    def capitalize_field( str )
      str.to_s.split("-").map { |v| v.capitalize }.join("-")
    end

constantize( str ) click to toggle source

        results << yield(line)
      end
      results
    end

    # File lib/mail/utilities.rb, line 201
    def map_with_index( enum, &block )
      results = []
      enum.each_with_index do |token, i|
        results[i] = yield(token, i)
      end
      results
    end

match_to_s( obj1, obj2 ) click to toggle source

Matches two objects with their to_s values case insensitively

Example:

    obj2 = "This_is_An_object"
    obj1 = :this_IS_an_object
    match_to_s( obj1, obj2 ) #=> true

    # File lib/mail/utilities.rb, line 144
    def match_to_s( obj1, obj2 )
