Subject: [ruby-core:27845] [Feature #2645] Have a method in StringScanner which returns the position in characters rather than in bytes

Issue #2645 has been updated by Yui NARUSE.

Priority changed from Normal to Low

StringScanner's pos is related to IO#pos.


Feature#1159 is also about this. (but in Japanaese)

A problem is:
  ss = StringScanner.new("������")
  ss.get_byte
  ss.char_pos #=> what is this result?

And more, I doubt the use case.
Can you tell us more detailed use case?

>the documentation for StringScanner#pos states:
>  In the 'terminated' position (i.e. the string
>  is exhausted), this value is the length of the string.

thanks, I fixed the doc.
