#I’m a ruby newbie, and I’m searching for a way to iterate
#every char in
#a string, but I cannot find any easy way. My problem is to
#look at every
#char in a string and match it with some known letter.
#I use the String#each_byte iterator for now, but it still be a poor
#solution 
me too, i use each_byte
irb(main):098:0> “test”.each_byte{|b| puts(b.to_s+" → "+b.chr) }
116 → t
101 → e
115 → s
116 → t
=> “test”
i like each_byte when i access like C or raw…
maybe you want something like #each_char
prompt>cat a1.rb
x=“test\ntest2”
class String
def each_char
each_byte do |b|
yield b.chr
end
end
end
x.each_char {|c| puts c}
prompt>ruby a1.rb
t
e
s
t
t
e
s
t

hth.
