Subject: [ruby-core:94369] [Ruby master Bug#8427] gets method truncates strings longer than 255 characters in Windows 7
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 18:59:05 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <redmine.journal-80782.20190815185904.b7ecdfd837a2c063@ruby-lang.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-8427.20130520074631@ruby-lang.org
Issue #8427 has been updated by jeremyevans0 (Jeremy Evans).
Backport deleted (1.9.3: UNKNOWN, 2.0.0: UNKNOWN)
Status changed from Open to Closed
I tried using `gets` with a string with 300 characters on Windows 10, and was not able to reproduce the error (no string truncation). I tried with various versions of Ruby as far back as 1.9.3. I'm not sure if this is still a problem on Windows 7 or not with the master branch, but Windows 7 is almost out of support. If anyone is still affected by this issue, please post here and we can reopen.

Bug #8427: gets method truncates strings longer than 255 characters in Windows 7
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/8427#change-80782
* Author: jen (Jen Marsh)
* Status: Closed
* Priority: Normal
* Assignee:
* Target version:
* ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14) [x64-mingw32]
* Backport:
----------------------------------------
When using the gets method from a Windows 7 command line (or XP according to other users), long input strings are truncated to 255 characters. Here is an example of code:
puts "Enter long string"
long_string = gets
puts "size of string : #{long_string.length}"
puts "string: #{long_string}"
For input strings of length exceeding 255 characters, the entered string is always truncated to 255 characters.
