1103 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
1104 | |
1105 | The various C<extract_...> subroutines may be used to extract a |
1106 | delimited string (possibly after skipping a specified prefix string). |
1107 | The search for the string always begins at the current C<pos> |
1108 | location of the string's variable (or at index zero, if no C<pos> |
1109 | position is defined). |
1110 | |
1111 | =head2 General behaviour in list contexts |
1112 | |
1113 | In a list context, all the subroutines return a list, the first three |
1114 | elements of which are always: |
1115 | |
1116 | =over 4 |
1117 | |
1118 | =item [0] |
1119 | |
1120 | The extracted string, including the specified delimiters. |
1121 | If the extraction fails an empty string is returned. |
1122 | |
1123 | =item [1] |
1124 | |
1125 | The remainder of the input string (i.e. the characters after the |
1126 | extracted string). On failure, the entire string is returned. |
1127 | |
1128 | =item [2] |
1129 | |
1130 | The skipped prefix (i.e. the characters before the extracted string). |
1131 | On failure, the empty string is returned. |
1132 | |
1133 | =back |
1134 | |
1135 | Note that in a list context, the contents of the original input text (the first |
1136 | argument) are not modified in any way. |
1137 | |
1138 | However, if the input text was passed in a variable, that variable's |
1139 | C<pos> value is updated to point at the first character after the |
1140 | extracted text. That means that in a list context the various |
1141 | subroutines can be used much like regular expressions. For example: |
1142 | |
1143 | while ( $next = (extract_quotelike($text))[0] ) |
1144 | { |
1145 | # process next quote-like (in $next) |
1146 | } |
1147 | |
1148 | |
1149 | =head2 General behaviour in scalar and void contexts |
1150 | |
1151 | In a scalar context, the extracted string is returned, having first been |
1152 | removed from the input text. Thus, the following code also processes |
1153 | each quote-like operation, but actually removes them from $text: |
1154 | |
1155 | while ( $next = extract_quotelike($text) ) |
1156 | { |
1157 | # process next quote-like (in $next) |
1158 | } |
1159 | |
1160 | Note that if the input text is a read-only string (i.e. a literal), |
1161 | no attempt is made to remove the extracted text. |
1162 | |
1163 | In a void context the behaviour of the extraction subroutines is |
1164 | exactly the same as in a scalar context, except (of course) that the |
1165 | extracted substring is not returned. |
1166 | |
1167 | =head2 A note about prefixes |
1168 | |
1169 | Prefix patterns are matched without any trailing modifiers (C</gimsox> etc.) |
1170 | This can bite you if you're expecting a prefix specification like |
1171 | '.*?(?=<H1>)' to skip everything up to the first <H1> tag. Such a prefix |
1172 | pattern will only succeed if the <H1> tag is on the current line, since |
1173 | . normally doesn't match newlines. |
1174 | |
1175 | To overcome this limitation, you need to turn on /s matching within |
1176 | the prefix pattern, using the C<(?s)> directive: '(?s).*?(?=<H1>)' |
1177 | |
1178 | |
1179 | =head2 C<extract_delimited> |
1180 | |
1181 | The C<extract_delimited> function formalizes the common idiom |
1182 | of extracting a single-character-delimited substring from the start of |
1183 | a string. For example, to extract a single-quote delimited string, the |
1184 | following code is typically used: |
1185 | |
1186 | ($remainder = $text) =~ s/\A('(\\.|[^'])*')//s; |
1187 | $extracted = $1; |
1188 | |
1189 | but with C<extract_delimited> it can be simplified to: |
1190 | |
1191 | ($extracted,$remainder) = extract_delimited($text, "'"); |
1192 | |
1193 | C<extract_delimited> takes up to four scalars (the input text, the |
1194 | delimiters, a prefix pattern to be skipped, and any escape characters) |
1195 | and extracts the initial substring of the text that |
1196 | is appropriately delimited. If the delimiter string has multiple |
1197 | characters, the first one encountered in the text is taken to delimit |
1198 | the substring. |
1199 | The third argument specifies a prefix pattern that is to be skipped |
1200 | (but must be present!) before the substring is extracted. |
1201 | The final argument specifies the escape character to be used for each |
1202 | delimiter. |
1203 | |
1204 | All arguments are optional. If the escape characters are not specified, |
1205 | every delimiter is escaped with a backslash (C<\>). |
1206 | If the prefix is not specified, the |
1207 | pattern C<'\s*'> - optional whitespace - is used. If the delimiter set |
1208 | is also not specified, the set C</["'`]/> is used. If the text to be processed |
1209 | is not specified either, C<$_> is used. |
1210 | |
d1be9408 |
1211 | In list context, C<extract_delimited> returns an array of three |
55a1c97c |
1212 | elements, the extracted substring (I<including the surrounding |
1213 | delimiters>), the remainder of the text, and the skipped prefix (if |
1214 | any). If a suitable delimited substring is not found, the first |
1215 | element of the array is the empty string, the second is the complete |
1216 | original text, and the prefix returned in the third element is an |
1217 | empty string. |
1218 | |
1219 | In a scalar context, just the extracted substring is returned. In |
1220 | a void context, the extracted substring (and any prefix) are simply |
1221 | removed from the beginning of the first argument. |
1222 | |
1223 | Examples: |
1224 | |
1225 | # Remove a single-quoted substring from the very beginning of $text: |
1226 | |
1227 | $substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", ''); |
1228 | |
