From: Bharat Ruparel Date: 2007-02-18T06:18:29+09:00 Subject: ri usage I am trying to learn how to use ri effectively. I was looking up methods for an Array. If I type Array.methods.sort at the irb prompt, it displays a whole slew of methods. If I then type "ri Array.sort" at the command prompt then I get a brief description of it. I noticed that Array class has an "&" method. I am trying to look it up using ri as follows: ri Array.& It does not work. How do I lookup the "&" method for an Array class using ri? Another question related to ri is that if I type ri Array I get a whole lot of stuff on the Array class. It seems like the screen buffer responds to "vi" style movement keys, e.g., CTRL-F for forward one screen CTRL-B for one screen back,etc. I noticed that the documentation says "&" is an Instance method and the screen prompt waits at ":", is there any command that I can type here which will get me more info on the desired method listed such as "&" for example? Is there a brief how to guide available for using "ri"? Thanks. Bharat -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
