=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The various C<extract_...> subroutines may be used to extract a
|
|
delimited string (possibly after skipping a specified prefix string).
|
|
The search for the string always begins at the current C<pos>
|
|
location of the string's variable (or at index zero, if no C<pos>
|
|
position is defined).
|
|
|
|
=head2 General behaviour in list contexts
|
|
|
|
In a list context, all the subroutines return a list, the first three
|
|
elements of which are always:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item [0]
|
|
|
|
The extracted string, including the specified delimiters.
|
|
If the extraction fails an empty string is returned.
|
|
|
|
=item [1]
|
|
|
|
The remainder of the input string (i.e. the characters after the
|
|
extracted string). On failure, the entire string is returned.
|
|
|
|
=item [2]
|
|
|
|
The skipped prefix (i.e. the characters before the extracted string).
|
|
On failure, the empty string is returned.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
Note that in a list context, the contents of the original input text (the first
|
|
argument) are not modified in any way.
|
|
|
|
However, if the input text was passed in a variable, that variable's
|
|
C<pos> value is updated to point at the first character after the
|
|
extracted text. That means that in a list context the various
|
|
subroutines can be used much like regular expressions. For example:
|
|
|
|
while ( $next = (extract_quotelike($text))[0] )
|
|
{
|
|
# process next quote-like (in $next)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 General behaviour in scalar and void contexts
|
|
|
|
In a scalar context, the extracted string is returned, having first been
|
|
removed from the input text. Thus, the following code also processes
|
|
each quote-like operation, but actually removes them from $text:
|
|
|
|
while ( $next = extract_quotelike($text) )
|
|
{
|
|
# process next quote-like (in $next)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Note that if the input text is a read-only string (i.e. a literal),
|
|
no attempt is made to remove the extracted text.
|
|
|
|
In a void context the behaviour of the extraction subroutines is
|
|
exactly the same as in a scalar context, except (of course) that the
|
|
extracted substring is not returned.
|
|
|
|
=head2 A note about prefixes
|
|
|
|
Prefix patterns are matched without any trailing modifiers (C</gimsox> etc.)
|
|
This can bite you if you're expecting a prefix specification like
|
|
'.*?(?=<H1>)' to skip everything up to the first <H1> tag. Such a prefix
|
|
pattern will only succeed if the <H1> tag is on the current line, since
|
|
. normally doesn't match newlines.
|
|
|
|
To overcome this limitation, you need to turn on /s matching within
|
|
the prefix pattern, using the C<(?s)> directive: '(?s).*?(?=<H1>)'
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_delimited>
|
|
|
|
The C<extract_delimited> function formalizes the common idiom
|
|
of extracting a single-character-delimited substring from the start of
|
|
a string. For example, to extract a single-quote delimited string, the
|
|
following code is typically used:
|
|
|
|
($remainder = $text) =~ s/\A('(\\.|[^'])*')//s;
|
|
$extracted = $1;
|
|
|
|
but with C<extract_delimited> it can be simplified to:
|
|
|
|
($extracted,$remainder) = extract_delimited($text, "'");
|
|
|
|
C<extract_delimited> takes up to four scalars (the input text, the
|
|
delimiters, a prefix pattern to be skipped, and any escape characters)
|
|
and extracts the initial substring of the text that
|
|
is appropriately delimited. If the delimiter string has multiple
|
|
characters, the first one encountered in the text is taken to delimit
|
|
the substring.
|
|
The third argument specifies a prefix pattern that is to be skipped
|
|
(but must be present!) before the substring is extracted.
|
|
The final argument specifies the escape character to be used for each
|
|
delimiter.
|
|
|
|
All arguments are optional. If the escape characters are not specified,
|
|
every delimiter is escaped with a backslash (C<\>).
|
|
If the prefix is not specified, the
|
|
pattern C<'\s*'> - optional whitespace - is used. If the delimiter set
|
|
is also not specified, the set C</["'`]/> is used. If the text to be processed
|
|
is not specified either, C<$_> is used.
|
|
|
|
In list context, C<extract_delimited> returns an array of three
|
|
elements, the extracted substring (I<including the surrounding
|
|
delimiters>), the remainder of the text, and the skipped prefix (if
|
|
any). If a suitable delimited substring is not found, the first
|
|
element of the array is the empty string, the second is the complete
|
|
original text, and the prefix returned in the third element is an
|
|
empty string.