1229 | # Remove a single-quoted Pascalish substring (i.e. one in which |
1230 | # doubling the quote character escapes it) from the very |
1231 | # beginning of $text: |
1232 | |
1233 | $substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", '', "'"); |
1234 | |
1235 | # Extract a single- or double- quoted substring from the |
1236 | # beginning of $text, optionally after some whitespace |
1237 | # (note the list context to protect $text from modification): |
1238 | |
1239 | ($substring) = extract_delimited $text, q{"'}; |
1240 | |
1241 | |
1242 | # Delete the substring delimited by the first '/' in $text: |
1243 | |
1244 | $text = join '', (extract_delimited($text,'/','[^/]*')[2,1]; |
1245 | |
1246 | Note that this last example is I<not> the same as deleting the first |
1247 | quote-like pattern. For instance, if C<$text> contained the string: |
1248 | |
1249 | "if ('./cmd' =~ m/$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }" |
1250 | |
1251 | then after the deletion it would contain: |
1252 | |
1253 | "if ('.$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }" |
1254 | |
1255 | not: |
1256 | |
1257 | "if ('./cmd' =~ ms) { $cmd = $1; }" |
1258 | |
1259 | |
1260 | See L<"extract_quotelike"> for a (partial) solution to this problem. |
1261 | |
1262 | |
1263 | =head2 C<extract_bracketed> |
1264 | |
1265 | Like C<"extract_delimited">, the C<extract_bracketed> function takes |
1266 | up to three optional scalar arguments: a string to extract from, a delimiter |
1267 | specifier, and a prefix pattern. As before, a missing prefix defaults to |
1268 | optional whitespace and a missing text defaults to C<$_>. However, a missing |
1269 | delimiter specifier defaults to C<'{}()[]E<lt>E<gt>'> (see below). |
1270 | |
1271 | C<extract_bracketed> extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited |
1272 | substring (using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter |
1273 | brackets: '(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>'). Optionally it will also |
1274 | respect quoted unbalanced brackets (see below). |
1275 | |
1276 | A "delimiter bracket" is a bracket in list of delimiters passed as |
1277 | C<extract_bracketed>'s second argument. Delimiter brackets are |
1278 | specified by giving either the left or right (or both!) versions |
1279 | of the required bracket(s). Note that the order in which |
1280 | two or more delimiter brackets are specified is not significant. |
1281 | |
1282 | A "balanced-bracket-delimited substring" is a substring bounded by |
1283 | matched brackets, such that any other (left or right) delimiter |
1284 | bracket I<within> the substring is also matched by an opposite |
1285 | (right or left) delimiter bracket I<at the same level of nesting>. Any |
1286 | type of bracket not in the delimiter list is treated as an ordinary |
1287 | character. |
1288 | |
1289 | In other words, each type of bracket specified as a delimiter must be |
1290 | balanced and correctly nested within the substring, and any other kind of |
1291 | ("non-delimiter") bracket in the substring is ignored. |
1292 | |
1293 | For example, given the string: |
1294 | |
1295 | $text = "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }"; |
1296 | |
1297 | then a call to C<extract_bracketed> in a list context: |
1298 | |
1299 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{}' ); |
1300 | |
1301 | would return: |
1302 | |
1303 | ( "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" , "" , "" ) |
1304 | |
1305 | since both sets of C<'{..}'> brackets are properly nested and evenly balanced. |
1306 | (In a scalar context just the first element of the array would be returned. In |
1307 | a void context, C<$text> would be replaced by an empty string.) |
1308 | |
1309 | Likewise the call in: |
1310 | |
1311 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{[' ); |
1312 | |
1313 | would return the same result, since all sets of both types of specified |
1314 | delimiter brackets are correctly nested and balanced. |
1315 | |
1316 | However, the call in: |
1317 | |
1318 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{([<' ); |
1319 | |
1320 | would fail, returning: |
1321 | |
1322 | ( undef , "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" ); |
1323 | |
1324 | because the embedded pairs of C<'(..)'>s and C<'[..]'>s are "cross-nested" and |
1325 | the embedded C<'E<gt>'> is unbalanced. (In a scalar context, this call would |
1326 | return an empty string. In a void context, C<$text> would be unchanged.) |
1327 | |
1328 | Note that the embedded single-quotes in the string don't help in this |
1329 | case, since they have not been specified as acceptable delimiters and are |
1330 | therefore treated as non-delimiter characters (and ignored). |
1331 | |
1332 | However, if a particular species of quote character is included in the |
1333 | delimiter specification, then that type of quote will be correctly handled. |
1334 | for example, if C<$text> is: |
1335 | |
1336 | $text = '<A HREF=">>>>">link</A>'; |
1337 | |
1338 | then |
1339 | |
1340 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<">' ); |
1341 | |
1342 | returns: |
1343 | |
1344 | ( '<A HREF=">>>>">', 'link</A>', "" ) |
1345 | |
1346 | as expected. Without the specification of C<"> as an embedded quoter: |
1347 | |
1348 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<>' ); |
1349 | |
1350 | the result would be: |
1351 | |
1352 | ( '<A HREF=">', '>>>">link</A>', "" ) |
1353 | |
1354 | In addition to the quote delimiters C<'>, C<">, and C<`>, full Perl quote-like |
1355 | quoting (i.e. q{string}, qq{string}, etc) can be specified by including the |
1356 | letter 'q' as a delimiter. Hence: |
1357 | |
1358 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<q>' ); |
