With the exception of StringIO hey also support infinite streams. I think the current Enumerator is best. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7440: IO#lines etc. should return Array https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7440#change-33973 Author: yhara (Yutaka HARA) Status: Open Priority: Normal Assignee: yhara (Yutaka HARA) Category: core Target version: 2.0.0 ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2012-11-26 trunk 36708) [x86_64-darwin12.2.1] String#bytes, #chars, #codepints and #lines are changed to return Array in #6670. For consistent behavior, following methods should return Array too: * ARGF.lines, chars, bytes, codepoints * IO#lines, chars, bytes, codepoints * StringIO#lines, chars, bytes, codepoints * Zlib::GzipReader#lines, bytes Please let me know if there are more. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
