class String
A String
object holds and manipulates an arbitrary sequence of bytes, typically representing characters. String
objects may be created using String::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 String#[]=
.

Returns a new String that is a copy of string
.
With no arguments, returns the empty string with the Encoding
ASCII-8BIT
:
s = String.new s # => "" s.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
With the single String argument string
, returns a copy of string
with the same encoding as string
:
s = String.new("Que veut dire \u{e7}a?") s # => "Que veut dire \u{e7}a?" s.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
Literal strings like ""
or here-documents always use script encoding, unlike String.new
.
With keyword encoding
, returns a copy of str
with the specified encoding:
s = String.new(encoding: 'ASCII') s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII> s = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII') s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
Note that these are equivalent:
s0 = String.new('foo', encoding: 'ASCII') s1 = 'foo'.force_encoding('ASCII') s0.encoding == s1.encoding # => true
With keyword capacity
, returns a copy of str
; the given capacity
may set the size of the internal buffer, which may affect performance:
String.new(capacity: 1) # => "" String.new(capacity: 4096) # => ""
The string
, encoding
, and capacity
arguments may all be used together:
String.new('hello', encoding: 'UTF-8', capacity: 25)
static VALUE rb_str_s_try_convert(VALUE dummy, VALUE str) { return rb_check_string_type(str); }
If object
is a String object, returns object
.
Otherwise if object
responds to :to_str
, calls object.to_str
and returns the result.
Returns nil
if object
does not respond to :to_str
Raises an exception unless object.to_str
returns a String object.

Returns a new String containing the concatenation of self
and object
:
s = 'foo' s << 'bar' # => "foobar"
If object
is an Integer, the value is considered a codepoint and converted to a character before concatenation:
s = 'foo' s << 33 # => "foo!"
Related: String#concat
, which takes multiple arguments.

Compares self
and other_string
, returning:
-
-1 if
other_string
is smaller. -
0 if the two are equal.
-
1 if
other_string
is larger. -
nil
if the two are incomparable.
Examples:

if object
has the same length and content; as self
; false
otherwise:
s = 'foo' s == 'foo' # => true s == 'food' # => false s == 'FOO' # => false
Returns false
if the two strings' encodings are not compatible:
"\u{e4 f6 fc}".encode("ISO-8859-1") == ("\u{c4 d6 dc}") # => false
If object
is not an instance of String but responds to to_str
, then the two strings are compared using object.==
.
Returns true

