1124 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
1125 | ||
48f821bf JH |
1126 | The various C<extract_...> subroutines may be used to |
1127 | extract a delimited substring, possibly after skipping a | |
1128 | specified prefix string. By default, that prefix is | |
1129 | optional whitespace (C</\s*/>), but you can change it to whatever | |
1130 | you wish (see below). | |
1131 | ||
1132 | The substring to be extracted must appear at the | |
1133 | current C<pos> location of the string's variable | |
1134 | (or at index zero, if no C<pos> position is defined). | |
1135 | In other words, the C<extract_...> subroutines I<don't> | |
3c4b39be | 1136 | extract the first occurrence of a substring anywhere |
48f821bf | 1137 | in a string (like an unanchored regex would). Rather, |
3c4b39be | 1138 | they extract an occurrence of the substring appearing |
48f821bf JH |
1139 | immediately at the current matching position in the |
1140 | string (like a C<\G>-anchored regex would). | |
1141 | ||
1142 | ||
55a1c97c JH |
1143 | |
1144 | =head2 General behaviour in list contexts | |
1145 | ||
1146 | In a list context, all the subroutines return a list, the first three | |
1147 | elements of which are always: | |
1148 | ||
1149 | =over 4 | |
1150 | ||
1151 | =item [0] | |
1152 | ||
1153 | The extracted string, including the specified delimiters. | |
49c03c89 | 1154 | If the extraction fails C<undef> is returned. |
55a1c97c JH |
1155 | |
1156 | =item [1] | |
1157 | ||
1158 | The remainder of the input string (i.e. the characters after the | |
1159 | extracted string). On failure, the entire string is returned. | |
1160 | ||
1161 | =item [2] | |
1162 | ||
1163 | The skipped prefix (i.e. the characters before the extracted string). | |
49c03c89 | 1164 | On failure, C<undef> is returned. |
55a1c97c JH |
1165 | |
1166 | =back | |
1167 | ||
1168 | Note that in a list context, the contents of the original input text (the first | |
1169 | argument) are not modified in any way. | |
1170 | ||
1171 | However, if the input text was passed in a variable, that variable's | |
1172 | C<pos> value is updated to point at the first character after the | |
1173 | extracted text. That means that in a list context the various | |
1174 | subroutines can be used much like regular expressions. For example: | |
1175 | ||
1176 | while ( $next = (extract_quotelike($text))[0] ) | |
1177 | { | |
1178 | # process next quote-like (in $next) | |
1179 | } | |
1180 | ||
1181 | ||
1182 | =head2 General behaviour in scalar and void contexts | |
1183 | ||
1184 | In a scalar context, the extracted string is returned, having first been | |
1185 | removed from the input text. Thus, the following code also processes | |
1186 | each quote-like operation, but actually removes them from $text: | |
1187 | ||
1188 | while ( $next = extract_quotelike($text) ) | |
1189 | { | |
1190 | # process next quote-like (in $next) | |
1191 | } | |
1192 | ||
1193 | Note that if the input text is a read-only string (i.e. a literal), | |
1194 | no attempt is made to remove the extracted text. | |
1195 | ||
1196 | In a void context the behaviour of the extraction subroutines is | |
1197 | exactly the same as in a scalar context, except (of course) that the | |
1198 | extracted substring is not returned. | |
1199 | ||
1200 | =head2 A note about prefixes | |
1201 | ||
1202 | Prefix patterns are matched without any trailing modifiers (C</gimsox> etc.) | |
1203 | This can bite you if you're expecting a prefix specification like | |
1204 | '.*?(?=<H1>)' to skip everything up to the first <H1> tag. Such a prefix | |
1205 | pattern will only succeed if the <H1> tag is on the current line, since | |
1206 | . normally doesn't match newlines. | |
1207 | ||
1208 | To overcome this limitation, you need to turn on /s matching within | |
1209 | the prefix pattern, using the C<(?s)> directive: '(?s).*?(?=<H1>)' | |
1210 | ||
1211 | ||
1212 | =head2 C<extract_delimited> | |
1213 | ||
1214 | The C<extract_delimited> function formalizes the common idiom | |
1215 | of extracting a single-character-delimited substring from the start of | |
1216 | a string. For example, to extract a single-quote delimited string, the | |
1217 | following code is typically used: | |
1218 | ||
1219 | ($remainder = $text) =~ s/\A('(\\.|[^'])*')//s; | |
1220 | $extracted = $1; | |
1221 | ||
1222 | but with C<extract_delimited> it can be simplified to: | |
1223 | ||
1224 | ($extracted,$remainder) = extract_delimited($text, "'"); | |
1225 | ||
1226 | C<extract_delimited> takes up to four scalars (the input text, the | |
1227 | delimiters, a prefix pattern to be skipped, and any escape characters) | |
1228 | and extracts the initial substring of the text that | |
1229 | is appropriately delimited. If the delimiter string has multiple | |
1230 | characters, the first one encountered in the text is taken to delimit | |
1231 | the substring. | |
1232 | The third argument specifies a prefix pattern that is to be skipped | |
1233 | (but must be present!) before the substring is extracted. | |
1234 | The final argument specifies the escape character to be used for each | |
1235 | delimiter. | |
1236 | ||
1237 | All arguments are optional. If the escape characters are not specified, | |
1238 | every delimiter is escaped with a backslash (C<\>). | |
1239 | If the prefix is not specified, the | |
1240 | pattern C<'\s*'> - optional whitespace - is used. If the delimiter set | |
1241 | is also not specified, the set C</["'`]/> is used. If the text to be processed | |
1242 | is not specified either, C<$_> is used. | |
1243 | ||
48f821bf | 1244 | In list context, C<extract_delimited> returns a array of three |
55a1c97c JH |
1245 | elements, the extracted substring (I<including the surrounding |
