no Enumerator#[] ?

Try "ab\r\nc".lines.to_a[0].

Perhaps it does. Why should it have to convert the whole enumerable to
an array, if it only needs to calculate 0..index? Of course, it might
be very inefficient to keep asking for lines that way,
nonetheless... ?

if you want to get one or two first elements from Enumerator (or other
Enumerables), you can call
Enumerable#take

"ab\r\nc".lines.take(1) => ["ab\r\n"]
"ab\r\nc".lines.take(2) => ["ab\r\n", "c"]

Well this is ruby...so add away!

if you want to get one or two first elements from Enumerator (or other
Enumerables), you can call
Enumerable#take

"ab\r\nc".lines.take(1) => ["ab\r\n"]
"ab\r\nc".lines.take(2) => ["ab\r\n", "c"]

...or

results = "ab\ncde\nfgh".lines.first(2)

By the way, I don't think there is ever an occasion to write "\r\n" in
ruby. As far as I know, you are going to end up with either:

1) "\r\n" - Unix, Mac
2) "\r\r\n" - Windows

..neither of which is correct.

Enumerators may not be rewindable, so [], which would presumably
provide random access to the values returned by the Enumerator may not
be all that reasonable. On the other hand, any Enumerator for which
rewind is usable also could support [], though any general
implementation using rewind and each would be fairly inefficient.

What you might need is stringscanner
It will advanced the scan one call at a time.

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/strscan/rdoc/classes/StringScanner.html

irb(main):035:0> s = "one\ntwo\r\nthree\r\nfour\nfive"
=> "one\ntwo\r\nthree\r\nfour\nfive"

irb(main):036:0> word = StringScanner.new s
=> #<StringScanner 0/25 @ "one\nt...">

irb(main):037:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ )
=> "one\n"
irb(main):038:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ )
=> "two\r\n"
irb(main):039:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ )
=> "three\r\n"
irb(main):040:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ )
=> "four\n"
irb(main):041:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ )
=> nil

irb(main):042:0> word = StringScanner.new s
=> #<StringScanner 0/25 @ "one\nt...">
irb(main):043:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ ).chomp
=> "one"
irb(main):044:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ ).chomp
=> "two"
irb(main):045:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ ).chomp
=> "three"
irb(main):046:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ ).chomp
=> "four"
irb(main):047:0> word.scan( /\w+\s+/ ).chomp
NoMethodError: private method `chomp' called for nil:NilClass
from (irb):47
from :0

chomp doesn't line being passed nil, test for it before calling =)


you can use reg-ex to split the string into an array and then walk it.

irb(main):013:0> s = "one\ntwo\r\nthree\r\nfour\nfive"
=> "one\ntwo\n\rthree\r\nfour\rfive"

irb(main):014:0> s.split( /\s+/ ).each { |x| puts x }
one
two
three
four
five
=> ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five"]