static VALUE rb_str_match(VALUE x, VALUE y) { switch (OBJ_BUILTIN_TYPE(y)) { case T_STRING: rb_raise(rb_eTypeError, "type mismatch: String given"); case T_REGEXP: return rb_reg_match(y, x); default: return rb_funcall(y, idEqTilde, 1, x); } }
Returns the Integer index of the first substring that matches the given regexp
, or nil
if no match found:
'foo' =~ /f/ # => 0 'foo' =~ /o/ # => 1 'foo' =~ /x/ # => nil
Note: also updates Regexp-related global variables.
If the given object
is not a Regexp, returns the value returned by object =~ self
.
Note that string =~ regexp
is different from regexp =~ string
(see Regexp#=~):
number= nil "no. 9" =~ /(?<number>\d+)/ number # => nil (not assigned) /(?<number>\d+)/ =~ "no. 9" number #=> "9"
static VALUE rb_str_aref_m(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { if (argc == 2) { if (RB_TYPE_P(argv[0], T_REGEXP)) { return rb_str_subpat(str, argv[0], argv[1]); } else { long beg = NUM2LONG(argv[0]); long len = NUM2LONG(argv[1]); return rb_str_substr(str, beg, len); } } rb_check_arity(argc, 1, 2); return rb_str_aref(str, argv[0]); }
Returns the substring of self
specified by the arguments.
When the single Integer argument index
is given, returns the 1-character substring found in self
at offset index
:
'bar'[2] # => "r"
Counts backward from the end of self
if index
is negative:
'foo'[-3] # => "f"
Returns nil
if index
is out of range:
'foo'[3] # => nil 'foo'[-4] # => nil
When the two Integer arguments start
and length
are given, returns the substring of the given length
found in self
at offset start
:
'foo'[0, 2] # => "fo" 'foo'[0, 0] # => ""
Counts backward from the end of self
if start
is negative:
'foo'[-2, 2] # => "oo"
Special case: returns a new empty String if start
is equal to the length of self
:
'foo'[3, 2] # => ""
Returns nil
if start
is out of range:
'foo'[4, 2] # => nil 'foo'[-4, 2] # => nil
Returns the trailing substring of self
if length
is large:
'foo'[1, 50] # => "oo"
Returns nil
if length
is negative:
'foo'[0, -1] # => nil
When the single Range argument range
is given, derives start
and length
values from the given range
, and returns values as above:
-
'foo'[0..1]
is equivalent to'foo'[0, 2]
. -
'foo'[0...1]
is equivalent to'foo'[0, 1]
.
When the Regexp argument regexp
is given, and the capture
argument is 0
, returns the first matching substring found in self
, or nil
if none found:
'foo'[/o/] # => "o" 'foo'[/x/] # => nil s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/] # => "ell" s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 0] # => "ell"
If argument capture
is given and not 0
, it should be either an Integer capture group index or a String or Symbol capture group name; the method call returns only the specified capture (see Regexp Capturing):
s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 1] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, "non_vowel"] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, :vowel] # => "e"
If an invalid capture group index is given, nil
is returned. If an invalid capture group name is given, IndexError
is raised.
When the single String argument substring
is given, returns the substring from self
if found, otherwise nil
:
'foo'['oo'] # => "oo" 'foo'['xx'] # => nil
String#slice
is an alias for String#[]
.
static VALUE rb_str_aset_m(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { if (argc == 3) { if (RB_TYPE_P(argv[0], T_REGEXP)) { rb_str_subpat_set(str, argv[0], argv[1], argv[2]); } else { rb_str_splice(str, NUM2LONG(argv[0]), NUM2LONG(argv[1]), argv[2]); } return argv[2]; } rb_check_arity(argc, 2, 3); return rb_str_aset(str, argv[0], argv[1]); }
Element Assignment—Replaces some or all of the content of str. The portion of the string affected is determined using the same criteria as String#[]
. 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.
static VALUE rb_str_is_ascii_only_p(VALUE str) { int cr = rb_enc_str_coderange(str); return cr == ENC_CODERANGE_7BIT ? Qtrue : Qfalse; }
Returns true for a string which has only ASCII characters.
"abc".force_encoding("UTF-8").ascii_only? #=> true "abc\u{6666}".force_encoding("UTF-8").ascii_only? #=> false
static VALUE rb_str_b(VALUE str) { VALUE str2 = str_alloc(rb_cString); str_replace_shared_without_enc(str2, str); ENC_CODERANGE_CLEAR(str2); return str2; }
Returns a copied string whose encoding is ASCII-8BIT.
static VALUE rb_str_bytes(VALUE str) { VALUE ary = WANTARRAY("bytes", RSTRING_LEN(str)); return rb_str_enumerate_bytes(str, ary); }
Returns an array of bytes in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_byte.to_a
.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_byte
.
static VALUE rb_str_bytesize(VALUE str) { return LONG2NUM(RSTRING_LEN(str)); }
Returns the count of bytes in self
:
"\x80\u3042".bytesize # => 4 "hello".bytesize # => 5
Related: String#length
.
static VALUE rb_str_byteslice(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { if (argc == 2) { long beg = NUM2LONG(argv[0]); long end = NUM2LONG(argv[1]); return str_byte_substr(str, beg, end, TRUE); } rb_check_arity(argc, 1, 2); return str_byte_aref(str, argv[0]); }
Byte Reference—If passed a single Integer
, returns a substring of one byte at that position. If passed two Integer
objects, returns a substring starting at the offset given by the first, and a length given by the second. If given a Range
, a substring containing bytes at offsets given by the range is returned. In all three cases, if an offset is negative, it is counted from the end of str. Returns nil
if the initial offset falls outside the string, the length is negative, or the beginning of the range is greater than the end. The encoding of the resulted string keeps original encoding.
"hello".byteslice(1) #=> "e" "hello".byteslice(-1) #=> "o" "hello".byteslice(1, 2) #=> "el" "\x80\u3042".byteslice(1, 3) #=> "\u3042" "\x03\u3042\xff".byteslice(1..3) #=> "\u3042"

