From: Shannon Fang Date: 2002-12-05T19:54:50+09:00 Subject: "methods" method Hi I tried String.methods-Kernel.methods in irb, found that most methods of String are inherited from Kernel. I don't know for methods like sub, gsub, split, strip, chomp... Are they String specific? Why they exist in Kernel? Thanks!
