All about one-liners with ruby.
Notes
The Ruby one-liners cookbook has it all!
Command Line Options
Using a ruby one-liner to format the ruby command line options as markdown for the table below…
ruby -h | ruby -F'  ' -ane 'puts $F[0].include?("Usage") ? "| Option | Description |\n|---|---|\n" : "| `#{$F[1]}` | #{$_.chomp.gsub($F[1],"").strip} |"'
| Option | Description | 
|---|---|
| -0[octal] | specify record separator (\0, if no argument) | 
| -a | autosplit mode with -n or -p (splits $_ into $F) | 
| -c | check syntax only | 
| -Cdirectory | cd to directory before executing your script | 
| -d | set debugging flags (set $DEBUG to true) | 
| -e 'command' | one line of script. Several -e’s allowed. Omit [programfile] | 
| -Eex[:in] | specify the default external and internal character encodings | 
| -Fpattern | split() pattern for autosplit (-a) | 
| -i[extension] | edit ARGV files in place (make backup if extension supplied) | 
| -Idirectory | specify $LOAD_PATH directory (may be used more than once) | 
| -l | enable line ending processing | 
| -n | assume ‘while gets(); … end’ loop around your script | 
| -p | assume loop like -n but print line also like sed | 
| -rlibrary | require the library before executing your script | 
| -s | enable some switch parsing for switches after script name | 
| -S | look for the script using PATH environment variable | 
| -v | print the version number, then turn on verbose mode | 
| -w | turn warnings on for your script | 
| -W[level=2\|:category] | set warning level; 0=silence, 1=medium, 2=verbose | 
| -x[directory] | strip off text before #!ruby line and perhaps cd to directory | 
| --jit | enable JIT with default options (experimental) |
