From: "shevegen (markus heiler)" Date: 2012-05-20T16:13:52+09:00 Subject: [ruby-core:45146] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6444] alias for String#index Issue #6444 has been updated by shevegen (markus heiler). #find already exists in Enumerable. I don't think it is a good choice. #pos is not really a proper english word. You probably meant #position. You can however always extend class String on your own and add these methods. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6444: alias for String#index https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/6444#change-26725 Author: botp (bot pena) Status: Feedback Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 2.0.0 would be nice if there is an alias for String#index possible names: String#find String#search String#pos -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
