# $ fri string.split
# ----------------------------------------------------------- 
# String#split
#      str.split(pattern=$;, [limit])   => anArray
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# ----------
#      Divides str into substrings based on a delimiter, returning an 
#      array of these substrings.
# [...]
# 
# The less specific you are, the longer a lookup can take, but 
# fri's slowest
# search modes are still much faster than ri :)
# 
# Here's case-independent, nested, partial matching at work:
# 
# $ fri writer.rend
# ----------------------------------------------------- 
# PDF::Writer#render
#      render(debug = false)
# --------------------------------------------------------------
# ----------
#      Return the PDF stream as a string.

tried it on my win box, and yes! it works! very fast yet cool indeed.

btw, Mauricio, how do i troubleshoot the fri? is there a log somewhere? I have a problem with one of my linux box running ubuntu6.10, ruby1.8.5, gem0.9, and rails1.1.6. The install went fine, the fri server is running, but when i query thru fri, eg fri String#upcase, the result returns nil; in fact, all queries returns nil. tips again, pls =)

also,
:~# fastri-server
Looking for Ring server...
No Ring server found, starting my own.
fastri-server 0.0.1 (FastRI 0.1.1) listening on druby://127.0.0.1:34136
                                                 -------------->^^^^^^^

How do i make the fastri fixed to a certain port, say 12345? we're using firewalls, so the concern..

thanks and kind regards -botp
