Ruby Quicktips - Grep an object's available methods

★

Grep an object’s available methods

Because Object.methods returns an array, you can grep that just like in this tip about grepping anything from your enumerables.
For example, if you are looking for a particular method of an object, you can easily narrow down the results like this:

Object.methods.grep /inspect/
=> ["inspect", "pretty_inspect", "pretty_print_inspect"]

You can use HTML tags for formatting. Wrap code in <code> tags and multiple lines of code in <pre><code> tags.
