From: herwin@... Date: 2016-11-22T10:13:14+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:78249] [Ruby trunk Feature#12964] Add sub? and gsub? method to string class. Issue #12964 has been updated by Herwin Quarantainenet. I don't really see how this would be any different from `match?` Beside that, the semantics are a bit ambiguous. `"foo".sub(/bar/, 'x')` does work, it just doesn't replace anything because there is no match for the regex. So would `sub?` mean that we can replace it at least once, and `gsub?` that we can replace it at least twice? ---------------------------------------- Feature #12964: Add sub? and gsub? method to string class. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12964#change-61614 * Author: Lachlan Wilger * Status: Feedback * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- The sub? and gsub? method would allow you to check if you can sub or gsub the string. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