1246 | delimiters>), the remainder of the text, and the skipped prefix (if | |
1247 | any). If a suitable delimited substring is not found, the first | |
1248 | element of the array is the empty string, the second is the complete | |
1249 | original text, and the prefix returned in the third element is an | |
1250 | empty string. | |
1251 | ||
1252 | In a scalar context, just the extracted substring is returned. In | |
1253 | a void context, the extracted substring (and any prefix) are simply | |
1254 | removed from the beginning of the first argument. | |
1255 | ||
1256 | Examples: | |
1257 | ||
1258 | # Remove a single-quoted substring from the very beginning of $text: | |
1259 | ||
1260 | $substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", ''); | |
1261 | ||
1262 | # Remove a single-quoted Pascalish substring (i.e. one in which | |
1263 | # doubling the quote character escapes it) from the very | |
1264 | # beginning of $text: | |
1265 | ||
1266 | $substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", '', "'"); | |
1267 | ||
1268 | # Extract a single- or double- quoted substring from the | |
1269 | # beginning of $text, optionally after some whitespace | |
1270 | # (note the list context to protect $text from modification): | |
1271 | ||
1272 | ($substring) = extract_delimited $text, q{"'}; | |
1273 | ||
1274 | ||
1275 | # Delete the substring delimited by the first '/' in $text: | |
1276 | ||
1277 | $text = join '', (extract_delimited($text,'/','[^/]*')[2,1]; | |
1278 | ||
1279 | Note that this last example is I<not> the same as deleting the first | |
1280 | quote-like pattern. For instance, if C<$text> contained the string: | |
1281 | ||
1282 | "if ('./cmd' =~ m/$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }" | |
1283 | ||
1284 | then after the deletion it would contain: | |
1285 | ||
1286 | "if ('.$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }" | |
1287 | ||
1288 | not: | |
1289 | ||
1290 | "if ('./cmd' =~ ms) { $cmd = $1; }" | |
1291 | ||
1292 | ||
1293 | See L<"extract_quotelike"> for a (partial) solution to this problem. | |
1294 | ||
1295 | ||
1296 | =head2 C<extract_bracketed> | |
1297 | ||
1298 | Like C<"extract_delimited">, the C<extract_bracketed> function takes | |
1299 | up to three optional scalar arguments: a string to extract from, a delimiter | |
1300 | specifier, and a prefix pattern. As before, a missing prefix defaults to | |
1301 | optional whitespace and a missing text defaults to C<$_>. However, a missing | |
1302 | delimiter specifier defaults to C<'{}()[]E<lt>E<gt>'> (see below). | |
1303 | ||
1304 | C<extract_bracketed> extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited | |
1305 | substring (using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter | |
1306 | brackets: '(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>'). Optionally it will also | |
1307 | respect quoted unbalanced brackets (see below). | |
1308 | ||
1309 | A "delimiter bracket" is a bracket in list of delimiters passed as | |
1310 | C<extract_bracketed>'s second argument. Delimiter brackets are | |
1311 | specified by giving either the left or right (or both!) versions | |
1312 | of the required bracket(s). Note that the order in which | |
1313 | two or more delimiter brackets are specified is not significant. | |
1314 | ||
1315 | A "balanced-bracket-delimited substring" is a substring bounded by | |
1316 | matched brackets, such that any other (left or right) delimiter | |
1317 | bracket I<within> the substring is also matched by an opposite | |
1318 | (right or left) delimiter bracket I<at the same level of nesting>. Any | |
1319 | type of bracket not in the delimiter list is treated as an ordinary | |
1320 | character. | |
1321 | ||
1322 | In other words, each type of bracket specified as a delimiter must be | |
1323 | balanced and correctly nested within the substring, and any other kind of | |
1324 | ("non-delimiter") bracket in the substring is ignored. | |
1325 | ||
1326 | For example, given the string: | |
1327 | ||
1328 | $text = "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }"; | |
1329 | ||
1330 | then a call to C<extract_bracketed> in a list context: | |
1331 | ||
1332 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{}' ); | |
1333 | ||
1334 | would return: | |
1335 | ||
1336 | ( "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" , "" , "" ) | |
1337 | ||
1338 | since both sets of C<'{..}'> brackets are properly nested and evenly balanced. | |
1339 | (In a scalar context just the first element of the array would be returned. In | |
1340 | a void context, C<$text> would be replaced by an empty string.) | |
1341 | ||
1342 | Likewise the call in: | |
1343 | ||
1344 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{[' ); | |
1345 | ||
1346 | would return the same result, since all sets of both types of specified | |
1347 | delimiter brackets are correctly nested and balanced. | |
1348 | ||
1349 | However, the call in: | |
1350 | ||
1351 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{([<' ); | |
1352 | ||
1353 | would fail, returning: | |
1354 | ||
1355 | ( undef , "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" ); | |
1356 | ||
1357 | because the embedded pairs of C<'(..)'>s and C<'[..]'>s are "cross-nested" and | |
1358 | the embedded C<'E<gt>'> is unbalanced. (In a scalar context, this call would | |
1359 | return an empty string. In a void context, C<$text> would be unchanged.) | |
1360 | ||
1361 | Note that the embedded single-quotes in the string don't help in this | |
1362 | case, since they have not been specified as acceptable delimiters and are | |
1363 | therefore treated as non-delimiter characters (and ignored). | |
1364 | ||
1365 | However, if a particular species of quote character is included in the | |
