() -> ::Enumerator[::String, self]

each_char {|c| ... } → self

each_char → enumerator

static VALUE
rb_io_each_char(VALUE io)
{
    rb_io_t *fptr;
    rb_encoding *enc;
    VALUE c;

    RETURN_ENUMERATOR(io, 0, 0);
    GetOpenFile(io, fptr);
    rb_io_check_char_readable(fptr);

    enc = io_input_encoding(fptr);
    READ_CHECK(fptr);
    while (!NIL_P(c = io_getc(fptr, enc))) {
        rb_yield(c);
    }
    return io;
}

Calls the given block with each character in the stream; returns self. See Character IO.

Example

f = File.new('t.rus')
a = []
f.each_char {|c| a << c.ord }
a # => [1090, 1077, 1089, 1090]
f.close

Returns an Enumerator if no block is given.
