String::Mask
¶ ↑
DESCRIPTION¶ ↑
Mask provides a string utility to manipulate strings in logicomathematical manner, ie. add, subtract, xor, etc.
SYNOPSIS¶ ↑
Mask objects can be created explicitly via new.
m1 = String::Mask.new("abc..123", '.') m2 = String::Mask.new("ab..789.", '.') m1 - m2 #=> "....789."
But the String#mask
extension is much easier to use.
m1 = "abc..123".mask('.') m2 = "ab..789.".mask('.') m1 * m2 #=> "ab..789."
The second operand can be a normal String
. Mask will assume it repesents another mask akin to the first.
"abc..123".mask('.') + "ab..789." #=> "abc.7893"
INSTALL¶ ↑
To install with RubyGems simply open a console and type:
$ gem install strmask
