Constructor Details

#new(string = '', mode = 'r+') ⇒ Object

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.

Returns a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes:

strio = StringIO.new # => #<StringIO>
strio.close

The instance should be closed when no longer needed.

Related: StringIO.open (accepts block; closes automatically).

.open(string = '', mode = 'r+') {|strio| ... } ⇒ Object

Note that mode defaults to 'r' if string is frozen.

Creates a new StringIO instance formed from string and mode; see Access Modes.

With no block, returns the new instance:

strio = StringIO.open # => #<StringIO>

With a block, calls the block with the new instance and returns the block’s value; closes the instance on block exit.

StringIO.open {|strio| p strio }
# => #<StringIO>

Related: StringIO.new.

Yields:

  • (strio)
