Hi, I'm trying:
ruby 1.9.0 (2007-08-30 patchlevel 0) [i486-linux]
in Ubuntu.

I've realized that there is no method String#any?
Why? maybe it exists in a more recent version of 1.9?
Which would be the replacement method if not?

Thanks.

Ok I've found that in Ruby 1.9 String is no more an Enumerable (and "any?" =
is=20
defined in Enumerable module).

Right, so you just need to be specific about what you want to enumerate ove=
r:

>> "foo\nbar".lines.any? { |e| e =3D=3D "bar" }
=3D> true
>> "foo\nbar".chars.any? { |e| e =3D=3D "b" }
=3D> true
>> "foo\nbar".bytes.any? { |e| e =3D=3D 97 }
=3D> true
>> 97.chr
=3D> "a"