|
|
|
|
In a scalar context, just the extracted substring is returned. In
|
|
a void context, the extracted substring (and any prefix) are simply
|
|
removed from the beginning of the first argument.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
# Remove a single-quoted substring from the very beginning of $text:
|
|
|
|
$substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", '');
|
|
|
|
# Remove a single-quoted Pascalish substring (i.e. one in which
|
|
# doubling the quote character escapes it) from the very
|
|
# beginning of $text:
|
|
|
|
$substring = extract_delimited($text, "'", '', "'");
|
|
|
|
# Extract a single- or double- quoted substring from the
|
|
# beginning of $text, optionally after some whitespace
|
|
# (note the list context to protect $text from modification):
|
|
|
|
($substring) = extract_delimited $text, q{"'};
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Delete the substring delimited by the first '/' in $text:
|
|
|
|
$text = join '', (extract_delimited($text,'/','[^/]*')[2,1];
|
|
|
|
Note that this last example is I<not> the same as deleting the first
|
|
quote-like pattern. For instance, if C<$text> contained the string:
|
|
|
|
"if ('./cmd' =~ m/$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }"
|
|
|
|
then after the deletion it would contain:
|
|
|
|
"if ('.$UNIXCMD/s) { $cmd = $1; }"
|
|
|
|
not:
|
|
|
|
"if ('./cmd' =~ ms) { $cmd = $1; }"
|
|
|
|
|
|
See L<"extract_quotelike"> for a (partial) solution to this problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_bracketed>
|
|
|
|
Like C<"extract_delimited">, the C<extract_bracketed> function takes
|
|
up to three optional scalar arguments: a string to extract from, a delimiter
|
|
specifier, and a prefix pattern. As before, a missing prefix defaults to
|
|
optional whitespace and a missing text defaults to C<$_>. However, a missing
|
|
delimiter specifier defaults to C<'{}()[]E<lt>E<gt>'> (see below).
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed> extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited
|
|
substring (using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter
|
|
brackets: '(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>'). Optionally it will also
|
|
respect quoted unbalanced brackets (see below).
|
|
|
|
A "delimiter bracket" is a bracket in list of delimiters passed as
|
|
C<extract_bracketed>'s second argument. Delimiter brackets are
|
|
specified by giving either the left or right (or both!) versions
|
|
of the required bracket(s). Note that the order in which
|
|
two or more delimiter brackets are specified is not significant.
|
|
|
|
A "balanced-bracket-delimited substring" is a substring bounded by
|
|
matched brackets, such that any other (left or right) delimiter
|
|
bracket I<within> the substring is also matched by an opposite
|
|
(right or left) delimiter bracket I<at the same level of nesting>. Any
|
|
type of bracket not in the delimiter list is treated as an ordinary
|
|
character.
|
|
|
|
In other words, each type of bracket specified as a delimiter must be
|
|
balanced and correctly nested within the substring, and any other kind of
|
|
("non-delimiter") bracket in the substring is ignored.
|
|
|
|
For example, given the string:
|
|
|
|
$text = "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }";
|
|
|
|
then a call to C<extract_bracketed> in a list context:
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{}' );
|
|
|
|
would return:
|
|
|
|
( "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" , "" , "" )
|
|
|
|
since both sets of C<'{..}'> brackets are properly nested and evenly balanced.
|
|
(In a scalar context just the first element of the array would be returned. In
|
|
a void context, C<$text> would be replaced by an empty string.)
|
|
|
|
Likewise the call in:
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{[' );
|
|
|
|
would return the same result, since all sets of both types of specified
|
|
delimiter brackets are correctly nested and balanced.
|
|
|
|
However, the call in:
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '{([<' );
|
|
|
|
would fail, returning:
|
|
|
|
( undef , "{ an '[irregularly :-(] {} parenthesized >:-)' string }" );
|
|
|
|
because the embedded pairs of C<'(..)'>s and C<'[..]'>s are "cross-nested" and
|
|
the embedded C<'E<gt>'> is unbalanced. (In a scalar context, this call would
|
|
return an empty string. In a void context, C<$text> would be unchanged.)
|
|
|
|
Note that the embedded single-quotes in the string don't help in this
|
|
case, since they have not been specified as acceptable delimiters and are
|
|
therefore treated as non-delimiter characters (and ignored).
|
|
|
|
However, if a particular species of quote character is included in the
|
|
delimiter specification, then that type of quote will be correctly handled.
