Instance Method Details

#strip_heredoc ⇒ Object

Strips indentation in heredocs.

For example in

if options[:usage]
  puts "    This command does such and such.\n\n    Supported options are:\n      -h         This message\n      ...\n  USAGE\nend\n".strip_heredoc

the user would see the usage message aligned against the left margin.

Technically, it looks for the least indented non-empty line in the whole string, and removes that amount of leading whitespace.