Modifies str by converting the first character to uppercase and the remainder to lowercase. Returns nil
if no changes are made. There is an exception for modern Georgian (mkhedruli/MTAVRULI), where the result is the same as for String#downcase
, to avoid mixed case.
See String#downcase
for meaning of options
and use with different encodings.

-
-1 if
other_string
is smaller. -
0 if the two are equal.
-
1 if
other_string
is larger. -
nil
if the two are incomparable.
Examples:

static VALUE rb_str_center(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { return rb_str_justify(argc, argv, str, 'c'); }
Centers str
in width
. If width
is greater than the length of str
, returns a new String
of length width
with str
centered and padded with padstr
; otherwise, returns str
.
"hello".center(4) #=> "hello" "hello".center(20) #=> " hello " "hello".center(20, '123') #=> "1231231hello12312312"
static VALUE rb_str_chars(VALUE str) { VALUE ary = WANTARRAY("chars", rb_str_strlen(str)); return rb_str_enumerate_chars(str, ary); }
Returns an array of characters in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_char.to_a
.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_char
.
static VALUE rb_str_chomp(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { VALUE rs = chomp_rs(argc, argv); if (NIL_P(rs)) return str_duplicate(rb_cString, str); return rb_str_subseq(str, 0, chompped_length(str, rs)); }
Returns a new String
with the given record separator removed from the end of str (if present). If $/
has not been changed from the default Ruby record separator, then chomp
also removes carriage return characters (that is it will remove \n
, \r
, and \r\n
). If $/
is an empty string, it will remove all trailing newlines from the string.
"hello".chomp #=> "hello" "hello\n".chomp #=> "hello" "hello\r\n".chomp #=> "hello" "hello\n\r".chomp #=> "hello\n" "hello\r".chomp #=> "hello" "hello \n there".chomp #=> "hello \n there" "hello".chomp("llo") #=> "he" "hello\r\n\r\n".chomp('') #=> "hello" "hello\r\n\r\r\n".chomp('') #=> "hello\r\n\r"

Modifies str in place as described for String#chomp
, returning str, or nil
if no modifications were made.
static VALUE rb_str_chop(VALUE str) { return rb_str_subseq(str, 0, chopped_length(str)); }
Returns a new String
with the last character removed. If the string ends with \r\n
, both characters are removed. Applying chop
to an empty string returns an empty string. String#chomp
is often a safer alternative, as it leaves the string unchanged if it doesn't end in a record separator.
"string\r\n".chop #=> "string" "string\n\r".chop #=> "string\n" "string\n".chop #=> "string" "string".chop #=> "strin" "x".chop.chop #=> ""

Processes str as for String#chop
, returning str, or nil
if str is the empty string. See also String#chomp!
.
static VALUE rb_str_chr(VALUE str) { return rb_str_substr(str, 0, 1); }

static VALUE rb_str_codepoints(VALUE str) { VALUE ary = WANTARRAY("codepoints", rb_str_strlen(str)); return rb_str_enumerate_codepoints(str, ary); }
Returns an array of the Integer
ordinals of the characters in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_codepoint.to_a
.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_codepoint
.

