From: "Radosław Bułat" Date: 2009-02-03T22:20:53+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:21799] [Feature #908] Should be an easy way of reading N characters from am I/O stream Issue #908 has been updated by Rados��aw Bu��at. Reading N characters from stream is (at least for me) as natural as reading N bytes. Usecases are almost the same as for bytes but when you want operate on characters. For example you have file encoded in utf-8 and want to read first 10 characters. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/908 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
