#class_name_to_filename(include_extension = true) ⇒ String

Converts a String representing a class (i.e. “MyGreatClass”) to a Ruby filename which implements the class (i.e. “my_great_class.rb”).

Parameters:

  • include_extension (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Whether to add '.rb' extension

Returns:

  • (String) —

    Filename which implements the class name

#convert_to_value ⇒ Object

depending on what the String represents. It can successfully convert floating point numbers in both fixed and scientific notation, integers in hexadecimal notation, and Arrays. If it can’t be converted into any of the above then the original String is returned.

Returns:

  • Converts the String into either a Float, Integer, or Array

Displays a String containing binary data in a human readable format by converting each byte to the hex representation.

Parameters:

  • word_size (Integer) (defaults to: 1) —

    How many bytes compose a word. Words are grouped together without spaces in between

  • words_per_line (Integer) (defaults to: 16) —

    The number of words to display on a single formatted line

  • word_separator (String) (defaults to: ' ') —

    The string to place between words

  • indent (Integer) (defaults to: 0) —

    The amount of spaces to put in front of each formatted line

  • show_address (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Whether to show the hex address of the first byte in the formatted output

  • address_separator (String) (defaults to: ': ') —

    The string to put after the hex address. Only used if show_address is true.

  • show_ascii (Boolean) (defaults to: true) —

    Whether to interpret the binary data as ASCII characters and display the printable characters to the right of the formatted line

  • ascii_separator (String) (defaults to: ' ') —

    The string to put between the formatted line and the ASCII characters. Only used if show_ascii is true.

  • unprintable_character (String) (defaults to: ' ') —

    The string to output when data in the binary String does not result in a printable ASCII character. Only used if show_ascii is true.

  • line_separator (String) (defaults to: "\n") —

    The string used to end a line. Normaly newline.