Returns a new String containing the concatenation of self
and all objects in objects
:
s = 'foo' s.concat('bar', 'baz') # => "foobarbaz"
For each given object object
that is an Integer, the value is considered a codepoint and converted to a character before concatenation:
s = 'foo' s.concat(32, 'bar', 32, 'baz') # => "foo bar baz"
Related: String#<<

Each other_str
parameter defines a set of characters to count. The intersection of these sets defines the characters to count in str
. Any other_str
that starts with a caret ^
is negated. The sequence c1-c2
means all characters between c1 and c2. The backslash character \
can be used to escape ^
or -
and is otherwise ignored unless it appears at the end of a sequence or the end of a other_str
.

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
crypt(3)
depends on the OS it is run. The generated string lacks data portability. -
On some OSes such as Mac OS,
crypt(3)
never fails (i.e. silently ends up in unexpected results). -
On some OSes such as Mac OS,
crypt(3)
is not thread safe. -
So-called “traditional” usage of
crypt(3)
is very very very weak. According to its manpage, Linux's traditionalcrypt(3)
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
$1$
is officially abandoned by its author: see phk.freebsd.dk/sagas/md5crypt_eol.html . For another instance module$3$
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,
crypt(3)
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'
to continue using it.

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. String#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.

static VALUE str_encode(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { VALUE newstr = str; int encidx = str_transcode(argc, argv, &newstr); return encoded_dup(newstr, str, encidx); }
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
keyword arguments give details for conversion. The arguments are:
- :invalid
-
If the value is
:replace
,encode
replaces invalid byte sequences instr
with the replacement character. The default is to raise theEncoding::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 theEncoding::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
, aProc
, aMethod
, 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.

returns the indexth byte as an integer.
static VALUE rb_str_grapheme_clusters(VALUE str) { VALUE ary = WANTARRAY("grapheme_clusters", rb_str_strlen(str)); return rb_str_enumerate_grapheme_clusters(str, ary); }
Returns an array of grapheme clusters in str. This is a shorthand for str.each_grapheme_cluster.to_a
.
If a block is given, which is a deprecated form, works the same as each_grapheme_cluster
.
static VALUE rb_str_gsub(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { return str_gsub(argc, argv, str, 0); }
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. Similarly, \&
, \'
, \`
, and +
correspond to special variables, $&
, $'
, $`
, and $+
, respectively. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) \0
is the same as \&
. \\
is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash. Note that, 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. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) The value returned by the block will be substituted for the match on each call.
When neither a block nor a second argument is supplied, an Enumerator
is returned.
"hello".gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*') #=> "h*ll*" "hello".gsub(/([aeiou])/, '<\1>') #=> "h<e>ll<o>" "hello".gsub(/./) {|s| s.ord.to_s + ' '} #=> "104 101 108 108 111 " "hello".gsub(/(?<foo>[aeiou])/, '{\k<foo>}') #=> "h{e}ll{o}" 'hello'.gsub(/[eo]/, 'e' => 3, 'o' => '*') #=> "h3ll*"
Note that a string literal consumes backslashes. (See syntax/literals.rdoc for details on string literals.) Back-references are typically preceded by an additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference \&
in replacement
with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write: "..\\&.."
. If you want to write a non-back-reference string \&
in replacement
, you need first to escape the backslash to prevent this method from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them: "..\\\\&.."
. You may want to use the block form to avoid a lot of backslashes.
static VALUE rb_str_gsub_bang(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { str_modify_keep_cr(str); return str_gsub(argc, argv, str, 1); }
Performs the substitutions of String#gsub
in place, returning str, or nil