1366 | delimiter specification, then that type of quote will be correctly handled. | |
1367 | for example, if C<$text> is: | |
1368 | ||
1369 | $text = '<A HREF=">>>>">link</A>'; | |
1370 | ||
1371 | then | |
1372 | ||
1373 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<">' ); | |
1374 | ||
1375 | returns: | |
1376 | ||
1377 | ( '<A HREF=">>>>">', 'link</A>', "" ) | |
1378 | ||
1379 | as expected. Without the specification of C<"> as an embedded quoter: | |
1380 | ||
1381 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<>' ); | |
1382 | ||
1383 | the result would be: | |
1384 | ||
1385 | ( '<A HREF=">', '>>>">link</A>', "" ) | |
1386 | ||
1387 | In addition to the quote delimiters C<'>, C<">, and C<`>, full Perl quote-like | |
1388 | quoting (i.e. q{string}, qq{string}, etc) can be specified by including the | |
1389 | letter 'q' as a delimiter. Hence: | |
1390 | ||
1391 | @result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<q>' ); | |
1392 | ||
1393 | would correctly match something like this: | |
1394 | ||
1395 | $text = '<leftop: conj /and/ conj>'; | |
1396 | ||
1397 | See also: C<"extract_quotelike"> and C<"extract_codeblock">. | |

1400 | =head2 C<extract_variable> |
1401 | ||
1402 | C<extract_variable> extracts any valid Perl variable or | |
1403 | variable-involved expression, including scalars, arrays, hashes, array | |
3c4b39be | 1404 | accesses, hash look-ups, method calls through objects, subroutine calls |
48f821bf JH |
1405 | through subroutine references, etc. |
1406 | ||
1407 | The subroutine takes up to two optional arguments: | |
1408 | ||
1409 | =over 4 | |
1410 | ||
1411 | =item 1. | |
1412 | ||
1413 | A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>) | |
1414 | ||
1415 | =item 2. | |
1416 | ||
1417 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched as a prefix (which is to be | |
1418 | skipped). If omitted, optional whitespace is skipped. | |
1419 | ||
1420 | =back | |
1421 | ||
1422 | On success in a list context, an array of 3 elements is returned. The | |
1423 | elements are: | |
1424 | ||
1425 | =over 4 | |
1426 | ||
1427 | =item [0] | |
1428 | ||
1429 | the extracted variable, or variablish expression | |
1430 | ||
1431 | =item [1] | |
1432 | ||
1433 | the remainder of the input text, | |
1434 | ||
1435 | =item [2] | |
1436 | ||
1437 | the prefix substring (if any), | |
1438 | ||
1439 | =back | |
1440 | ||
1441 | On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>. | |
1442 | ||
1443 | In a scalar context, C<extract_variable> returns just the complete | |
1444 | substring that matched a variablish expression. C<undef> is returned on | |
1445 | failure. In addition, the original input text has the returned substring | |
1446 | (and any prefix) removed from it. | |
1447 | ||
1448 | In a void context, the input text just has the matched substring (and | |
1449 | any specified prefix) removed. | |
1450 | ||
1451 | ||
55a1c97c JH |
1452 | =head2 C<extract_tagged> |
1453 | ||
1454 | C<extract_tagged> extracts and segments text between (balanced) | |
1455 | specified tags. | |
1456 | ||
1457 | The subroutine takes up to five optional arguments: | |
1458 | ||
1459 | =over 4 | |
1460 | ||
1461 | =item 1. | |
1462 | ||
1463 | A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>) | |
1464 | ||
1465 | =item 2. | |
1466 | ||
1467 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched as the opening tag. | |
1468 | If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then a pattern | |
48f821bf | 1469 | that matches any standard XML tag is used. |
55a1c97c JH |
1470 | |
1471 | =item 3. | |
1472 | ||
1473 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched at the closing tag. | |
1474 | If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then the closing | |
1475 | tag is constructed by inserting a C</> after any leading bracket | |
1476 | characters in the actual opening tag that was matched (I<not> the pattern | |
1477 | that matched the tag). For example, if the opening tag pattern | |
1478 | is specified as C<'{{\w+}}'> and actually matched the opening tag | |
1479 | C<"{{DATA}}">, then the constructed closing tag would be C<"{{/DATA}}">. | |
1480 | ||
1481 | =item 4. | |
1482 | ||
1483 | A string specifying a pattern to be matched as a prefix (which is to be | |
1484 | skipped). If omitted, optional whitespace is skipped. | |
1485 | ||
1486 | =item 5. | |
1487 | ||
1488 | A hash reference containing various parsing options (see below) | |
1489 | ||
1490 | =back | |
1491 | ||
1492 | The various options that can be specified are: | |
1493 | ||
1494 | =over 4 | |
1495 | ||
1496 | =item C<reject =E<gt> $listref> | |
1497 | ||
1498 | The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns | |
1499 | that must I<not> appear within the tagged text. | |
1500 | ||
1501 | For example, to extract | |
1502 | an HTML link (which should not contain nested links) use: | |
1503 | ||
48f821bf | 1504 | extract_tagged($text, '<A>', '</A>', undef, {reject => ['<A>']} ); |
55a1c97c JH |
1505 | |
1506 | =item C<ignore =E<gt> $listref> | |
1507 | ||
1508 | The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns | |
1509 | that are I<not> be be treated as nested tags within the tagged text | |
1510 | (even if they would match the start tag pattern). | |
1511 | ||
1512 | For example, to extract an arbitrary XML tag, but ignore "empty" elements: | |
1513 | ||
48f821bf | 1514 | extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => ['<[^>]*/>']} ); |
55a1c97c JH |
1515 | |
1516 | (also see L<"gen_delimited_pat"> below). | |
1517 | ||
1518 | ||
1519 | =item C<fail =E<gt> $str> | |
1520 | ||
1521 | The C<fail> option indicates the action to be taken if a matching end | |
