Feature #4780
Updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada) about 6 years ago
Mentioned before, in another (rejected) issue thread: http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/4615 There are a few methods, which return an array without a trailing block, or also can be iterated with a block. Such as `String#scan`. String#scan. `String#split` String#split has only one form: ```ruby str.split(pattern=$;, limit=0) -> array ``` Maybe add a iterative form, when with a block: ```ruby str.split(pattern=$;, limit=0) {|field| ... } -> str ``` If the string is very long, and I only need to play with the splitted string one by one, this will not create a useless expensive array.
