+# scanf for Ruby
+#
+#--
+# $Release Version: 1.1.2 $
+# $Revision$
+# $Id$
+# $Author$
+#++
+#
+# == Description
+#
+# scanf is an implementation of the C function scanf(3), modified as necessary
+# for ruby compatibility.
+#
+# the methods provided are String#scanf, IO#scanf, and
+# Kernel#scanf. Kernel#scanf is a wrapper around STDIN.scanf. IO#scanf
+# can be used on any IO stream, including file handles and sockets.
+# scanf can be called either with or without a block.
+#
+# Scanf scans an input string or stream according to a <b>format</b>, as
+# described below in Conversions, and returns an array of matches between
+# the format and the input. The format is defined in a string, and is
+# similar (though not identical) to the formats used in Kernel#printf and
+# Kernel#sprintf.
+#
+# The format may contain <b>conversion specifiers</b>, which tell scanf
+# what form (type) each particular matched substring should be converted
+# to (e.g., decimal integer, floating point number, literal string,
+# etc.) The matches and conversions take place from left to right, and
+# the conversions themselves are returned as an array.
+#
+# The format string may also contain characters other than those in the
+# conversion specifiers. White space (blanks, tabs, or newlines) in the
+# format string matches any amount of white space, including none, in
+# the input. Everything else matches only itself.
+#
+# Scanning stops, and scanf returns, when any input character fails to
+# match the specifications in the format string, or when input is
+# exhausted, or when everything in the format string has been
+# matched. All matches found up to the stopping point are returned in
+# the return array (or yielded to the block, if a block was given).
+#
+#
+# == Basic usage
+#
+# require 'scanf'
+#
+# # String#scanf and IO#scanf take a single argument, the format string
+# array = a_string.scanf("%d%s")
+# array = an_io.scanf("%d%s")
+#
+# # Kernel#scanf reads from STDIN
+# array = scanf("%d%s")
+#
+# == Block usage
+#
+# When called with a block, scanf keeps scanning the input, cycling back
+# to the beginning of the format string, and yields a new array of
+# conversions to the block every time the format string is matched
+# (including partial matches, but not including complete failures). The
+# actual return value of scanf when called with a block is an array
+# containing the results of all the executions of the block.
+#
+# str = "123 abc 456 def 789 ghi"
+# str.scanf("%d%s") { |num,str| [ num * 2, str.upcase ] }
+# # => [[246, "ABC"], [912, "DEF"], [1578, "GHI"]]
+#
+# == Conversions
+#
+# The single argument to scanf is a format string, which generally
+# includes one or more conversion specifiers. Conversion specifiers
+# begin with the percent character ('%') and include information about
+# what scanf should next scan for (string, decimal number, single
+# character, etc.).
+#
+# There may be an optional maximum field width, expressed as a decimal
+# integer, between the % and the conversion. If no width is given, a
+# default of `infinity' is used (with the exception of the %c specifier;
+# see below). Otherwise, given a field width of <em>n</em> for a given
+# conversion, at most <em>n</em> characters are scanned in processing
+# that conversion. Before conversion begins, most conversions skip
+# white space in the input string; this white space is not counted
+# against the field width.
+#
+# The following conversions are available.
+#
+# [%]
+# Matches a literal `%'. That is, `%%' in the format string matches a
+# single input `%' character. No conversion is done, and the resulting
+# '%' is not included in the return array.
+#
+# [d]
+# Matches an optionally signed decimal integer.
+#
+# [u]
+# Same as d.
+#
+# [i]
+# Matches an optionally signed integer. The integer is read in base
+# 16 if it begins with `0x' or `0X', in base 8 if it begins with `0',
+# and in base 10 other- wise. Only characters that correspond to the
+# base are recognized.
+#
+# [o]
+# Matches an optionally signed octal integer.
+#
+# [x, X]
+# Matches an optionally signed hexadecimal integer,
+#
+# [a, e, f, g, A, E, F, G]
+# Matches an optionally signed floating-point number.
+#
+# [s]
+# Matches a sequence of non-white-space character. The input string stops at
+# white space or at the maximum field width, whichever occurs first.
+#
+# [c]
+# Matches a single character, or a sequence of <em>n</em> characters if a
+# field width of <em>n</em> is specified. The usual skip of leading white
+# space is suppressed. To skip white space first, use an explicit space in
+# the format.
+#
+# [[]
+# Matches a nonempty sequence of characters from the specified set
+# of accepted characters. The usual skip of leading white space is
+# suppressed. This bracketed sub-expression is interpreted exactly like a
+# character class in a Ruby regular expression. (In fact, it is placed as-is
+# in a regular expression.) The matching against the input string ends with
+# the appearance of a character not in (or, with a circumflex, in) the set,
+# or when the field width runs out, whichever comes first.