1522 | tag is not encountered (i.e. before the end of the string or some | |
1523 | C<reject> pattern matches). By default, a failure to match a closing | |
1524 | tag causes C<extract_tagged> to immediately fail. | |
1525 | ||
1526 | However, if the string value associated with <reject> is "MAX", then | |
1527 | C<extract_tagged> returns the complete text up to the point of failure. | |
1528 | If the string is "PARA", C<extract_tagged> returns only the first paragraph | |
1529 | after the tag (up to the first line that is either empty or contains | |
1530 | only whitespace characters). | |
48f821bf | 1531 | If the string is "", the the default behaviour (i.e. failure) is reinstated. |
55a1c97c JH |
1532 | |
1533 | For example, suppose the start tag "/para" introduces a paragraph, which then | |
1534 | continues until the next "/endpara" tag or until another "/para" tag is | |
1535 | encountered: | |
1536 | ||
48f821bf | 1537 | $text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4"; |
55a1c97c | 1538 | |
48f821bf JH |
1539 | extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef, |
1540 | {reject => '/para', fail => MAX ); | |
55a1c97c | 1541 | |
48f821bf | 1542 | # EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n" |
55a1c97c JH |
1543 | |
1544 | Suppose instead, that if no matching "/endpara" tag is found, the "/para" | |
1545 | tag refers only to the immediately following paragraph: | |
1546 | ||
48f821bf | 1547 | $text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4"; |
55a1c97c | 1548 | |
48f821bf JH |
1549 | extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef, |
1550 | {reject => '/para', fail => MAX ); | |
55a1c97c | 1551 | |
48f821bf | 1552 | # EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n" |
55a1c97c JH |
1553 | |
1554 | Note that the specified C<fail> behaviour applies to nested tags as well. | |
1555 | ||
1556 | =back | |
1557 | ||
1558 | On success in a list context, an array of 6 elements is returned. The elements are: | |
1559 | ||
1560 | =over 4 | |
1561 | ||
1562 | =item [0] | |
1563 | ||
1564 | the extracted tagged substring (including the outermost tags), | |
1565 | ||
1566 | =item [1] | |
1567 | ||
1568 | the remainder of the input text, | |
1569 | ||
1570 | =item [2] | |
1571 | ||
1572 | the prefix substring (if any), | |
1573 | ||
1574 | =item [3] | |
1575 | ||
1576 | the opening tag | |
1577 | ||
1578 | =item [4] | |
1579 | ||
1580 | the text between the opening and closing tags | |
1581 | ||
1582 | =item [5] | |
1583 | ||
1584 | the closing tag (or "" if no closing tag was found) | |
1585 | ||
1586 | =back | |
1587 | ||
1588 | On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>. | |
1589 | ||
1590 | In a scalar context, C<extract_tagged> returns just the complete | |
1591 | substring that matched a tagged text (including the start and end | |
1592 | tags). C<undef> is returned on failure. In addition, the original input | |
1593 | text has the returned substring (and any prefix) removed from it. | |
1594 | ||
1595 | In a void context, the input text just has the matched substring (and | |
1596 | any specified prefix) removed. | |
1597 | ||
1598 | ||
1599 | =head2 C<gen_extract_tagged> | |
1600 | ||
1601 | (Note: This subroutine is only available under Perl5.005) | |
1602 | ||
1603 | C<gen_extract_tagged> generates a new anonymous subroutine which | |
1604 | extracts text between (balanced) specified tags. In other words, | |
1605 | it generates a function identical in function to C<extract_tagged>. | |
1606 | ||
1607 | The difference between C<extract_tagged> and the anonymous | |
1608 | subroutines generated by | |
1609 | C<gen_extract_tagged>, is that those generated subroutines: | |
1610 | ||
1611 | =over 4 | |
1612 | ||
1613 | =item * | |
1614 | ||
1615 | do not have to reparse tag specification or parsing options every time | |
1616 | they are called (whereas C<extract_tagged> has to effectively rebuild | |
1617 | its tag parser on every call); | |
1618 | ||
1619 | =item * | |
1620 | ||
1621 | make use of the new qr// construct to pre-compile the regexes they use | |
1622 | (whereas C<extract_tagged> uses standard string variable interpolation | |
1623 | to create tag-matching patterns). | |
1624 | ||
1625 | =back | |
1626 | ||
1627 | The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments (the same set as | |
1628 | C<extract_tagged> except for the string to be processed). It returns | |
1629 | a reference to a subroutine which in turn takes a single argument (the text to | |
1630 | be extracted from). | |
1631 | ||
1632 | In other words, the implementation of C<extract_tagged> is exactly | |
1633 | equivalent to: | |
1634 | ||
48f821bf JH |
1635 | sub extract_tagged |
1636 | { | |
1637 | my $text = shift; | |
1638 | $extractor = gen_extract_tagged(@_); | |
1639 | return $extractor->($text); | |
1640 | } | |
55a1c97c JH |
1641 | |
1642 | (although C<extract_tagged> is not currently implemented that way, in order | |
1643 | to preserve pre-5.005 compatibility). | |
1644 | ||
1645 | Using C<gen_extract_tagged> to create extraction functions for specific tags | |
1646 | is a good idea if those functions are going to be called more than once, since | |
1647 | their performance is typically twice as good as the more general-purpose | |
1648 | C<extract_tagged>. | |
1649 | ||
1650 | ||
1651 | =head2 C<extract_quotelike> | |
1652 | ||
1653 | C<extract_quotelike> attempts to recognize, extract, and segment any | |
1654 | one of the various Perl quotes and quotelike operators (see | |
1655 | L<perlop(3)>) Nested backslashed delimiters, embedded balanced bracket | |
1656 | delimiters (for the quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are | |
1657 | all caught. For example, in: | |
1658 | ||
48f821bf JH |
