Because you have to know about it. Thanks for that one.  "I learned something today[tm]“ But the real things to learn are the Method Finder and the browser.  Adding a lot of names that are known to those that know some scripting language du jour, but are incomprehensible to me, and no doubt many others, is not doing anything for anybody, except trying to be pointlessly cool.  Trying to encourage programmers to use the ability of the system to self-introspect and self-document is giving them general skills they can build upon.  So a project to improve the UI so that programmers are led to tools they can use for discovery seems worth-while to me, while adding yet more short-hand to hand-hold the ignorant isn't helping, IMHO. A modified Finder that had named fields for the formation of the "example" would go along way.  I went a long time without knowing how to work with this.  its a case of you-don't-know-what-you-don't-know cheers -ben Norbert Alexandre On Feb 24, 2014, at 2:30 PM, Daniela Meneses <daniela11...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi to all, > > As you may know I'm working on in some improvements for the String class. Until now I implemented some missing tests. Right now I'm looking forward to add new methods that could be useful based on Ruby API (http://www.ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.0/String.html). These are a few of the methods that I'm planning to implement: > >       • chomp(separator=$/) -> new_str >       • chop() -> new_str >       • ljust(integer, padstr='') ->new_str >       • next -> new_str >       • partition(sep) -> [head, sep, tail] > > Could you help to find out if these methods are already available for the String class? > > If you have any idea of new methods for the string class, will be really welcome. > > -- > Cheers, > Daniela Meneses -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel  http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;. --  best, Eliot -- best, Eliot