1359 | |
1360 | would correctly match something like this: |
1361 | |
1362 | $text = '<leftop: conj /and/ conj>'; |
1363 | |
1364 | See also: C<"extract_quotelike"> and C<"extract_codeblock">. |
1365 | |
1366 | |
1367 | =head2 C<extract_tagged> |
1368 | |
1369 | C<extract_tagged> extracts and segments text between (balanced) |
1370 | specified tags. |
1371 | |
1372 | The subroutine takes up to five optional arguments: |
1373 | |
1374 | =over 4 |
1375 | |
1376 | =item 1. |
1377 | |
1378 | A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>) |
1379 | |
1380 | =item 2. |
1381 | |
1382 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched as the opening tag. |
1383 | If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then a pattern |
1384 | that matches any standard HTML/XML tag is used. |
1385 | |
1386 | =item 3. |
1387 | |
1388 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched at the closing tag. |
1389 | If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then the closing |
1390 | tag is constructed by inserting a C</> after any leading bracket |
1391 | characters in the actual opening tag that was matched (I<not> the pattern |
1392 | that matched the tag). For example, if the opening tag pattern |
1393 | is specified as C<'{{\w+}}'> and actually matched the opening tag |
1394 | C<"{{DATA}}">, then the constructed closing tag would be C<"{{/DATA}}">. |
1395 | |
1396 | =item 4. |
1397 | |
1398 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched as a prefix (which is to be |
1399 | skipped). If omitted, optional whitespace is skipped. |
1400 | |
1401 | =item 5. |
1402 | |
1403 | A hash reference containing various parsing options (see below) |
1404 | |
1405 | =back |
1406 | |
1407 | The various options that can be specified are: |
1408 | |
1409 | =over 4 |
1410 | |
1411 | =item C<reject =E<gt> $listref> |
1412 | |
1413 | The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns |
1414 | that must I<not> appear within the tagged text. |
1415 | |
1416 | For example, to extract |
1417 | an HTML link (which should not contain nested links) use: |
1418 | |
1419 | extract_tagged($text, '<A>', '</A>', undef, {reject => ['<A>']} ); |
1420 | |
1421 | =item C<ignore =E<gt> $listref> |
1422 | |
1423 | The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns |
1424 | that are I<not> be be treated as nested tags within the tagged text |
1425 | (even if they would match the start tag pattern). |
1426 | |
1427 | For example, to extract an arbitrary XML tag, but ignore "empty" elements: |
1428 | |
1429 | extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => ['<[^>]*/>']} ); |
1430 | |
1431 | (also see L<"gen_delimited_pat"> below). |
1432 | |
1433 | |
1434 | =item C<fail =E<gt> $str> |
1435 | |
1436 | The C<fail> option indicates the action to be taken if a matching end |
1437 | tag is not encountered (i.e. before the end of the string or some |
1438 | C<reject> pattern matches). By default, a failure to match a closing |
1439 | tag causes C<extract_tagged> to immediately fail. |
1440 | |
1441 | However, if the string value associated with <reject> is "MAX", then |
1442 | C<extract_tagged> returns the complete text up to the point of failure. |
1443 | If the string is "PARA", C<extract_tagged> returns only the first paragraph |
1444 | after the tag (up to the first line that is either empty or contains |
1445 | only whitespace characters). |
d1be9408 |
1446 | If the string is "", the default behaviour (i.e. failure) is reinstated. |
55a1c97c |
1447 | |
1448 | For example, suppose the start tag "/para" introduces a paragraph, which then |
1449 | continues until the next "/endpara" tag or until another "/para" tag is |
1450 | encountered: |
1451 | |
1452 | $text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4"; |
1453 | |
1454 | extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef, |
1455 | {reject => '/para', fail => MAX ); |
1456 | |
1457 | # EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n" |
1458 | |
1459 | Suppose instead, that if no matching "/endpara" tag is found, the "/para" |
1460 | tag refers only to the immediately following paragraph: |
1461 | |
1462 | $text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4"; |
1463 | |
1464 | extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef, |
1465 | {reject => '/para', fail => MAX ); |
1466 | |
1467 | # EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n" |
1468 | |
1469 | Note that the specified C<fail> behaviour applies to nested tags as well. |
1470 | |
1471 | =back |
1472 | |
1473 | On success in a list context, an array of 6 elements is returned. The elements are: |
1474 | |
1475 | =over 4 |
1476 | |
1477 | =item [0] |
1478 | |
1479 | the extracted tagged substring (including the outermost tags), |
1480 | |
1481 | =item [1] |
1482 | |
1483 | the remainder of the input text, |
1484 | |
1485 | =item [2] |
1486 | |
1487 | the prefix substring (if any), |
1488 | |
1489 | =item [3] |
1490 | |
1491 | the opening tag |
1492 | |
1493 | =item [4] |
1494 | |
1495 | the text between the opening and closing tags |
1496 | |
1497 | =item [5] |
1498 | |
1499 | the closing tag (or "" if no closing tag was found) |
1500 | |
1501 | =back |
1502 | |
1503 | On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>. |
1504 | |
1505 | In a scalar context, C<extract_tagged> returns just the complete |
1506 | substring that matched a tagged text (including the start and end |
1507 | tags). C<undef> is returned on failure. In addition, the original input |
1508 | text has the returned substring (and any prefix) removed from it. |
1509 | |
1510 | In a void context, the input text just has the matched substring (and |