|
|
for example, if C<$text> is:
|
|
|
|
$text = '<A HREF=">>>>">link</A>';
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<">' );
|
|
|
|
returns:
|
|
|
|
( '<A HREF=">>>>">', 'link</A>', "" )
|
|
|
|
as expected. Without the specification of C<"> as an embedded quoter:
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<>' );
|
|
|
|
the result would be:
|
|
|
|
( '<A HREF=">', '>>>">link</A>', "" )
|
|
|
|
In addition to the quote delimiters C<'>, C<">, and C<`>, full Perl quote-like
|
|
quoting (i.e. q{string}, qq{string}, etc) can be specified by including the
|
|
letter 'q' as a delimiter. Hence:
|
|
|
|
@result = extract_bracketed( $text, '<q>' );
|
|
|
|
would correctly match something like this:
|
|
|
|
$text = '<leftop: conj /and/ conj>';
|
|
|
|
See also: C<"extract_quotelike"> and C<"extract_codeblock">.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_tagged>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> extracts and segments text between (balanced)
|
|
specified tags.
|
|
|
|
The subroutine takes up to five optional arguments:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>)
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
A string specifying a pattern to be matched as the opening tag.
|
|
If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then a pattern
|
|
that matches any standard HTML/XML tag is used.
|
|
|
|
=item 3.
|
|
|
|
A string specifying a pattern to be matched at the closing tag.
|
|
If the pattern string is omitted (or C<undef>) then the closing
|
|
tag is constructed by inserting a C</> after any leading bracket
|
|
characters in the actual opening tag that was matched (I<not> the pattern
|
|
that matched the tag). For example, if the opening tag pattern
|
|
is specified as C<'{{\w+}}'> and actually matched the opening tag
|
|
C<"{{DATA}}">, then the constructed closing tag would be C<"{{/DATA}}">.
|
|
|
|
=item 4.
|
|
|
|
A string specifying a pattern to be matched as a prefix (which is to be
|
|
skipped). If omitted, optional whitespace is skipped.
|
|
|
|
=item 5.
|
|
|
|
A hash reference containing various parsing options (see below)
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The various options that can be specified are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item C<reject =E<gt> $listref>
|
|
|
|
The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns
|
|
that must I<not> appear within the tagged text.
|
|
|
|
For example, to extract
|
|
an HTML link (which should not contain nested links) use:
|
|
|
|
extract_tagged($text, '<A>', '</A>', undef, {reject => ['<A>']} );
|
|
|
|
=item C<ignore =E<gt> $listref>
|
|
|
|
The list reference contains one or more strings specifying patterns
|
|
that are I<not> be be treated as nested tags within the tagged text
|
|
(even if they would match the start tag pattern).
|
|
|
|
For example, to extract an arbitrary XML tag, but ignore "empty" elements:
|
|
|
|
extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => ['<[^>]*/>']} );
|
|
|
|
(also see L<"gen_delimited_pat"> below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item C<fail =E<gt> $str>
|
|
|
|
The C<fail> option indicates the action to be taken if a matching end
|
|
tag is not encountered (i.e. before the end of the string or some
|
|
C<reject> pattern matches). By default, a failure to match a closing
|
|
tag causes C<extract_tagged> to immediately fail.
|
|
|
|
However, if the string value associated with <reject> is "MAX", then
|
|
C<extract_tagged> returns the complete text up to the point of failure.
|
|
If the string is "PARA", C<extract_tagged> returns only the first paragraph
|
|
after the tag (up to the first line that is either empty or contains
|
|
only whitespace characters).
|
|
If the string is "", the default behaviour (i.e. failure) is reinstated.