1659 | extract_quotelike 'q # an octothorpe: \# (not the end of the q!) #' |
1660 | ||
1661 | extract_quotelike ' "You said, \"Use sed\"." ' | |
55a1c97c | 1662 | |
48f821bf | 1663 | extract_quotelike ' s{([A-Z]{1,8}\.[A-Z]{3})} /\L$1\E/; ' |
55a1c97c | 1664 | |
48f821bf | 1665 | extract_quotelike ' tr/\\\/\\\\/\\\//ds; ' |
55a1c97c JH |
1666 | |
1667 | the full Perl quotelike operations are all extracted correctly. | |
1668 | ||
1669 | Note too that, when using the /x modifier on a regex, any comment | |
1670 | containing the current pattern delimiter will cause the regex to be | |
1671 | immediately terminated. In other words: | |
1672 | ||
48f821bf JH |
1673 | 'm / |
1674 | (?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE | |
1675 | [a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/UNDERSCORE | |
1676 | [a-z0-9]* # FOLLOWED BY ANY NUMBER OF ALPHANUMERICS | |
1677 | /x' | |
55a1c97c JH |
1678 | |
1679 | will be extracted as if it were: | |
1680 | ||
48f821bf JH |
1681 | 'm / |
1682 | (?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE | |
1683 | [a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/' | |
55a1c97c JH |
1684 | |
1685 | This behaviour is identical to that of the actual compiler. | |
1686 | ||
1687 | C<extract_quotelike> takes two arguments: the text to be processed and | |
1688 | a prefix to be matched at the very beginning of the text. If no prefix | |
1689 | is specified, optional whitespace is the default. If no text is given, | |
1690 | C<$_> is used. | |
1691 | ||
1692 | In a list context, an array of 11 elements is returned. The elements are: | |
1693 | ||
1694 | =over 4 | |
1695 | ||
1696 | =item [0] | |
1697 | ||
1698 | the extracted quotelike substring (including trailing modifiers), | |
1699 | ||
1700 | =item [1] | |
1701 | ||
1702 | the remainder of the input text, | |
1703 | ||
1704 | =item [2] | |
1705 | ||
1706 | the prefix substring (if any), | |
1707 | ||
1708 | =item [3] | |
1709 | ||
1710 | the name of the quotelike operator (if any), | |
1711 | ||
1712 | =item [4] | |
1713 | ||
1714 | the left delimiter of the first block of the operation, | |
1715 | ||
1716 | =item [5] | |
1717 | ||
1718 | the text of the first block of the operation | |
1719 | (that is, the contents of | |
1720 | a quote, the regex of a match or substitution or the target list of a | |
1721 | translation), | |
1722 | ||
1723 | =item [6] | |
1724 | ||
1725 | the right delimiter of the first block of the operation, | |
1726 | ||
1727 | =item [7] | |
1728 | ||
1729 | the left delimiter of the second block of the operation | |
48f821bf | 1730 | (that is, if it is a C<s>, C<tr>, or C<y>), |
55a1c97c JH |
1731 | |
1732 | =item [8] | |
1733 | ||
1734 | the text of the second block of the operation | |
1735 | (that is, the replacement of a substitution or the translation list | |
1736 | of a translation), | |
1737 | ||
1738 | =item [9] | |
1739 | ||
1740 | the right delimiter of the second block of the operation (if any), | |
1741 | ||
1742 | =item [10] | |
1743 | ||
1744 | the trailing modifiers on the operation (if any). | |
1745 | ||
1746 | =back | |
1747 | ||
1748 | For each of the fields marked "(if any)" the default value on success is | |
1749 | an empty string. | |
1750 | On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>. | |
1751 | ||
1752 | ||
1753 | In a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike> returns just the complete substring | |
1754 | that matched a quotelike operation (or C<undef> on failure). In a scalar or | |
1755 | void context, the input text has the same substring (and any specified | |
1756 | prefix) removed. | |
1757 | ||
1758 | Examples: | |
1759 | ||
48f821bf | 1760 | # Remove the first quotelike literal that appears in text |
55a1c97c | 1761 | |
48f821bf | 1762 | $quotelike = extract_quotelike($text,'.*?'); |
55a1c97c | 1763 | |
48f821bf JH |
1764 | # Replace one or more leading whitespace-separated quotelike |
1765 | # literals in $_ with "<QLL>" | |
55a1c97c | 1766 | |
48f821bf | 1767 | do { $_ = join '<QLL>', (extract_quotelike)[2,1] } until $@; |
55a1c97c JH |
1768 | |
1769 | ||
48f821bf | 1770 | # Isolate the search pattern in a quotelike operation from $text |
55a1c97c | 1771 | |
48f821bf JH |
1772 | ($op,$pat) = (extract_quotelike $text)[3,5]; |
1773 | if ($op =~ /[ms]/) | |
1774 | { | |
1775 | print "search pattern: $pat\n"; | |
1776 | } | |
1777 | else | |
1778 | { | |
1779 | print "$op is not a pattern matching operation\n"; | |
1780 | } | |
55a1c97c JH |
1781 | |
1782 | ||
1783 | =head2 C<extract_quotelike> and "here documents" | |
1784 | ||
1785 | C<extract_quotelike> can successfully extract "here documents" from an input | |
1786 | string, but with an important caveat in list contexts. | |
1787 | ||
1788 | Unlike other types of quote-like literals, a here document is rarely | |
1789 | a contiguous substring. For example, a typical piece of code using | |
1790 | here document might look like this: | |
1791 | ||
1792 | <<'EOMSG' || die; | |
1793 | This is the message. | |
1794 | EOMSG | |
48f821bf | 1795 | exit; |
55a1c97c JH |
1796 | |
1797 | Given this as an input string in a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike> | |
1798 | would correctly return the string "<<'EOMSG'\nThis is the message.\nEOMSG", | |
1799 | leaving the string " || die;\nexit;" in the original variable. In other words, | |
1800 | the two separate pieces of the here document are successfully extracted and | |
1801 | concatenated. | |
1802 | ||
1803 | In a list context, C<extract_quotelike> would return the list | |
1804 | ||
1805 | =over 4 | |
1806 | ||
1807 | =item [0] | |

1843 | However, the matching position of the input variable would be set to | |

1847 | ||
48f821bf | 1848 | To avoid this problem, when it encounters a here document whilst |