1511 | any specified prefix) removed. |
1512 | |
1513 | |
1514 | =head2 C<gen_extract_tagged> |
1515 | |
1516 | (Note: This subroutine is only available under Perl5.005) |
1517 | |
1518 | C<gen_extract_tagged> generates a new anonymous subroutine which |
1519 | extracts text between (balanced) specified tags. In other words, |
1520 | it generates a function identical in function to C<extract_tagged>. |
1521 | |
1522 | The difference between C<extract_tagged> and the anonymous |
1523 | subroutines generated by |
1524 | C<gen_extract_tagged>, is that those generated subroutines: |
1525 | |
1526 | =over 4 |
1527 | |
1528 | =item * |
1529 | |
1530 | do not have to reparse tag specification or parsing options every time |
1531 | they are called (whereas C<extract_tagged> has to effectively rebuild |
1532 | its tag parser on every call); |
1533 | |
1534 | =item * |
1535 | |
1536 | make use of the new qr// construct to pre-compile the regexes they use |
1537 | (whereas C<extract_tagged> uses standard string variable interpolation |
1538 | to create tag-matching patterns). |
1539 | |
1540 | =back |
1541 | |
1542 | The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments (the same set as |
1543 | C<extract_tagged> except for the string to be processed). It returns |
1544 | a reference to a subroutine which in turn takes a single argument (the text to |
1545 | be extracted from). |
1546 | |
1547 | In other words, the implementation of C<extract_tagged> is exactly |
1548 | equivalent to: |
1549 | |
1550 | sub extract_tagged |
1551 | { |
1552 | my $text = shift; |
1553 | $extractor = gen_extract_tagged(@_); |
1554 | return $extractor->($text); |
1555 | } |
1556 | |
1557 | (although C<extract_tagged> is not currently implemented that way, in order |
1558 | to preserve pre-5.005 compatibility). |
1559 | |
1560 | Using C<gen_extract_tagged> to create extraction functions for specific tags |
1561 | is a good idea if those functions are going to be called more than once, since |
1562 | their performance is typically twice as good as the more general-purpose |
1563 | C<extract_tagged>. |
1564 | |
1565 | |
1566 | =head2 C<extract_quotelike> |
1567 | |
1568 | C<extract_quotelike> attempts to recognize, extract, and segment any |
1569 | one of the various Perl quotes and quotelike operators (see |
1570 | L<perlop(3)>) Nested backslashed delimiters, embedded balanced bracket |
1571 | delimiters (for the quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are |
1572 | all caught. For example, in: |
1573 | |
1574 | extract_quotelike 'q # an octothorpe: \# (not the end of the q!) #' |
1575 | |
1576 | extract_quotelike ' "You said, \"Use sed\"." ' |
1577 | |
1578 | extract_quotelike ' s{([A-Z]{1,8}\.[A-Z]{3})} /\L$1\E/; ' |
1579 | |
1580 | extract_quotelike ' tr/\\\/\\\\/\\\//ds; ' |
1581 | |
1582 | the full Perl quotelike operations are all extracted correctly. |
1583 | |
1584 | Note too that, when using the /x modifier on a regex, any comment |
1585 | containing the current pattern delimiter will cause the regex to be |
1586 | immediately terminated. In other words: |
1587 | |
1588 | 'm / |
1589 | (?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE |
1590 | [a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/UNDERSCORE |
1591 | [a-z0-9]* # FOLLOWED BY ANY NUMBER OF ALPHANUMERICS |
1592 | /x' |
1593 | |
1594 | will be extracted as if it were: |
1595 | |
1596 | 'm / |
1597 | (?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE |
1598 | [a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/' |
1599 | |
1600 | This behaviour is identical to that of the actual compiler. |
1601 | |
1602 | C<extract_quotelike> takes two arguments: the text to be processed and |
1603 | a prefix to be matched at the very beginning of the text. If no prefix |
1604 | is specified, optional whitespace is the default. If no text is given, |
1605 | C<$_> is used. |
1606 | |
1607 | In a list context, an array of 11 elements is returned. The elements are: |
1608 | |
1609 | =over 4 |
1610 | |
1611 | =item [0] |
1612 | |
1613 | the extracted quotelike substring (including trailing modifiers), |
1614 | |
1615 | =item [1] |
1616 | |
1617 | the remainder of the input text, |
1618 | |
1619 | =item [2] |
1620 | |
1621 | the prefix substring (if any), |
1622 | |
1623 | =item [3] |
1624 | |
1625 | the name of the quotelike operator (if any), |
1626 | |
1627 | =item [4] |
1628 | |
1629 | the left delimiter of the first block of the operation, |
1630 | |
1631 | =item [5] |
1632 | |
1633 | the text of the first block of the operation |
1634 | (that is, the contents of |
1635 | a quote, the regex of a match or substitution or the target list of a |
1636 | translation), |
1637 | |
1638 | =item [6] |
1639 | |
1640 | the right delimiter of the first block of the operation, |
1641 | |
1642 | =item [7] |
1643 | |
1644 | the left delimiter of the second block of the operation |
d1be9408 |
1645 | (that is, if it is an C<s>, C<tr>, or C<y>), |
55a1c97c |
1646 | |
1647 | =item [8] |
1648 | |
1649 | the text of the second block of the operation |
1650 | (that is, the replacement of a substitution or the translation list |
1651 | of a translation), |
1652 | |
1653 | =item [9] |
1654 | |
1655 | the right delimiter of the second block of the operation (if any), |
1656 | |
1657 | =item [10] |
1658 | |
1659 | the trailing modifiers on the operation (if any). |
1660 | |
1661 | =back |
1662 | |
1663 | For each of the fields marked "(if any)" the default value on success is |
1664 | an empty string. |
1665 | On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>. |
1666 | |
1667 | |
1668 | In a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike> returns just the complete substring |
