StringScanner#rest

() -> ::String

rest → target_substring

static VALUE
strscan_rest(VALUE self)
{
    struct strscanner *p;

    GET_SCANNER(self, p);
    if (EOS_P(p)) {
        return str_new(p, "", 0);
    }
    return extract_range(p, p->curr, S_LEN(p));
}

Returns the ‘rest’ of the stored string (all after the current position), which is the target substring:

Example

scanner = StringScanner.new('foobarbaz')
scanner.rest # => "foobarbaz"
scanner.pos = 3
scanner.rest # => "barbaz"
scanner.terminate
scanner.rest # => ""
