# module Gem::Text

A collection of text-wrangling methods

### Public Instance Methods

clean_text (text)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/text.rb, line 10
    def clean_text(text)
      text.gsub(/[\000-\b\v-\f\016-\037\177]/, ".")
    end

Remove any non-printable characters and make the text suitable for printing.

format_text (text, wrap, indent=0)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/text.rb, line 24
    def format_text(text, wrap, indent=0)
      result = []
      work = clean_text(text)

      while work.length > wrap do
        if work =~ /^(.{0,#{wrap}})[ \n]/
          result << $1.rstrip
          work.slice!(0, $&.length)
        else
          result << work.slice!(0, wrap)
        end
      end

      result << work if work.length.nonzero?
      result.join("\n").gsub(/^/, " " * indent)
    end

Wraps `text` to `wrap` characters and optionally indents by `indent` characters

levenshtein_distance (str1, str2)
Source

    # File lib/rubygems/text.rb, line 54
    def levenshtein_distance(str1, str2)
      n = str1.length
      m = str2.length
      return m if n.zero?
      return n if m.zero?

      d = (0..m).to_a
      x = nil

      # to avoid duplicating an enumerable object, create it outside of the loop
      str2_codepoints = str2.codepoints

      str1.each_codepoint.with_index(1) do |char1, i|
        j = 0
        while j < m
          cost = char1 == str2_codepoints[j] ? 0 : 1
          x = min3(
            d[j + 1] + 1, # insertion
            i + 1,      # deletion
            d[j] + cost # substitution
          )
          d[j] = i
          i = x

          j += 1
        end
        d[m] = x
      end

      x
    end

Returns a value representing the “cost” of transforming str1 into str2 Vendored version of DidYouMean::Levenshtein.distance from the ruby/did_you_mean gem @ 1.4.0 github.com/ruby/did_you_mean/blob/2ddf39b874808685965dbc47d344cf6c7651807c/lib/did_you_mean/levenshtein.rb#L7-L37

Source

    def truncate_text(text, description, max_length = 100_000)
      raise ArgumentError, "max_length must be positive" unless max_length > 0
