Text::Query::SolveAdvancedString(3pm)

NAME

Text::Query::SolveAdvancedString - Apply query expression on strings

SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Query;
  my $q=new Text::Query('hello and world',
                        -parse => 'Text::Query::ParseAdvanced',
                        -solve => 'Text::Query::SolveAdvancedString',
                        -build => 'Text::Query::BuildAdvancedString');
  $q->match('this hello is a world')

DESCRIPTION

Applies an expression built by "Text::Query::BuildAdvancedString" to a list of strings.

METHODS

match ([TARGET])

If "TARGET" is a scalar, "match" returns a true value if the string specified by "TARGET" matches the query object's query expression. If "TARGET" is not given, the match is made against $_.

If "TARGET" is an array, "match" returns a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements. If the elements of the array are references to sub- arrays, the match is done against the first element of each sub-array. This allows arbitrary information (e.g. filenames) to be associated with each string to match.

If "TARGET" is a reference to an array, "match" returns a reference to a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements.

matchscalar ([TARGET]): Behaves just like "MATCH" when "TARGET" is a scalar or is not given. Slightly faster than "MATCH" under these circumstances.
