Hi everyone
I wrote a simple patch for the ri Ruby documentation viewer that makes
to easier to look up ambiguous methods. Please check it out and send
or post me feedback.
Here's the link:

Rad. Please file this patch on the ruby project on rubyforge, categorize as development tools, and assign to Eric Hodel.

I had that ambiguous lookup problem yesterday!
This is great.
Here's a patch for your patch that (hopefully always) shows the version
of the gem which holds the method:
entries.each_with_index do |m, i|
version = m.path_name.split(File::SEPARATOR)[7]
STDOUT.puts "%2d %s (%s)" % [i+1, m.full_name, version]
end
Now can you make it work with qri?

Just an update. I expanded my ri patch to provide a way to browse all
the methods of a specified Ruby class in the same way.
Please see the bottom of
http://danielchoi.com/software/ri-enhanced.html
for details.
Cheers,

I don't see a patch there (created by diff), just a file.
RDoc 2 no longer uses those class names (and possibly not even that code), so you would need to adapt your file to make it work.
See http://rubyforge.org/projects/rdoc for the repository.

Yes, please do so that it can get incorporated upstream. Thanks for putting this patch together; it's solved a vexing problem for me.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I tried your patch and it work right for me, I think because the Ruby
file paths are different on OS X than on your system.
I got the following output:
spartan:~ choi$ ri find
More than one method matched your request. Type the number
of the method you want, or press Return to cancel:
1 Enumerable#find (usr)
2 Find#find (usr)
3 IRB::Locale#find (usr)
4 Pathname#find (usr)
5 Rinda::TupleBag#find (usr)
6 XML::Document#find (usr)
7 XML::Node#find (usr)
8 XML::XPath::find (usr)
9 ActiveRecord::Base::find (usr)
10 ActiveRecord::Base::find (ri)
11 ActiveRecord::Base::find (ri)
12 ActiveSupport::Callbacks::CallbackChain#find (ri)
13 Daemons::Monitor::find (usr)
14 Daemons::Monitor::find (usr)
15 Daemons::Monitor::find (ri)
16 Gem::GemPathSearcher#find (usr)
17 ActiveResource::Base::find (ri)
18 Spec::Story::StepGroup#find (ri)
19 Spec::Story::StepMother#find (ri)
20 EnumerablePass#find (ri)
21 PathList::Finder#find (ri)
So I changed your patch a little to this:
entries.each_with_index do |m, i|
# Assume that a gem version is always formatted like 2.0.2
match_data = /-(\d+\.\d+\.\d+)/.match(m.path_name)
version_string = match_data ? " (#{match_data[1]})" : nil
STDOUT.puts "%2d %s%s" % [i+1, m.full_name, version_string]
end
Now the output is right:
spartan:~ choi$ ri find
More than one method matched your request. Type the number
of the method you want, or press Return to cancel:
1 Enumerable#find
2 Find#find
3 IRB::Locale#find
4 Pathname#find
5 Rinda::TupleBag#find
6 XML::Document#find (0.3.8)
7 XML::Node#find (0.3.8)
8 XML::XPath::find (0.3.8)
9 ActiveRecord::Base::find (1.15.6)
10 ActiveRecord::Base::find (2.0.2)
11 ActiveRecord::Base::find (2.1.0)
12 ActiveSupport::Callbacks::CallbackChain#find (2.1.0)
13 Daemons::Monitor::find (1.0.7)
14 Daemons::Monitor::find (1.0.9)
15 Daemons::Monitor::find (1.0.10)
16 Gem::GemPathSearcher#find (1.0.1)
17 ActiveResource::Base::find (2.0.2)
18 Spec::Story::StepGroup#find (1.1.4)
19 Spec::Story::StepMother#find (1.1.4)
20 EnumerablePass#find (2.4.1)
21 PathList::Finder#find (2.4.1)
Please let me know if this works on your system too. I'm going to add
this to my patch and credit you. Thanks Les,
Dan

OK thanks for tipping me off to rdoc 2.
I just changed the code to work against rdoc 2. And am submitting
patches in a few minutes.
Please let me know if I should write tests. This is my first time
submitting patches, so please feel free to tell me what to do.
Dan
I also resubmitted my patch for ri in RDoc 1 as a proper patch.

I may have updated the patch since you tried this. Please try the new
patch and let me know if you get the same bug
Here's the newer patch:
