be substituted for the matched text. It may contain back-references to the pattern’s capture groups of the form "\d"
, where d is a group number, or "\k<n>"
, where n is a group name. If it is a double-quoted string, both back-references must be preceded by an additional backslash. However, within replacement
the special match variables, such as $&
, will not refer to the current match. If replacement
is a String
that looks like a pattern’s capture group but is actually not a pattern capture group e.g. "\'"
, then it will have to be preceded by two backslashes like so "\\'"
.
If the second argument is a ::Hash
, and the matched text is one of its keys, the corresponding value is the replacement string.
In the block form, the current match string is passed in as a parameter, and variables such as $1
, $2
, $`
, $&
, and $'
will be set appropriately. The value returned by the block will be substituted for the match on each call.
The result inherits any tainting in the original string or any supplied replacement string.

#tr(from_str, to_str) ⇒ String
Returns a copy of str
with the characters in from_str
replaced by the corresponding characters in #to_str. If #to_str is shorter than from_str
, it is padded with its last character in order to maintain the correspondence.
"hello".tr('el', 'ip') #=> "hippo"
"hello".tr('aeiou', '*') #=> "h*ll*"
"hello".tr('aeiou', 'AA*') #=> "hAll*"
Both strings may use the c1-c2
notation to denote ranges of characters, and from_str
may start with a ^
, which denotes all characters except those listed.
"hello".tr('a-y', 'b-z') #=> "ifmmp"

The backslash character \
can be used to escape ^
or -
and is otherwise ignored unless it appears at the end of a range or the end of the from_str
or #to_str:
"hello^world".tr("\\^aeiou", "*") #=> "h*ll**w*rld"

#unicode_normalize(form = :nfc)
Unicode Normalization—Returns a normalized form of str
, using Unicode normalizations NFC, NFD, NFKC, or NFKD. The normalization form used is determined by form
, which can be any of the four values :nfc
, :nfd
, :nfkc
, or :nfkd
. The default is :nfc
.
If the string is not in a Unicode Encoding, then an ::Exception
is raised. In this context, ‘Unicode Encoding’ means any of UTF-8, UTF-16BE/LE, and UTF-32BE/LE, as well as GB18030, UCS_2BE, and UCS_4BE. Anything other than UTF-8 is implemented by converting to UTF-8, which makes it slower than UTF-8.

#unpack(format) ⇒ Array
Decodes str (which may contain binary data) according to the format string, returning an array of each value extracted. The format string consists of a sequence of single-character directives, summarized in the table at the end of this entry. Each directive may be followed by a number, indicating the number of times to repeat with this directive. An asterisk (“*
”) will use up all remaining elements. The directives sSiIlL
may each be followed by an underscore (“_
”) or exclamation mark (“!
”) to use the underlying platform’s native size for the specified type; otherwise, it uses a platform-independent consistent size. Spaces are ignored in the format string. See also #unpack1, Array#pack.
"abc \0\0abc \0\0".unpack('A6Z6') #=> ["abc", "abc "]
"abc \0\0".unpack('a3a3') #=> ["abc", " \000\000"]
