Class Method Details
.binary?(file) ⇒ Boolean
Returns whether or not file
is a binary non-image file, i.e. executable, shared object, ect. Note that this is NOT guaranteed to be 100% accurate. It performs a “best guess” based on a simple test of the first File.blksize
characters.
Example:
File.binary?('somefile.exe') # => true
File.binary?('somefile.txt') # => false
– Based on code originally provided by Ryan Davis (which, in turn, is based on Perl’s -B switch).

.image?(file) ⇒ Boolean
Returns whether or not the file is an image. Only JPEG, PNG, BMP and GIF are checked against.
This method does some simple read and extension checks. For a version that is more robust, but which depends on a 3rd party C library (and is difficult to build on MS Windows), see the ‘filemagic’ library.
Examples:
File.image?('somefile.jpg') # => true
File.image?('somefile.txt') # => false
– The approach I used here is based on information found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming)

# File 'lib/ptools.rb', line 41 def self.image?(file) bool = IMAGE_EXT.include?(File.extname(file).downcase) # Match ext bool = bmp?(file) || jpg?(file) || png?(file) || gif?(file) # Check data bool end |
.middle(filename, from = 10, to = 20) ⇒ Object
In block form, yields line from
up to line to
. In non-block form returns an Array of lines from from
to to
.

.nl_convert(old_file, new_file = old_file, platform = 'dos') ⇒ Object
Converts a text file from one OS platform format to another, ala ‘dos2unix’. The possible values for platform
include:
-
MS Windows -> dos, windows, win32, mswin
-
Unix/BSD -> unix, linux, bsd
-
Mac -> mac, macintosh, apple, osx
Note that this method is only valid for an ftype of “file”. Otherwise a TypeError will be raised. If an invalid format value is received, an ArgumentError is raised.

.null ⇒ Object Also known as: null_device
Returns the name of the null device (aka bitbucket) on your platform.
Examples:
# On Linux
File.null # => '/dev/null'
# On MS Windows
File.null # => 'NUL'
– The values I used here are based on information from en.wikipedia.org/wiki//dev/null

# File 'lib/ptools.rb', line 60 def self.null case RbConfig::CONFIG['host_os'] when /mswin|win32|msdos|cygwin|mingw|windows/i 'NUL' when /amiga/i 'NIL:' when /openvms/i 'NL:' else '/dev/null' end end |
.sparse?(file) ⇒ Boolean
Returns whether or not file
is a sparse file.
A sparse file is a any file where its size is greater than the number of 512k blocks it consumes, i.e. its apparent and actual file size is not the same.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file for more information.

# File 'lib/ptools.rb', line 408 def self.sparse?(file) stats = File.stat(file) stats.size > stats.blocks * 512 end |
.tail(filename, num_lines = 10) ⇒ Object
In block form, yields the last num_lines
of file filename
. In non-block form, it returns the lines as an array.
Note that this method slurps the entire file, so I don’t recommend it for very large files. Also note that ‘tail -f’ functionality is not present. See the ‘file-tail’ library for that.
Example:
File.tail('somefile.txt') # => ['This is line7', 'This is line8', ...]
258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 |
# File 'lib/ptools.rb', line 258 def self.tail(filename, num_lines=10) if block_given? IO.readlines(filename).reverse[0..num_lines-1].reverse.each{ |line| yield line } else IO.readlines(filename).reverse[0..num_lines-1].reverse end end |
.touch(filename) ⇒ Object
Changes the access and modification time if present, or creates a 0 byte file filename
if it doesn’t already exist.
336 337 338 339 340 341 342 343 344 |
# File 'lib/ptools.rb', line 336 def self.touch(filename) if File.exist?(filename) time = Time.now File.utime(time, time, filename) else File.open(filename, 'w'){} end self end |
.wc(filename, option = 'all') ⇒ Object
With no arguments, returns a four element array consisting of the number of bytes, characters, words and lines in filename, respectively.
Valid options are ‘bytes’, ‘characters’ (or just ‘chars’), ‘words’ and ‘lines’.

.whereis(program, path = ENV['PATH']) ⇒ Object
Returns an array of each program
within path
, or nil if it cannot be found.
On Windows, it looks for executables ending with the suffixes defined in your PATHEXT environment variable, or ‘.exe’, ‘.bat’ and ‘.com’ if that isn’t defined, which you may optionally include in program
.
Examples:
File.whereis('ruby') # => ['/usr/bin/ruby', '/usr/local/bin/ruby']
File.whereis('foo') # => nil

Also, if # the program name doesn't have an extension, try them all. if MSWINDOWS file = file.tr("\\", "/") file += WIN32EXTS if File.extname(program).empty? end found = Dir[file].first # Convert all forward slashes to backslashes if supported if found && File.executable?(found) && !File.directory?(found) found.tr!(File::SEPARATOR, File::ALT_SEPARATOR) if File::ALT_SEPARATOR paths << found end } paths.empty? ? nil : paths.uniq end |
.which(program, path = ENV['PATH']) ⇒ Object
Looks for the first occurrence of program
within path
.
On Windows, it looks for executables ending with the suffixes defined in your PATHEXT environment variable, or ‘.exe’, ‘.bat’ and ‘.com’ if that isn’t defined, which you may optionally include in program

Returns nil if not found.
