Class Method Details

.absolute_path?(path, separator = File::SEPARATOR, alt_separator = File::ALT_SEPARATOR) ⇒ Boolean

we should really use Pathname#absolute? but it’s not in all the ruby versions we support and it comes down to roughly this

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def self.absolute_path?(path, separator=File::SEPARATOR, alt_separator=File::ALT_SEPARATOR)
  if alt_separator
    path_matcher = /^([a-zA-Z]:){0,1}[#{Regexp.quote alt_separator}#{Regexp.quote separator}]/
  else
    path_matcher = /^#{Regexp.quote separator}/
  end

  !!path.match(path_matcher)
end

.align_text(text, console_cols = nil, preamble = 5) ⇒ Object

Returns an aligned_string of text relative to the size of the terminal window. If a line in the string exceeds the width of the terminal window the line will be chopped off at the whitespace chacter closest to the end of the line and prepended to the next line, keeping all indentation.

The terminal size is detected by default, but custom line widths can passed. All strings will also be left aligned with 5 whitespace characters by default.