1669 | that matched a quotelike operation (or C<undef> on failure). In a scalar or |
1670 | void context, the input text has the same substring (and any specified |
1671 | prefix) removed. |
1672 | |
1673 | Examples: |
1674 | |
1675 | # Remove the first quotelike literal that appears in text |
1676 | |
1677 | $quotelike = extract_quotelike($text,'.*?'); |
1678 | |
1679 | # Replace one or more leading whitespace-separated quotelike |
1680 | # literals in $_ with "<QLL>" |
1681 | |
1682 | do { $_ = join '<QLL>', (extract_quotelike)[2,1] } until $@; |
1683 | |
1684 | |
1685 | # Isolate the search pattern in a quotelike operation from $text |
1686 | |
1687 | ($op,$pat) = (extract_quotelike $text)[3,5]; |
1688 | if ($op =~ /[ms]/) |
1689 | { |
1690 | print "search pattern: $pat\n"; |
1691 | } |
1692 | else |
1693 | { |
1694 | print "$op is not a pattern matching operation\n"; |
1695 | } |
1696 | |
1697 | |
1698 | =head2 C<extract_quotelike> and "here documents" |
1699 | |
1700 | C<extract_quotelike> can successfully extract "here documents" from an input |
1701 | string, but with an important caveat in list contexts. |
1702 | |
1703 | Unlike other types of quote-like literals, a here document is rarely |
1704 | a contiguous substring. For example, a typical piece of code using |
1705 | here document might look like this: |
1706 | |
1707 | <<'EOMSG' || die; |
1708 | This is the message. |
1709 | EOMSG |
1710 | exit; |
1711 | |
1712 | Given this as an input string in a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike> |
1713 | would correctly return the string "<<'EOMSG'\nThis is the message.\nEOMSG", |
1714 | leaving the string " || die;\nexit;" in the original variable. In other words, |
1715 | the two separate pieces of the here document are successfully extracted and |
1716 | concatenated. |
1717 | |
1718 | In a list context, C<extract_quotelike> would return the list |
1719 | |
1720 | =over 4 |
1721 | |
1722 | =item [0] |
1723 | |
1724 | "<<'EOMSG'\nThis is the message.\nEOMSG\n" (i.e. the full extracted here document, |
1725 | including fore and aft delimiters), |
1726 | |
1727 | =item [1] |
1728 | |
1729 | " || die;\nexit;" (i.e. the remainder of the input text, concatenated), |
1730 | |
1731 | =item [2] |
1732 | |
1733 | "" (i.e. the prefix substring -- trivial in this case), |
1734 | |
1735 | =item [3] |
1736 | |
1737 | "<<" (i.e. the "name" of the quotelike operator) |
1738 | |
1739 | =item [4] |
1740 | |
1741 | "'EOMSG'" (i.e. the left delimiter of the here document, including any quotes), |
1742 | |
1743 | =item [5] |
1744 | |
1745 | "This is the message.\n" (i.e. the text of the here document), |
1746 | |
1747 | =item [6] |
1748 | |
1749 | "EOMSG" (i.e. the right delimiter of the here document), |
1750 | |
1751 | =item [7..10] |
1752 | |
1753 | "" (a here document has no second left delimiter, second text, second right |
1754 | delimiter, or trailing modifiers). |
1755 | |
1756 | =back |
1757 | |
1758 | However, the matching position of the input variable would be set to |
1759 | "exit;" (i.e. I<after> the closing delimiter of the here document), |
1760 | which would cause the earlier " || die;\nexit;" to be skipped in any |
1761 | sequence of code fragment extractions. |
1762 | |
d1be9408 |
1763 | To avoid this problem, when it encounters a here document while |
55a1c97c |
1764 | extracting from a modifiable string, C<extract_quotelike> silently |
1765 | rearranges the string to an equivalent piece of Perl: |
1766 | |
1767 | <<'EOMSG' |
1768 | This is the message. |
1769 | EOMSG |
1770 | || die; |
1771 | exit; |
1772 | |
1773 | in which the here document I<is> contiguous. It still leaves the |
1774 | matching position after the here document, but now the rest of the line |
1775 | on which the here document starts is not skipped. |
1776 | |
1777 | To prevent <extract_quotelike> from mucking about with the input in this way |
1778 | (this is the only case where a list-context C<extract_quotelike> does so), |
1779 | you can pass the input variable as an interpolated literal: |
1780 | |
1781 | $quotelike = extract_quotelike("$var"); |
1782 | |
1783 | |
1784 | =head2 C<extract_codeblock> |
1785 | |
1786 | C<extract_codeblock> attempts to recognize and extract a balanced |
1787 | bracket delimited substring that may contain unbalanced brackets |
1788 | inside Perl quotes or quotelike operations. That is, C<extract_codeblock> |
1789 | is like a combination of C<"extract_bracketed"> and |
1790 | C<"extract_quotelike">. |
1791 | |
1792 | C<extract_codeblock> takes the same initial three parameters as C<extract_bracketed>: |
1793 | a text to process, a set of delimiter brackets to look for, and a prefix to |
1794 | match first. It also takes an optional fourth parameter, which allows the |
1795 | outermost delimiter brackets to be specified separately (see below). |
1796 | |
1797 | Omitting the first argument (input text) means process C<$_> instead. |
1798 | Omitting the second argument (delimiter brackets) indicates that only C<'{'> is to be used. |
1799 | Omitting the third argument (prefix argument) implies optional whitespace at the start. |
1800 | Omitting the fourth argument (outermost delimiter brackets) indicates that the |
1801 | value of the second argument is to be used for the outermost delimiters. |
1802 | |
d1be9408 |
1803 | Once the prefix an the outermost opening delimiter bracket have been |
55a1c97c |
1804 | recognized, code blocks are extracted by stepping through the input text and |
1805 | trying the following alternatives in sequence: |
1806 | |
1807 | =over 4 |
1808 | |
1809 | =item 1. |
1810 | |
1811 | Try and match a closing delimiter bracket. If the bracket was the same |