is given, the search begins at index offset
:
'foo'.match?('f', 1) # => false 'foo'.match?('o', 1) # => true
Returns the successor to self
. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters.
The first character to be incremented is the rightmost alphanumeric: or, if no alphanumerics, the rightmost character:
'THX1138'.succ # => "THX1139" '<<koala>>'.succ # => "<<koalb>>" '***'.succ # => '**+'
The successor to a digit is another digit, “carrying” to the next-left character for a “rollover” from 9 to 0, and prepending another digit if necessary:
'00'.succ # => "01" '09'.succ # => "10" '99'.succ # => "100"
The successor to a letter is another letter of the same case, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another same-case letter if necessary:
'aa'.succ # => "ab" 'az'.succ # => "ba" 'zz'.succ # => "aaa" 'AA'.succ # => "AB" 'AZ'.succ # => "BA" 'ZZ'.succ # => "AAA"
The successor to a non-alphanumeric character is the next character in the underlying character set's collating sequence, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another character if necessary:
s = 0.chr * 3 s # => "\x00\x00\x00" s.succ # => "\x00\x00\x01" s = 255.chr * 3 s # => "\xFF\xFF\xFF" s.succ # => "\x01\x00\x00\x00"
Carrying can occur between and among mixtures of alphanumeric characters:
s = 'zz99zz99' s.succ # => "aaa00aa00" s = '99zz99zz' s.succ # => "100aa00aa"
The successor to an empty String is a new empty String:
''.succ # => ""

in place; returns self
.
String#next!

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>> rceu lowlr

# File lib/shellwords.rb, line 224 def shellescape Shellwords.escape(self) end
Escapes str
so that it can be safely used in a Bourne shell command line.
See Shellwords.shellescape
for details.
# File lib/shellwords.rb, line 213 def shellsplit Shellwords.split(self) end
Splits str
into an array of tokens in the same way the UNIX Bourne shell does.
See Shellwords.shellsplit
for details.
Returns the count of characters (not bytes) in self
:
"\x80\u3042".length # => 2 "hello".length # => 5
String#size
is an alias for String#length
.
Related: String#bytesize
.
Returns the substring of self
specified by the arguments.
When the single Integer argument index
is given, returns the 1-character substring found in self
at offset index
:
'bar'[2] # => "r"
Counts backward from the end of self
if index
is negative:
'foo'[-3] # => "f"
Returns nil
if index
is out of range:
'foo'[3] # => nil 'foo'[-4] # => nil
When the two Integer arguments start
and length
are given, returns the substring of the given length
found in self
at offset start
:
'foo'[0, 2] # => "fo" 'foo'[0, 0] # => ""
Counts backward from the end of self
if start
is negative:
'foo'[-2, 2] # => "oo"
Special case: returns a new empty String if start
is equal to the length of self
:
'foo'[3, 2] # => ""
Returns nil
if start
is out of range:
'foo'[4, 2] # => nil 'foo'[-4, 2] # => nil
Returns the trailing substring of self
if length
is large:
'foo'[1, 50] # => "oo"
Returns nil
if length
is negative:
'foo'[0, -1] # => nil
When the single Range argument range
is given, derives start
and length
values from the given range
, and returns values as above:
-
'foo'[0..1]
is equivalent to'foo'[0, 2]
. -
'foo'[0...1]
is equivalent to'foo'[0, 1]
.
When the Regexp argument regexp
is given, and the capture
argument is 0
, returns the first matching substring found in self
, or nil
if none found:
'foo'[/o/] # => "o" 'foo'[/x/] # => nil s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/] # => "ell" s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 0] # => "ell"
If argument capture
is given and not 0
, it should be either an Integer capture group index or a String or Symbol capture group name; the method call returns only the specified capture (see Regexp Capturing):
s = 'hello there' s[/[aeiou](.)\1/, 1] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, "non_vowel"] # => "l" s[/(?<vowel>[aeiou])(?<non_vowel>[^aeiou])/, :vowel] # => "e"
If an invalid capture group index is given, nil
is returned. If an invalid capture group name is given, IndexError
is raised.
When the single String argument substring
is given, returns the substring from self
if found, otherwise nil
:
'foo'['oo'] # => "oo" 'foo'['xx'] # => nil

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.

