Instance Method Details

#>>(filename) ⇒ Integer

The >> method writes the string content to a file securely.

This method takes a filename and uses File.secure_write to write the string’s content to that file, ensuring secure file handling practices are followed.

Parameters:

  the path to the file where the string content will be written

Returns:

• (Integer) —

  the number of bytes written to the file

def >>(filename)
  File.secure_write(filename, self)
end

#|(cmd) ⇒ String

The | method executes a shell command and returns its output.

This method takes a command string, pipes the current string to it via stdin, captures the command’s stdout, and returns the resulting output as a string.

Parameters:

• cmd (String) —

  the shell command to execute

Returns:

• (String) —

  the output of the executed command

# File 'lib/utils/irb.rb', line 867

    f.write self
    f.close_write
    return f.read
  end