55a1c97c JH |
1849 | extracting from a modifiable string, C<extract_quotelike> silently |
1850 | rearranges the string to an equivalent piece of Perl: | |

1852 | <<'EOMSG' | |
1853 | This is the message. | |
1854 | EOMSG | |
1855 | || die; | |

55a1c97c JH |
1857 | |
1858 | in which the here document I<is> contiguous. It still leaves the | |
1859 | matching position after the here document, but now the rest of the line | |
1860 | on which the here document starts is not skipped. | |
1861 | ||
1862 | To prevent <extract_quotelike> from mucking about with the input in this way | |
1863 | (this is the only case where a list-context C<extract_quotelike> does so), | |
1864 | you can pass the input variable as an interpolated literal: | |
1865 | ||
1866 | $quotelike = extract_quotelike("$var"); | |
1867 | ||
1868 | ||
1869 | =head2 C<extract_codeblock> | |
1870 | ||
1871 | C<extract_codeblock> attempts to recognize and extract a balanced | |
1872 | bracket delimited substring that may contain unbalanced brackets | |
1873 | inside Perl quotes or quotelike operations. That is, C<extract_codeblock> | |
1874 | is like a combination of C<"extract_bracketed"> and | |
1875 | C<"extract_quotelike">. | |
1876 | ||
1877 | C<extract_codeblock> takes the same initial three parameters as C<extract_bracketed>: | |
1878 | a text to process, a set of delimiter brackets to look for, and a prefix to | |
1879 | match first. It also takes an optional fourth parameter, which allows the | |
1880 | outermost delimiter brackets to be specified separately (see below). | |
1881 | ||
1882 | Omitting the first argument (input text) means process C<$_> instead. | |
1883 | Omitting the second argument (delimiter brackets) indicates that only C<'{'> is to be used. | |
1884 | Omitting the third argument (prefix argument) implies optional whitespace at the start. | |
1885 | Omitting the fourth argument (outermost delimiter brackets) indicates that the | |
1886 | value of the second argument is to be used for the outermost delimiters. | |
1887 | ||
48f821bf | 1888 | Once the prefix an dthe outermost opening delimiter bracket have been |
55a1c97c JH |
1889 | recognized, code blocks are extracted by stepping through the input text and |
1890 | trying the following alternatives in sequence: | |
1891 | ||
1892 | =over 4 | |
1893 | ||
1894 | =item 1. | |
1895 | ||
1896 | Try and match a closing delimiter bracket. If the bracket was the same | |
1897 | species as the last opening bracket, return the substring to that | |
1898 | point. If the bracket was mismatched, return an error. | |
1899 | ||
1900 | =item 2. | |
1901 | ||
1902 | Try to match a quote or quotelike operator. If found, call | |
1903 | C<extract_quotelike> to eat it. If C<extract_quotelike> fails, return | |
1904 | the error it returned. Otherwise go back to step 1. | |
1905 | ||
1906 | =item 3. | |
1907 | ||
1908 | Try to match an opening delimiter bracket. If found, call | |
1909 | C<extract_codeblock> recursively to eat the embedded block. If the | |
1910 | recursive call fails, return an error. Otherwise, go back to step 1. | |
1911 | ||
1912 | =item 4. | |
1913 | ||
1914 | Unconditionally match a bareword or any other single character, and | |
1915 | then go back to step 1. | |
1916 | ||
1917 | =back | |
1918 | ||
1919 | ||
1920 | Examples: | |
1921 | ||
1922 | # Find a while loop in the text | |
1923 | ||
1924 | if ($text =~ s/.*?while\s*\{/{/) | |
1925 | { | |
1926 | $loop = "while " . extract_codeblock($text); | |
1927 | } | |
1928 | ||
1929 | # Remove the first round-bracketed list (which may include | |
1930 | # round- or curly-bracketed code blocks or quotelike operators) | |
1931 | ||
1932 | extract_codeblock $text, "(){}", '[^(]*'; | |
1933 | ||
1934 | ||
1935 | The ability to specify a different outermost delimiter bracket is useful | |
1936 | in some circumstances. For example, in the Parse::RecDescent module, | |
1937 | parser actions which are to be performed only on a successful parse | |
1938 | are specified using a C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive. For example: | |
1939 | ||
1940 | sentence: subject verb object | |
1941 | <defer: {$::theVerb = $item{verb}} > | |
1942 | ||
1943 | Parse::RecDescent uses C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}E<lt>E<gt>')> to extract the code | |
1944 | within the C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive, but there's a problem. | |
1945 | ||
1946 | A deferred action like this: | |
1947 | ||
1948 | <defer: {if ($count>10) {$count--}} > | |
1949 | ||
1950 | will be incorrectly parsed as: | |
1951 | ||
1952 | <defer: {if ($count> | |
1953 | ||
1954 | because the "less than" operator is interpreted as a closing delimiter. | |
1955 | ||
1956 | But, by extracting the directive using | |
1957 | S<C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}', undef, 'E<lt>E<gt>')>> | |
1958 | the '>' character is only treated as a delimited at the outermost | |
1959 | level of the code block, so the directive is parsed correctly. | |
1960 | ||
1961 | =head2 C<extract_multiple> | |
1962 | ||
1963 | The C<extract_multiple> subroutine takes a string to be processed and a | |
1964 | list of extractors (subroutines or regular expressions) to apply to that string. | |
1965 | ||
1966 | In an array context C<extract_multiple> returns an array of substrings | |
1967 | of the original string, as extracted by the specified extractors. | |
1968 | In a scalar context, C<extract_multiple> returns the first | |
1969 | substring successfully extracted from the original string. In both | |
1970 | scalar and void contexts the original string has the first successfully | |
1971 | extracted substring removed from it. In all contexts | |