+#
+# === Assignment suppression
+#
+# To require that a particular match occur, but without including the result
+# in the return array, place the <b>assignment suppression flag</b>, which is
+# the star character ('*'), immediately after the leading '%' of a format
+# specifier (just before the field width, if any).
+#
+# == scanf for Ruby compared with scanf in C
+#
+# scanf for Ruby is based on the C function scanf(3), but with modifications,
+# dictated mainly by the underlying differences between the languages.
+#
+# === Unimplemented flags and specifiers
+#
+# * The only flag implemented in scanf for Ruby is '<tt>*</tt>' (ignore
+# upcoming conversion). Many of the flags available in C versions of
+# scanf(3) have to do with the type of upcoming pointer arguments, and are
+# meaningless in Ruby.
+#
+# * The <tt>n</tt> specifier (store number of characters consumed so far in
+# next pointer) is not implemented.
+#
+# * The <tt>p</tt> specifier (match a pointer value) is not implemented.
+#
+# === Altered specifiers
+#
+# [o, u, x, X]
+# In scanf for Ruby, all of these specifiers scan for an optionally signed
+# integer, rather than for an unsigned integer like their C counterparts.
+#
+# === Return values
+#
+# scanf for Ruby returns an array of successful conversions, whereas
+# scanf(3) returns the number of conversions successfully
+# completed. (See below for more details on scanf for Ruby's return
+# values.)
+#
+# == Return values
+#
+# Without a block, scanf returns an array containing all the conversions
+# it has found. If none are found, scanf will return an empty array. An
+# unsuccessful match is never ignored, but rather always signals the end
+# of the scanning operation. If the first unsuccessful match takes place
+# after one or more successful matches have already taken place, the
+# returned array will contain the results of those successful matches.
+#
+# With a block scanf returns a 'map'-like array of transformations from
+# the block -- that is, an array reflecting what the block did with each
+# yielded result from the iterative scanf operation. (See "Block
+# usage", above.)
+#
+# == Current limitations and bugs
+#
+# When using IO#scanf under Windows, make sure you open your files in
+# binary mode:
+#
+# File.open("filename", "rb")
+#
+# so that scanf can keep track of characters correctly.
+#
+# Support for character classes is reasonably complete (since it
+# essentially piggy-backs on Ruby's regular expression handling of
+# character classes), but users are advised that character class testing
+# has not been exhaustive, and that they should exercise some caution
+# in using any of the more complex and/or arcane character class
+# idioms.

+module Scanf
+ # :stopdoc:
+
+ # ==Technical notes
+ #
+ # ===Rationale behind scanf for Ruby
+ #
+ # The impetus for a scanf implementation in Ruby comes chiefly from the fact
+ # that existing pattern matching operations, such as Regexp#match and
+ # String#scan, return all results as strings, which have to be converted to
+ # integers or floats explicitly in cases where what's ultimately wanted are
+ # integer or float values.
+ #
+ # ===Design of scanf for Ruby
+ #
+ # scanf for Ruby is essentially a <format string>-to-<regular
+ # expression> converter.
+ #
+ # When scanf is called, a FormatString object is generated from the
+ # format string ("%d%s...") argument. The FormatString object breaks the
+ # format string down into atoms ("%d", "%5f", "blah", etc.), and from
+ # each atom it creates a FormatSpecifier object, which it
+ # saves.
+ #
+ # Each FormatSpecifier has a regular expression fragment and a "handler"
+ # associated with it. For example, the regular expression fragment
+ # associated with the format "%d" is "([-+]?\d+)", and the handler
+ # associated with it is a wrapper around String#to_i. scanf itself calls
+ # FormatString#match, passing in the input string. FormatString#match
+ # iterates through its FormatSpecifiers; for each one, it matches the
+ # corresponding regular expression fragment against the string. If
+ # there's a match, it sends the matched string to the handler associated
+ # with the FormatSpecifier.
+ #
+ # Thus, to follow up the "%d" example: if "123" occurs in the input
+ # string when a FormatSpecifier consisting of "%d" is reached, the "123"
+ # will be matched against "([-+]?\d+)", and the matched string will be
+ # rendered into an integer by a call to to_i.
+ #
+ # The rendered match is then saved to an accumulator array, and the
+ # input string is reduced to the post-match substring. Thus the string
+ # is "eaten" from the left as the FormatSpecifiers are applied in
+ # sequence. (This is done to a duplicate string; the original string is
+ # not altered.)
+ #
+ # As soon as a regular expression fragment fails to match the string, or
+ # when the FormatString object runs out of FormatSpecifiers, scanning
+ # stops and results accumulated so far are returned in an array.
