BytesConverter

Gem converting Kilobytes, Megabytes and Gigabytes into bytes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bytes_converter'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install bytes_converter

Usage

first:

require "bytes_converter"

Converting strings to bytes:

BytesConverter::convert "some string" # --> Float

where "some string" can be anything like in these examples:

BytesConverter::convert "12.3M" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3" # --> 12.3 (no unit means bytes)
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 kilo bytes" # --> 12595.2
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 Megabytes" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 m" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 k" # --> 12595.2
BytesConverter::convert "12.3 bk" # --> 0.0 (b is not recognized)
BytesConverter::convert "12,3m" # --> 12897484.8
BytesConverter::convert "123" # --> 123

You can add new unit as a hash. Let's say you want OrangeBytes unit:

orange = {"o" => 2}
BytesConverter::add_unit orange

... and remove it with:

BytesConverter::remove_unit "o"

To get all available units:

BytesConverter::get_units # --> Hash
