Enumerable#grep_v (inversed grep)

Added by sorah (Sorah Fukumori) over 9 years ago. Updated over 9 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
-
[ruby-core:<unknown>]

Description

sometime I want to do grep -v like operation:

%w(aaa bbb ccc).reject { |x| /b/ === x } #=> ["aaa", "ccc"]

We already have Enumerable#grep, so I propose to add Enumerable#grep_v.

%w(aaa bbb ccc).grep(/b/) #=> ["bbb"]
%w(aaa bbb ccc).grep_v(/b/) #=> ["aaa", "ccc"]

Naming / Interface

This idea is mentioned at DevelopersMeeting20150408Japan by me. Matz has said "I don't disagree for the feature. So this remains naming (interface) problem."

I'm not sure grep_v is the best name for this feature; feedback are welcomed.

Ideas

  • grep_v(pattern) (the first patch)
  • grep(pattern, inverse: true)
  • grep!(pattern)
