RCR 111: IO subclass for string

Submitted by anonymous (Wed Jun 26 18:06:18 UTC 2002)

Abstract

This is a legacy RCR from Ruby Garden, submitted by anonymous. Matz has declared these RCRs obsolete, and asked that their authors resubmit them in the new format.

I'd like to see a sub-class of IO that used a String for internal storage.

Problem

(RCR imported from old format)

Proposal

Something like:

a = IOString::new
a.puts "Hello, world!"
str = a.string # maybe a.to_s ?
puts str
b = IOString::open(str)
str = b.gets
puts str

I use this kind of structure to store parts of files in place, for parsing later... I created my own class to do this (which was easy, since I knew exactly which methods of IO I'd be talking to), but it seems like something that belongs in the standard library.