1972 | C<extract_multiple> starts at the current C<pos> of the string, and | |
1973 | sets that C<pos> appropriately after it matches. | |
1974 | ||
48f821bf | 1975 | Hence, the aim of of a call to C<extract_multiple> in a list context |
55a1c97c JH |
1976 | is to split the processed string into as many non-overlapping fields as |
1977 | possible, by repeatedly applying each of the specified extractors | |
1978 | to the remainder of the string. Thus C<extract_multiple> is | |
1979 | a generalized form of Perl's C<split> subroutine. | |
1980 | ||
1981 | The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments: | |
1982 | ||
1983 | =over 4 | |
1984 | ||
1985 | =item 1. | |
1986 | ||
1987 | A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>) | |
1988 | ||
1989 | =item 2. | |
1990 | ||
1991 | A reference to a list of subroutine references and/or qr// objects and/or | |
1992 | literal strings and/or hash references, specifying the extractors | |
1993 | to be used to split the string. If this argument is omitted (or | |
1994 | C<undef>) the list: | |
1995 | ||
1996 | [ | |
1997 | sub { extract_variable($_[0], '') }, | |
1998 | sub { extract_quotelike($_[0],'') }, | |
1999 | sub { extract_codeblock($_[0],'{}','') }, | |
2000 | ] | |
2001 | ||
2002 | is used. | |
2003 | ||
2004 | ||
2005 | =item 3. | |
2006 | ||
48f821bf | 2007 | An number specifying the maximum number of fields to return. If this |
55a1c97c JH |
2008 | argument is omitted (or C<undef>), split continues as long as possible. |
2009 | ||
2010 | If the third argument is I<N>, then extraction continues until I<N> fields | |
2011 | have been successfully extracted, or until the string has been completely | |
2012 | processed. | |
2013 | ||
2014 | Note that in scalar and void contexts the value of this argument is | |
2015 | automatically reset to 1 (under C<-w>, a warning is issued if the argument | |
2016 | has to be reset). | |
2017 | ||
2018 | =item 4. | |
2019 | ||
2020 | A value indicating whether unmatched substrings (see below) within the | |
2021 | text should be skipped or returned as fields. If the value is true, | |
2022 | such substrings are skipped. Otherwise, they are returned. | |
2023 | ||
2024 | =back | |
2025 | ||
2026 | The extraction process works by applying each extractor in | |
a7602084 JH |
2027 | sequence to the text string. |
2028 | ||
2029 | If the extractor is a subroutine it is called in a list context and is | |
2030 | expected to return a list of a single element, namely the extracted | |
2031 | text. It may optionally also return two further arguments: a string | |
2032 | representing the text left after extraction (like $' for a pattern | |
2033 | match), and a string representing any prefix skipped before the | |
2034 | extraction (like $` in a pattern match). Note that this is designed | |
2035 | to facilitate the use of other Text::Balanced subroutines with | |
2036 | C<extract_multiple>. Note too that the value returned by an extractor | |
2037 | subroutine need not bear any relationship to the corresponding substring | |
2038 | of the original text (see examples below). | |
55a1c97c JH |
2039 | |
2040 | If the extractor is a precompiled regular expression or a string, | |
2041 | it is matched against the text in a scalar context with a leading | |
2042 | '\G' and the gc modifiers enabled. The extracted value is either | |
2043 | $1 if that variable is defined after the match, or else the | |
2044 | complete match (i.e. $&). | |
2045 | ||
2046 | If the extractor is a hash reference, it must contain exactly one element. | |
2047 | The value of that element is one of the | |
2048 | above extractor types (subroutine reference, regular expression, or string). | |
2049 | The key of that element is the name of a class into which the successful | |
2050 | return value of the extractor will be blessed. | |
2051 | ||
2052 | If an extractor returns a defined value, that value is immediately | |
2053 | treated as the next extracted field and pushed onto the list of fields. | |
2054 | If the extractor was specified in a hash reference, the field is also | |
2055 | blessed into the appropriate class, | |
2056 | ||
2057 | If the extractor fails to match (in the case of a regex extractor), or returns an empty list or an undefined value (in the case of a subroutine extractor), it is | |
2058 | assumed to have failed to extract. | |
2059 | If none of the extractor subroutines succeeds, then one | |
2060 | character is extracted from the start of the text and the extraction | |
2061 | subroutines reapplied. Characters which are thus removed are accumulated and | |
2062 | eventually become the next field (unless the fourth argument is true, in which | |
3c4b39be | 2063 | case they are discarded). |
55a1c97c JH |
2064 | |
2065 | For example, the following extracts substrings that are valid Perl variables: | |
2066 | ||
2067 | @fields = extract_multiple($text, | |
2068 | [ sub { extract_variable($_[0]) } ], | |
2069 | undef, 1); | |
2070 | ||
2071 | This example separates a text into fields which are quote delimited, | |
2072 | curly bracketed, and anything else. The delimited and bracketed | |
2073 | parts are also blessed to identify them (the "anything else" is unblessed): | |
2074 | ||
2075 | @fields = extract_multiple($text, | |
2076 | [ | |
2077 | { Delim => sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) } }, | |
2078 | { Brack => sub { extract_bracketed($_[0],'{}') } }, | |
2079 | ]); | |
2080 | ||
2081 | This call extracts the next single substring that is a valid Perl quotelike | |
2082 | operator (and removes it from $text): | |
2083 | ||
2084 | $quotelike = extract_multiple($text, | |
2085 | [ | |
2086 | sub { extract_quotelike($_[0]) }, | |
2087 | ], undef, 1); | |
2088 | ||
