String::Mask
<img src=“http://travis-ci.org/rubyworks/strmask.png” />
DESCRIPTION
Mask provides a string utility to manipulate strings in logicomathematical manner, ie. add, subtract, xor, etc.
SYNOPSIS
Mask objects can be created explicitly via #new.
m1 = String::Mask.new("abc..123", '.')
m2 = String::Mask.new("ab..789.", '.')
m1 - m2 #=> "....789."
But the String#mask extension is much easier to use.
m1 = "abc..123".mask('.')
m2 = "ab..789.".mask('.')
m1 * m2 #=> "ab..789."
The second operand can be a normal String. Mask will assume it repesents another mask akin to the first.
"abc..123".mask('.') + "ab..789." #=> "abc.7893"
INSTALL
To install with RubyGems simply open a console and type:
$ gem install strmask