, 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. Similarly, \&
, \'
, \`
, and +
correspond to special variables, $&
, $'
, $`
, and $+
, respectively. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) \0
is the same as \&
. \\
is interpreted as an escape, i.e., a single backslash. Note that, 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. (See regexp.rdoc for details.) The value returned by the block will be substituted for the match on each call.
"hello".sub(/[aeiou]/, '*') #=> "h*llo" "hello".sub(/([aeiou])/, '<\1>') #=> "h<e>llo" "hello".sub(/./) {|s| s.ord.to_s + ' ' } #=> "104 ello" "hello".sub(/(?<foo>[aeiou])/, '*\k<foo>*') #=> "h*e*llo" 'Is SHELL your preferred shell?'.sub(/[[:upper:]]{2,}/, ENV) #=> "Is /bin/bash your preferred shell?"
Note that a string literal consumes backslashes. (See syntax/literals.rdoc for details about string literals.) Back-references are typically preceded by an additional backslash. For example, if you want to write a back-reference \&
in replacement
with a double-quoted string literal, you need to write: "..\\&.."
. If you want to write a non-back-reference string \&
in replacement
, you need first to escape the backslash to prevent this method from interpreting it as a back-reference, and then you need to escape the backslashes again to prevent a string literal from consuming them: "..\\\\&.."
. You may want to use the block form to avoid a lot of backslashes.

VALUE rb_str_succ(VALUE orig) { VALUE str; str = rb_str_new(RSTRING_PTR(orig), RSTRING_LEN(orig)); rb_enc_cr_str_copy_for_substr(str, orig); return str_succ(str); }
Returns the successor to self
. The successor is calculated by incrementing characters.
The first character to be incremented is the rightmost alphanumeric: or, if no alphanumerics, the rightmost character:
'THX1138'.succ # => "THX1139" '<<koala>>'.succ # => "<<koalb>>" '***'.succ # => '**+'
The successor to a digit is another digit, “carrying” to the next-left character for a “rollover” from 9 to 0, and prepending another digit if necessary:
'00'.succ # => "01" '09'.succ # => "10" '99'.succ # => "100"
The successor to a letter is another letter of the same case, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another same-case letter if necessary:
'aa'.succ # => "ab" 'az'.succ # => "ba" 'zz'.succ # => "aaa" 'AA'.succ # => "AB" 'AZ'.succ # => "BA" 'ZZ'.succ # => "AAA"
The successor to a non-alphanumeric character is the next character in the underlying character set's collating sequence, carrying to the next-left character for a rollover, and prepending another character if necessary:
s = 0.chr * 3 s # => "\x00\x00\x00" s.succ # => "\x00\x00\x01" s = 255.chr * 3 s # => "\xFF\xFF\xFF" s.succ # => "\x01\x00\x00\x00"
Carrying can occur between and among mixtures of alphanumeric characters:
s = 'zz99zz99' s.succ # => "aaa00aa00" s = '99zz99zz' s.succ # => "100aa00aa"
The successor to an empty String is a new empty String:
''.succ # => ""
String#next
is an alias for String#succ
.
static VALUE rb_str_succ_bang(VALUE str) { rb_str_modify(str); str_succ(str); return str; }
Equivalent to String#succ

Returns a basic n-bit checksum of the characters in str, where n is the optional Integer
parameter, defaulting to 16. The result is simply the sum of the binary value of each byte in str modulo 2**n - 1
. This is not a particularly good checksum.

static VALUE rb_str_tr(VALUE str, VALUE src, VALUE repl) { str = str_duplicate(rb_cString, str); tr_trans(str, src, repl, 0); return str; }
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" "hello".tr('^aeiou', '*') #=> "*e**o"
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" "hello-world".tr("a\\-eo", "*") #=> "h*ll**w*rld" "hello\r\nworld".tr("\r", "") #=> "hello\nworld" "hello\r\nworld".tr("\\r", "") #=> "hello\r\nwold" "hello\r\nworld".tr("\\\r", "") #=> "hello\nworld" "X['\\b']".tr("X\\", "") #=> "['b']" "X['\\b']".tr("X-\\]", "") #=> "'b'"

static VALUE rb_str_unicode_normalize(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { return unicode_normalize_common(argc, argv, str, id_normalize); }
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.