1812 | species as the last opening bracket, return the substring to that |
1813 | point. If the bracket was mismatched, return an error. |
1814 | |
1815 | =item 2. |
1816 | |
1817 | Try to match a quote or quotelike operator. If found, call |
1818 | C<extract_quotelike> to eat it. If C<extract_quotelike> fails, return |
1819 | the error it returned. Otherwise go back to step 1. |
1820 | |
1821 | =item 3. |
1822 | |
1823 | Try to match an opening delimiter bracket. If found, call |
1824 | C<extract_codeblock> recursively to eat the embedded block. If the |
1825 | recursive call fails, return an error. Otherwise, go back to step 1. |
1826 | |
1827 | =item 4. |
1828 | |
1829 | Unconditionally match a bareword or any other single character, and |
1830 | then go back to step 1. |
1831 | |
1832 | =back |
1833 | |
1834 | |
1835 | Examples: |
1836 | |
1837 | # Find a while loop in the text |
1838 | |
1839 | if ($text =~ s/.*?while\s*\{/{/) |
1840 | { |
1841 | $loop = "while " . extract_codeblock($text); |
1842 | } |
1843 | |
1844 | # Remove the first round-bracketed list (which may include |
1845 | # round- or curly-bracketed code blocks or quotelike operators) |
1846 | |
1847 | extract_codeblock $text, "(){}", '[^(]*'; |
1848 | |
1849 | |
1850 | The ability to specify a different outermost delimiter bracket is useful |
1851 | in some circumstances. For example, in the Parse::RecDescent module, |
1852 | parser actions which are to be performed only on a successful parse |
1853 | are specified using a C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive. For example: |
1854 | |
1855 | sentence: subject verb object |
1856 | <defer: {$::theVerb = $item{verb}} > |
1857 | |
1858 | Parse::RecDescent uses C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}E<lt>E<gt>')> to extract the code |
1859 | within the C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive, but there's a problem. |
1860 | |
1861 | A deferred action like this: |
1862 | |
1863 | <defer: {if ($count>10) {$count--}} > |
1864 | |
1865 | will be incorrectly parsed as: |
1866 | |
1867 | <defer: {if ($count> |
1868 | |
1869 | because the "less than" operator is interpreted as a closing delimiter. |
1870 | |
1871 | But, by extracting the directive using |
1872 | S<C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}', undef, 'E<lt>E<gt>')>> |
1873 | the '>' character is only treated as a delimited at the outermost |
1874 | level of the code block, so the directive is parsed correctly. |
1875 | |
1876 | =head2 C<extract_multiple> |
1877 | |
1878 | The C<extract_multiple> subroutine takes a string to be processed and a |
1879 | list of extractors (subroutines or regular expressions) to apply to that string. |
1880 | |
1881 | In an array context C<extract_multiple> returns an array of substrings |
1882 | of the original string, as extracted by the specified extractors. |
1883 | In a scalar context, C<extract_multiple> returns the first |
1884 | substring successfully extracted from the original string. In both |
1885 | scalar and void contexts the original string has the first successfully |
1886 | extracted substring removed from it. In all contexts |
1887 | C<extract_multiple> starts at the current C<pos> of the string, and |
1888 | sets that C<pos> appropriately after it matches. |
1889 | |
d1be9408 |
1890 | Hence, the aim of a call to C<extract_multiple> in a list context |
55a1c97c |
1891 | is to split the processed string into as many non-overlapping fields as |
1892 | possible, by repeatedly applying each of the specified extractors |
1893 | to the remainder of the string. Thus C<extract_multiple> is |
1894 | a generalized form of Perl's C<split> subroutine. |
1895 | |
1896 | The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments: |
1897 | |
1898 | =over 4 |
1899 | |
1900 | =item 1. |
1901 | |
1902 | A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>) |
1903 | |
1904 | =item 2. |
1905 | |
1906 | A reference to a list of subroutine references and/or qr// objects and/or |
1907 | literal strings and/or hash references, specifying the extractors |
1908 | to be used to split the string. If this argument is omitted (or |
1909 | C<undef>) the list: |
1910 | |
1911 | [ |
1912 | sub { extract_variable($_[0], '') }, |
1913 | sub { extract_quotelike($_[0],'') }, |
1914 | sub { extract_codeblock($_[0],'{}','') }, |
1915 | ] |
1916 | |
1917 | is used. |
1918 | |
1919 | |
1920 | =item 3. |
1921 | |
d1be9408 |
1922 | A number specifying the maximum number of fields to return. If this |
55a1c97c |
1923 | argument is omitted (or C<undef>), split continues as long as possible. |
1924 | |
1925 | If the third argument is I<N>, then extraction continues until I<N> fields |
1926 | have been successfully extracted, or until the string has been completely |
1927 | processed. |
1928 | |
1929 | Note that in scalar and void contexts the value of this argument is |
1930 | automatically reset to 1 (under C<-w>, a warning is issued if the argument |
1931 | has to be reset). |
1932 | |
1933 | =item 4. |
1934 | |
1935 | A value indicating whether unmatched substrings (see below) within the |
1936 | text should be skipped or returned as fields. If the value is true, |
1937 | such substrings are skipped. Otherwise, they are returned. |

1940 | |
1941 | The extraction process works by applying each extractor in |
a7602084 |
1942 | sequence to the text string. |
1943 | |
1944 | If the extractor is a subroutine it is called in a list context and is |
1945 | expected to return a list of a single element, namely the extracted |
1946 | text. It may optionally also return two further arguments: a string |
1947 | representing the text left after extraction (like $' for a pattern |
