at(position)
public
If you pass a single Fixnum, returns a substring of one character at that position. The first character of the string is at position 0, the next at position 1, and so on. If a range is supplied, a substring containing characters at offsets given by the range is returned. In both cases, if an offset is negative, it is counted from the end of the string. Returns nil if the initial offset falls outside the string. Returns an empty string if the beginning of the range is greater than the end of the string.
str = "hello" str.at(0) #=> "h" str.at(1..3) #=> "ell" str.at(-2) #=> "l" str.at(-2..-1) #=> "lo" str.at(5) #=> nil str.at(5..-1) #=> ""
If a Regexp is given, the matching portion of the string is returned. If a String is given, that given string is returned if it occurs in the string. In both cases, nil is returned if there is no match.
str = "hello" str.at(/lo/) #=> "lo" str.at(/ol/) #=> nil str.at("lo") #=> "lo" str.at("ol") #=> nil
