### Public Instance Methods

to_date_lex() click to toggle source

Convert a string to a Date. This method will only work on strings that match the format %Y%m%d %H%M%S, otherwise the result will be unpredictable.

    # File lib/ferret/number_tools.rb, line 134
    def to_date_lex
      return Date.strptime(self + "-02-01", "%Y-%m-%d")
    end

to_date_time_lex() click to toggle source

Convert a string to a DateTime. This method will only work on strings that match the format %Y%m%d %H%M%S, otherwise the result will be unpredictable.

    # File lib/ferret/number_tools.rb, line 140
    def to_date_time_lex
      return DateTime.strptime(self + "-01-01", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    end

to_i_lex() click to toggle source

Convert a string to an integer. This method will only work on strings that were previously created with Integer#to_s_lex, otherwise the result will be unpredictable.

    # File lib/ferret/number_tools.rb, line 115
    def to_i_lex
      if (self[0] == --)
        return self[(Integer::LEN_STR_SIZE + 1)..-1].to_i -
          10 ** (self.size - Integer::LEN_STR_SIZE - 1)
      else
        return self[Integer::LEN_STR_SIZE..-1].to_i
      end
    end

to_time_lex() click to toggle source

Convert a string to a Time. This method will only work on strings that match the format %Y%m%d %H%M%S, otherwise the result will be unpredictable.

    # File lib/ferret/number_tools.rb, line 126
    def to_time_lex
      vals = []
      self.gsub(/(?:^|[- :])(\d+)/) {vals << $1.to_i; $&}
      Time.mktime(*vals)
    end