1948 | match), and a string representing any prefix skipped before the |
1949 | extraction (like $` in a pattern match). Note that this is designed |
1950 | to facilitate the use of other Text::Balanced subroutines with |
1951 | C<extract_multiple>. Note too that the value returned by an extractor |
1952 | subroutine need not bear any relationship to the corresponding substring |
1953 | of the original text (see examples below). |
55a1c97c |
1954 | |
1955 | If the extractor is a precompiled regular expression or a string, |
1956 | it is matched against the text in a scalar context with a leading |
1957 | '\G' and the gc modifiers enabled. The extracted value is either |
1958 | $1 if that variable is defined after the match, or else the |
1959 | complete match (i.e. $&). |
1960 | |
1961 | If the extractor is a hash reference, it must contain exactly one element. |
1962 | The value of that element is one of the |
1963 | above extractor types (subroutine reference, regular expression, or string). |
1964 | The key of that element is the name of a class into which the successful |
1965 | return value of the extractor will be blessed. |
1966 | |
1967 | If an extractor returns a defined value, that value is immediately |
1968 | treated as the next extracted field and pushed onto the list of fields. |
1969 | If the extractor was specified in a hash reference, the field is also |
1970 | blessed into the appropriate class, |
1971 | |
1972 | If the extractor fails to match (in the case of a regex extractor), or returns an empty list or an undefined value (in the case of a subroutine extractor), it is |
1973 | assumed to have failed to extract. |
1974 | If none of the extractor subroutines succeeds, then one |
1975 | character is extracted from the start of the text and the extraction |
1976 | subroutines reapplied. Characters which are thus removed are accumulated and |
1977 | eventually become the next field (unless the fourth argument is true, in which |
d1be9408 |
1978 | case they are discarded). |
55a1c97c |
1979 | |
1980 | For example, the following extracts substrings that are valid Perl variables: |
1981 | |
1982 | @fields = extract_multiple($text, |
1983 | [ sub { extract_variable($_[0]) } ], |
1984 | undef, 1); |
1985 | |
1986 | This example separates a text into fields which are quote delimited, |
1987 | curly bracketed, and anything else. The delimited and bracketed |
1988 | parts are also blessed to identify them (the "anything else" is unblessed): |
1989 | |
1990 | @fields = extract_multiple($text, |
1991 | [ |
1992 | { Delim => sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) } }, |
1993 | { Brack => sub { extract_bracketed($_[0],'{}') } }, |
1994 | ]); |
1995 | |
1996 | This call extracts the next single substring that is a valid Perl quotelike |
1997 | operator (and removes it from $text): |
1998 | |
1999 | $quotelike = extract_multiple($text, |
2000 | [ |
2001 | sub { extract_quotelike($_[0]) }, |
2002 | ], undef, 1); |
2003 | |
2004 | Finally, here is yet another way to do comma-separated value parsing: |
2005 | |
2006 | @fields = extract_multiple($csv_text, |
2007 | [ |
2008 | sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) }, |
2009 | qr/([^,]+)(.*)/, |
2010 | ], |
2011 | undef,1); |
2012 | |
2013 | The list in the second argument means: |
2014 | I<"Try and extract a ' or " delimited string, otherwise extract anything up to a comma...">. |
2015 | The undef third argument means: |
2016 | I<"...as many times as possible...">, |
2017 | and the true value in the fourth argument means |
2018 | I<"...discarding anything else that appears (i.e. the commas)">. |
2019 | |
2020 | If you wanted the commas preserved as separate fields (i.e. like split |
2021 | does if your split pattern has capturing parentheses), you would |
2022 | just make the last parameter undefined (or remove it). |
2023 | |
2024 | |
2025 | =head2 C<gen_delimited_pat> |
2026 | |
2027 | The C<gen_delimited_pat> subroutine takes a single (string) argument and |
2028 | > builds a Friedl-style optimized regex that matches a string delimited |
2029 | by any one of the characters in the single argument. For example: |
2030 | |
2031 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'"}) |
2032 | |
2033 | returns the regex: |
2034 | |
2035 | (?:\"(?:\\\"|(?!\").)*\"|\'(?:\\\'|(?!\').)*\') |
2036 | |
2037 | Note that the specified delimiters are automatically quotemeta'd. |
2038 | |
2039 | A typical use of C<gen_delimited_pat> would be to build special purpose tags |
2040 | for C<extract_tagged>. For example, to properly ignore "empty" XML elements |
2041 | (which might contain quoted strings): |
2042 | |
2043 | my $empty_tag = '<(' . gen_delimited_pat(q{'"}) . '|.)+/>'; |
2044 | |
2045 | extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => [$empty_tag]} ); |
2046 | |
2047 | |
2048 | C<gen_delimited_pat> may also be called with an optional second argument, |
2049 | which specifies the "escape" character(s) to be used for each delimiter. |
2050 | For example to match a Pascal-style string (where ' is the delimiter |
2051 | and '' is a literal ' within the string): |
2052 | |
2053 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'},q{'}); |
2054 | |
2055 | Different escape characters can be specified for different delimiters. |
2056 | For example, to specify that '/' is the escape for single quotes |
2057 | and '%' is the escape for double quotes: |
2058 | |
2059 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'"},q{/%}); |
2060 | |
2061 | If more delimiters than escape chars are specified, the last escape char |
2062 | is used for the remaining delimiters. |
2063 | If no escape char is specified for a given specified delimiter, '\' is used. |
