struct Char::Reader
Overview
A Char::Reader
allows iterating a String
by Chars.
As soon as you instantiate a Char::Reader
it will decode the first
char in the String
, which can be accessed by invoking #current_char
.
At this point #pos
, the current position in the string, will equal zero.
Successive calls to #next_char
return the next chars in the string,
advancing #pos
.
Note that the null character '\0'
will be returned in #current_char
when
the end is reached (as well as when the string is empty). Thus, #has_next?
will return false
only when #pos
is equal to the string's bytesize, in which
case #current_char
will always be '\0'
.
Included Modules
Defined in:
char/reader.crConstructors
-
.new(string : String, pos = 0)
Creates a reader with the specified string positioned at byte index pos.
-
.new(*, at_end string : String)
Creates a reader that will be positioned at the last char of the given string.
Instance Method Summary
-
#current_char : Char
Returns the current character.
-
#current_char_width : Int32
Returns the size of the
#current_char
(in bytes) as if it were encoded in UTF-8. - #each(&block) : Nil
-
#error : UInt8?
If there was an error decoding the current char because of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, returns the byte that produced the invalid encoding.
-
#has_next?
Returns
true
if there is a character left to read. -
#has_previous?
Returns
true
if there are characters before the current one. -
#next_char
Reads the next character in the string,
#pos
is incremented. - #peek_next_char
-
#pos : Int32
Returns the position of the current character.
-
#pos=(pos)
Sets
#pos
to pos. -
#previous_char : Char
Returns the previous character,
#pos
is decremented. -
#string : String
Returns the reader's String.

Constructor Detail
Creates a reader with the specified string positioned at byte index pos.
Creates a reader that will be positioned at the last char of the given string.
Instance Method Detail
Returns the current character.
reader = Char::Reader.new("ab")
reader.current_char # => 'a'
reader.next_char
reader.current_char # => 'b'
Returns the size of the #current_char
(in bytes) as if it were encoded in UTF-8.
reader = Char::Reader.new("aƩ")
reader.current_char_width # => 1
reader.next_char
reader.current_char_width # => 2
Yields successive characters from #string
starting from #pos
.
reader = Char::Reader.new("abc")
reader.next_char
reader.each do |c|
puts c.upcase
end
B
C
If there was an error decoding the current char because
of an invalid UTF-8 byte sequence, returns the byte
that produced the invalid encoding. Returns 0
if the char would've been
out of bounds. Otherwise returns nil
.
Returns true
if there is a character left to read.
The terminating byte '\0'
is considered a valid character
by this method.
reader = Char::Reader.new("a")
reader.has_next? # => true
reader.peek_next_char # => '\0'
Reads the next character in the string,
#pos
is incremented. Raises IndexError
if the reader is
at the end of the #string
.
reader = Char::Reader.new("ab")
reader.next_char # => 'b'
Returns the next character in the #string
without incrementing #pos
.
Raises IndexError
if the reader is at
the end of the #string
.
reader = Char::Reader.new("ab")
reader.peek_next_char # => 'b'
reader.current_char # => 'a'
Returns the position of the current character.
reader = Char::Reader.new("ab")
reader.pos # => 0
reader.next_char
reader.pos # => 1
Sets #pos
to pos.
reader = Char::Reader.new("abc")
reader.next_char
reader.next_char
reader.pos = 0
reader.current_char # => 'a'
Returns the previous character, #pos
is decremented.
Raises IndexError
if the reader is at the begining of
the #string
