Example: Navigating around state
---------------------------------------
### Navigating around state
Pry allows us to pop in and out of different scopes (objects) using
the `cd` command. To view which variables and methods are available
within a particular scope we use the versatile `ls` command.

Command Shell Integration

### Command Shell Integration
A line of input that begins with a '.' will be forwarded to the
command shell. This enables us to navigate the file system, spawn
an editor, and run git and rake directly from within Pry.

present working directory into the Pry prompt and bring in (limited at this stage, sorry) file name completion.
We can also interpolate Ruby code directly into the shell by
using the normal `#{}` string interpolation syntax.
In the code below we're going to switch to `shell-mode` and use the
`gem-cd` command to enter the home directory for a gem and examine
some of the files there:
pry(main)> shell-mode
pry main:/home/john/ruby/projects/pry $ .ls
bin CHANGELOG examples lib LICENSE pkg Rakefile README.markdown TAGS test TODO wiki
pry main:/home/john/ruby/projects/pry $ gem-cd yard

In the code below we're going to switch to `shell-mode` and edit the

reload the file.
We can also interpolate Ruby code into the Shell commands. In the
pry(main)> shell-mode
pry main:/home/john/ruby/projects/pry $ .cd ~

pry main:/home/john $ .emacsclient .pryrc
pry main:/home/john $ .cat .pryrc
def hello_world
puts "hello world!"
end
pry main:/home/john $ load ".pryrc"
=> true
pry main:/home/john $ hello_world
hello world!
We can also interpolate Ruby code into the shell. In the
example below we use the shell command `cat` on a random file from the
current directory and count the number of lines in that file with
`wc`:
pry main:/home/john/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/yard-0.6.4/lib $ .cat #{Dir['*.*'].sample} | wc -l

pry main:/home/john $ .cat #{Dir['*.*'].sample} | wc -l

### Code Browsing
Code Browsing
---------------
You can browse method source code with the `show-method` command. Nearly all Ruby methods (and some C methods, with the pry-doc
gem) can have their source viewed. Code that is longer than a page is
sent through a pager (such as less), and all code is properly syntax
highlighted (even C code).
The `show-method` command accepts two syntaxes, the typical ri
`Class#method` syntax and also simply the name of a method that's in
scope. You can optionally pass the `-l` option to show-method to
include line numbers in the output.
In the following example we will enter the `Pry` class, list the
instance methods beginning with 're' and display the source code for the `rep` method:
pry(main)> cd Pry
pry(Pry):1> ls -M --grep ^re
[:re, :readline, :rep, :repl, :repl_epilogue, :repl_prologue, :retrieve_line]
pry(Pry):1> show-method rep -l
From: /home/john/ruby/projects/pry/lib/pry/pry_instance.rb @ line 143:
Number of lines: 6
143: def rep(target=TOPLEVEL_BINDING)
144: target = Pry.binding_for(target)
145: result = re(target)
146:
147: show_result(result) if should_print?
148: end
Note that we can also view C methods (from Ruby Core) using the
`pry-doc` gem; we also show off the alternate syntax for
`show-method`:
pry(main)> show-method Array#select
From: array.c in Ruby Core (C Method):

rb_ary_select(VALUE ary)

long i;
RETURN_ENUMERATOR(ary, 0, 0);
result = rb_ary_new2(RARRAY_LEN(ary));
for (i = 0; i < RARRAY_LEN(ary); i++) {
if (RTEST(rb_yield(RARRAY_PTR(ary)[i]))) {
rb_ary_push(result, rb_ary_elt(ary, i));
}
}
return result;
}

Customizing Pry

### Customizing Pry