2089 | Finally, here is yet another way to do comma-separated value parsing: | |
2090 | ||
2091 | @fields = extract_multiple($csv_text, | |
2092 | [ | |
2093 | sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) }, | |
2094 | qr/([^,]+)(.*)/, | |
2095 | ], | |
2096 | undef,1); | |
2097 | ||
2098 | The list in the second argument means: | |
2099 | I<"Try and extract a ' or " delimited string, otherwise extract anything up to a comma...">. | |
2100 | The undef third argument means: | |
2101 | I<"...as many times as possible...">, | |
2102 | and the true value in the fourth argument means | |
2103 | I<"...discarding anything else that appears (i.e. the commas)">. | |
2104 | ||
2105 | If you wanted the commas preserved as separate fields (i.e. like split | |
2106 | does if your split pattern has capturing parentheses), you would | |
2107 | just make the last parameter undefined (or remove it). | |
2108 | ||
2109 | ||
2110 | =head2 C<gen_delimited_pat> | |
2111 | ||
2112 | The C<gen_delimited_pat> subroutine takes a single (string) argument and | |
2113 | > builds a Friedl-style optimized regex that matches a string delimited | |
2114 | by any one of the characters in the single argument. For example: | |
2115 | ||
2116 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'"}) | |
2117 | ||
2118 | returns the regex: | |
2119 | ||
2120 | (?:\"(?:\\\"|(?!\").)*\"|\'(?:\\\'|(?!\').)*\') | |
2121 | ||
2122 | Note that the specified delimiters are automatically quotemeta'd. | |
2123 | ||
2124 | A typical use of C<gen_delimited_pat> would be to build special purpose tags | |
2125 | for C<extract_tagged>. For example, to properly ignore "empty" XML elements | |
2126 | (which might contain quoted strings): | |
2127 | ||
2128 | my $empty_tag = '<(' . gen_delimited_pat(q{'"}) . '|.)+/>'; | |
2129 | ||
2130 | extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => [$empty_tag]} ); | |
2131 | ||
2132 | ||
2133 | C<gen_delimited_pat> may also be called with an optional second argument, | |
2134 | which specifies the "escape" character(s) to be used for each delimiter. | |
2135 | For example to match a Pascal-style string (where ' is the delimiter | |
2136 | and '' is a literal ' within the string): | |
2137 | ||
2138 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'},q{'}); | |
2139 | ||
2140 | Different escape characters can be specified for different delimiters. | |
2141 | For example, to specify that '/' is the escape for single quotes | |
2142 | and '%' is the escape for double quotes: | |
2143 | ||
2144 | gen_delimited_pat(q{'"},q{/%}); | |
2145 | ||
2146 | If more delimiters than escape chars are specified, the last escape char | |
2147 | is used for the remaining delimiters. | |
2148 | If no escape char is specified for a given specified delimiter, '\' is used. | |
2149 | ||
49c03c89 SP |
2150 | =head2 C<delimited_pat> |
2151 | ||
2152 | Note that C<gen_delimited_pat> was previously called C<delimited_pat>. | |
2153 | That name may still be used, but is now deprecated. | |

2156 | =head1 DIAGNOSTICS | |
2157 | ||
2158 | In a list context, all the functions return C<(undef,$original_text)> | |
2159 | on failure. In a scalar context, failure is indicated by returning C<undef> | |
2160 | (in this case the input text is not modified in any way). | |
2161 | ||
2162 | In addition, on failure in I<any> context, the C<$@> variable is set. | |
2163 | Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{error}> returns one of the error diagnostics listed | |
2164 | below. | |
2165 | Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{pos}> returns the offset into the original string at | |
2166 | which the error was detected (although not necessarily where it occurred!) | |
2167 | Printing C<$@> directly produces the error message, with the offset appended. | |
2168 | On success, the C<$@> variable is guaranteed to be C<undef>. | |
2169 | ||
2170 | The available diagnostics are: | |
2171 | ||

2251 | ||
2252 | =item C<No match found for opening bracket> | |
2253 | ||
2254 | C<extract_codeblock> failed to find a closing bracket to match the outermost | |
2255 | opening bracket. | |
2256 | ||
2257 | =item C<Did not find opening tag: /%s/> | |
2258 | ||
2259 | C<extract_tagged> did not find a suitable opening tag (after any specified | |
2260 | prefix was removed). | |
2261 | ||
2262 | =item C<Unable to construct closing tag to match: /%s/> | |
2263 | ||
2264 | C<extract_tagged> matched the specified opening tag and tried to | |
2265 | modify the matched text to produce a matching closing tag (because | |
2266 | none was specified). It failed to generate the closing tag, almost | |
2267 | certainly because the opening tag did not start with a | |
2268 | bracket of some kind. | |
2269 | ||
2270 | =item C<Found invalid nested tag: %s> | |
2271 | ||
2272 | C<extract_tagged> found a nested tag that appeared in the "reject" list | |
2273 | (and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA"). | |
2274 | ||
2275 | =item C<Found unbalanced nested tag: %s> | |
2276 | ||
2277 | C<extract_tagged> found a nested opening tag that was not matched by a | |
2278 | corresponding nested closing tag (and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA"). | |
2279 | ||
2280 | =item C<Did not find closing tag> | |
2281 | ||
2282 | C<extract_tagged> reached the end of the text without finding a closing tag | |
2283 | to match the original opening tag (and the failure mode was not | |
2284 | "MAX" or "PARA"). | |

2298 | ||
2299 | There are undoubtedly serious bugs lurking somewhere in this code, if | |
2300 | only because parts of it give the impression of understanding a great deal | |
2301 | more about Perl than they really do. | |
2302 | ||
2303 | Bug reports and other feedback are most welcome. | |