2064 | |
2065 | Note that |
2066 | C<gen_delimited_pat> was previously called |
2067 | C<delimited_pat>. That name may still be used, but is now deprecated. |
2068 | |
2069 | |
2070 | =head1 DIAGNOSTICS |
2071 | |
2072 | In a list context, all the functions return C<(undef,$original_text)> |
2073 | on failure. In a scalar context, failure is indicated by returning C<undef> |
2074 | (in this case the input text is not modified in any way). |
2075 | |
2076 | In addition, on failure in I<any> context, the C<$@> variable is set. |
2077 | Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{error}> returns one of the error diagnostics listed |
2078 | below. |
2079 | Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{pos}> returns the offset into the original string at |
2080 | which the error was detected (although not necessarily where it occurred!) |
2081 | Printing C<$@> directly produces the error message, with the offset appended. |
2082 | On success, the C<$@> variable is guaranteed to be C<undef>. |
2083 | |
2084 | The available diagnostics are: |

2093 | =item C<Did not find prefix: /%s/> |
2094 | |
2095 | A non-optional prefix was specified but wasn't found at the start of the text. |
2096 | |
2097 | =item C<Did not find opening bracket after prefix: "%s"> |
2098 | |
2099 | C<extract_bracketed> or C<extract_codeblock> was expecting a |
2100 | particular kind of bracket at the start of the text, and didn't find it. |
2101 | |
2102 | =item C<No quotelike operator found after prefix: "%s"> |
2103 | |
2104 | C<extract_quotelike> didn't find one of the quotelike operators C<q>, |
2105 | C<qq>, C<qw>, C<qx>, C<s>, C<tr> or C<y> at the start of the substring |
2106 | it was extracting. |
2107 | |
2108 | =item C<Unmatched closing bracket: "%c"> |
2109 | |
2110 | C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> encountered |
2111 | a closing bracket where none was expected. |
2112 | |
2113 | =item C<Unmatched opening bracket(s): "%s"> |
2114 | |
2115 | C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> ran |
2116 | out of characters in the text before closing one or more levels of nested |
2117 | brackets. |
2118 | |
2119 | =item C<Unmatched embedded quote (%s)> |
2120 | |
2121 | C<extract_bracketed> attempted to match an embedded quoted substring, but |
2122 | failed to find a closing quote to match it. |
2123 | |
2124 | =item C<Did not find closing delimiter to match '%s'> |
2125 | |
2126 | C<extract_quotelike> was unable to find a closing delimiter to match the |
2127 | one that opened the quote-like operation. |
2128 | |
2129 | =item C<Mismatched closing bracket: expected "%c" but found "%s"> |
2130 | |
2131 | C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> found |
2132 | a valid bracket delimiter, but it was the wrong species. This usually |
2133 | indicates a nesting error, but may indicate incorrect quoting or escaping. |
2134 | |
2135 | =item C<No block delimiter found after quotelike "%s"> |
2136 | |
2137 | C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> found one of the |
2138 | quotelike operators C<q>, C<qq>, C<qw>, C<qx>, C<s>, C<tr> or C<y> |
2139 | without a suitable block after it. |
2140 | |
2141 | =item C<Did not find leading dereferencer> |
2142 | |
2143 | C<extract_variable> was expecting one of '$', '@', or '%' at the start of |
2144 | a variable, but didn't find any of them. |
2145 | |
2146 | =item C<Bad identifier after dereferencer> |
2147 | |
2148 | C<extract_variable> found a '$', '@', or '%' indicating a variable, but that |
2149 | character was not followed by a legal Perl identifier. |
2150 | |
2151 | =item C<Did not find expected opening bracket at %s> |
2152 | |
2153 | C<extract_codeblock> failed to find any of the outermost opening brackets |
2154 | that were specified. |
2155 | |
2156 | =item C<Improperly nested codeblock at %s> |
2157 | |
2158 | A nested code block was found that started with a delimiter that was specified |
2159 | as being only to be used as an outermost bracket. |
2160 | |
2161 | =item C<Missing second block for quotelike "%s"> |
2162 | |
2163 | C<extract_codeblock> or C<extract_quotelike> found one of the |
2164 | quotelike operators C<s>, C<tr> or C<y> followed by only one block. |
2165 | |
2166 | =item C<No match found for opening bracket> |
2167 | |
2168 | C<extract_codeblock> failed to find a closing bracket to match the outermost |
2169 | opening bracket. |
2170 | |
2171 | =item C<Did not find opening tag: /%s/> |
2172 | |
2173 | C<extract_tagged> did not find a suitable opening tag (after any specified |
2174 | prefix was removed). |
2175 | |
2176 | =item C<Unable to construct closing tag to match: /%s/> |
2177 | |
2178 | C<extract_tagged> matched the specified opening tag and tried to |
2179 | modify the matched text to produce a matching closing tag (because |
2180 | none was specified). It failed to generate the closing tag, almost |
2181 | certainly because the opening tag did not start with a |
2182 | bracket of some kind. |
2183 | |
2184 | =item C<Found invalid nested tag: %s> |
2185 | |
2186 | C<extract_tagged> found a nested tag that appeared in the "reject" list |
2187 | (and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA"). |
2188 | |
2189 | =item C<Found unbalanced nested tag: %s> |
2190 | |
2191 | C<extract_tagged> found a nested opening tag that was not matched by a |
2192 | corresponding nested closing tag (and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA"). |
2193 | |
2194 | =item C<Did not find closing tag> |
2195 | |
2196 | C<extract_tagged> reached the end of the text without finding a closing tag |
2197 | to match the original opening tag (and the failure mode was not |
2198 | "MAX" or "PARA"). |