# File pack.rb, line 256 def unpack(fmt) Primitive.pack_unpack(fmt) end
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 String#unpack1
, Array#pack
.

# File pack.rb, line 280 def unpack1(fmt) Primitive.pack_unpack1(fmt) end
Decodes str (which may contain binary data) according to the format string, returning the first value extracted. See also String#unpack
, Array#pack
.
Contrast with String#unpack
:
"abc \0\0abc \0\0".unpack('A6Z6') #=> ["abc", "abc "] "abc \0\0abc \0\0".unpack1('A6Z6') #=> "abc"
In that case data would be lost but often it's the case that the array only holds one value, especially when unpacking binary data. For instance:
“xffx00x00x00”.unpack(“l”) #=> [255] “xffx00x00x00”.unpack1(“l”) #=> 255
Thus unpack1 is convenient, makes clear the intention and signals the expected return value to those reading the code.
static VALUE rb_str_upcase(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { rb_encoding *enc; OnigCaseFoldType flags = ONIGENC_CASE_UPCASE; VALUE ret; flags = check_case_options(argc, argv, flags); enc = str_true_enc(str); if (case_option_single_p(flags, enc, str)) { ret = rb_str_new(RSTRING_PTR(str), RSTRING_LEN(str)); str_enc_copy(ret, str); upcase_single(ret); } else if (flags&ONIGENC_CASE_ASCII_ONLY) { ret = rb_str_new(0, RSTRING_LEN(str)); rb_str_ascii_casemap(str, ret, &flags, enc); } else { ret = rb_str_casemap(str, &flags, enc); } return ret; }
Returns a copy of str with all lowercase letters replaced with their uppercase counterparts.
See String#downcase
for meaning of options
and use with different encodings.
"hEllO".upcase #=> "HELLO"
static VALUE rb_str_upcase_bang(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE str) { rb_encoding *enc; OnigCaseFoldType flags = ONIGENC_CASE_UPCASE; flags = check_case_options(argc, argv, flags); str_modify_keep_cr(str); enc = str_true_enc(str); if (case_option_single_p(flags, enc, str)) { if (upcase_single(str)) flags |= ONIGENC_CASE_MODIFIED; } else if (flags&ONIGENC_CASE_ASCII_ONLY) rb_str_ascii_casemap(str, str, &flags, enc); else str_shared_replace(str, rb_str_casemap(str, &flags, enc)); if (ONIGENC_CASE_MODIFIED&flags) return str; return Qnil; }
Upcases the contents of str, returning nil
if no changes were made.
See String#downcase
for meaning of options
and use with different encodings.
static VALUE rb_str_upto(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE beg) { VALUE end, exclusive; rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", &end, &exclusive); RETURN_ENUMERATOR(beg, argc, argv); return rb_str_upto_each(beg, end, RTEST(exclusive), str_upto_i, Qnil); }
With a block given, calls the block with each String value returned by successive calls to String#succ
; the first value is self
, the next is self.succ
, and so on; the sequence terminates when value other_string
is reached; returns self
:
'a8'.upto('b6') {|s| print s, ' ' } # => "a8"
Output:
a8 a9 b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5 b6
If argument exclusive
is given as a truthy object, the last value is omitted:
'a8'.upto('b6', true) {|s| print s, ' ' } # => "a8"
Output:
a8 a9 b0 b1 b2 b3 b4 b5
If other_string
would not be reached, does not call the block:
'25'.upto('5') {|s| fail s } 'aa'.upto('a') {|s| fail s }
With no block given, returns a new Enumerator:
'a8'.upto('b6') # => #<Enumerator: "a8":upto("b6")>
static VALUE rb_str_valid_encoding_p(VALUE str) { int cr = rb_enc_str_coderange(str); return cr == ENC_CODERANGE_BROKEN ? Qfalse : Qtrue; }
Returns true for a string which is encoded correctly.
"\xc2\xa1".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding? #=> true "\xc2".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding? #=> false "\x80".force_encoding("UTF-8").valid_encoding? #=> false