|
|
|
|
For example, suppose the start tag "/para" introduces a paragraph, which then
|
|
continues until the next "/endpara" tag or until another "/para" tag is
|
|
encountered:
|
|
|
|
$text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4";
|
|
|
|
extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef,
|
|
{reject => '/para', fail => MAX );
|
|
|
|
# EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n"
|
|
|
|
Suppose instead, that if no matching "/endpara" tag is found, the "/para"
|
|
tag refers only to the immediately following paragraph:
|
|
|
|
$text = "/para line 1\n\nline 3\n/para line 4";
|
|
|
|
extract_tagged($text, '/para', '/endpara', undef,
|
|
{reject => '/para', fail => MAX );
|
|
|
|
# EXTRACTED: "/para line 1\n"
|
|
|
|
Note that the specified C<fail> behaviour applies to nested tags as well.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
On success in a list context, an array of 6 elements is returned. The elements are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item [0]
|
|
|
|
the extracted tagged substring (including the outermost tags),
|
|
|
|
=item [1]
|
|
|
|
the remainder of the input text,
|
|
|
|
=item [2]
|
|
|
|
the prefix substring (if any),
|
|
|
|
=item [3]
|
|
|
|
the opening tag
|
|
|
|
=item [4]
|
|
|
|
the text between the opening and closing tags
|
|
|
|
=item [5]
|
|
|
|
the closing tag (or "" if no closing tag was found)
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>.
|
|
|
|
In a scalar context, C<extract_tagged> returns just the complete
|
|
substring that matched a tagged text (including the start and end
|
|
tags). C<undef> is returned on failure. In addition, the original input
|
|
text has the returned substring (and any prefix) removed from it.
|
|
|
|
In a void context, the input text just has the matched substring (and
|
|
any specified prefix) removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<gen_extract_tagged>
|
|
|
|
(Note: This subroutine is only available under Perl5.005)
|
|
|
|
C<gen_extract_tagged> generates a new anonymous subroutine which
|
|
extracts text between (balanced) specified tags. In other words,
|
|
it generates a function identical in function to C<extract_tagged>.
|
|
|
|
The difference between C<extract_tagged> and the anonymous
|
|
subroutines generated by
|
|
C<gen_extract_tagged>, is that those generated subroutines:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
do not have to reparse tag specification or parsing options every time
|
|
they are called (whereas C<extract_tagged> has to effectively rebuild
|
|
its tag parser on every call);
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
make use of the new qr// construct to pre-compile the regexes they use
|
|
(whereas C<extract_tagged> uses standard string variable interpolation
|
|
to create tag-matching patterns).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments (the same set as
|
|
C<extract_tagged> except for the string to be processed). It returns
|
|
a reference to a subroutine which in turn takes a single argument (the text to
|
|
be extracted from).
|
|
|
|
In other words, the implementation of C<extract_tagged> is exactly
|
|
equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
sub extract_tagged
|
|
{
|
|
my $text = shift;
|
|
$extractor = gen_extract_tagged(@_);
|
|
return $extractor->($text);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
(although C<extract_tagged> is not currently implemented that way, in order
|
|
to preserve pre-5.005 compatibility).
|
|
|
|
Using C<gen_extract_tagged> to create extraction functions for specific tags
|
|
is a good idea if those functions are going to be called more than once, since
|
|
their performance is typically twice as good as the more general-purpose
|
|
C<extract_tagged>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_quotelike>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> attempts to recognize, extract, and segment any
|
|
one of the various Perl quotes and quotelike operators (see
|
|
L<perlop(3)>) Nested backslashed delimiters, embedded balanced bracket
|
|
delimiters (for the quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are
|
|
all caught. For example, in:
|
|
|
|
extract_quotelike 'q # an octothorpe: \# (not the end of the q!) #'
|
|
|
|
extract_quotelike ' "You said, \"Use sed\"." '
|
|
|
|
extract_quotelike ' s{([A-Z]{1,8}\.[A-Z]{3})} /\L$1\E/; '
|
|
|
|
extract_quotelike ' tr/\\\/\\\\/\\\//ds; '
|
|
|
|
the full Perl quotelike operations are all extracted correctly.
|
|
|
|
Note too that, when using the /x modifier on a regex, any comment
|
|
containing the current pattern delimiter will cause the regex to be
|
|
immediately terminated. In other words:
|
|
|
|
'm /
|
|
(?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE
|
|
[a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/UNDERSCORE
|
|
[a-z0-9]* # FOLLOWED BY ANY NUMBER OF ALPHANUMERICS
|
|
/x'
|
|
|
|
will be extracted as if it were:
|
|
|
|
'm /
|
|
(?i) # CASE INSENSITIVE
|
|
[a-z_] # LEADING ALPHABETIC/'
|
|
|
|
This behaviour is identical to that of the actual compiler.
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> takes two arguments: the text to be processed and
|
|
a prefix to be matched at the very beginning of the text. If no prefix
|
|
is specified, optional whitespace is the default. If no text is given,
|
|
C<$_> is used.
|
|
|
|
In a list context, an array of 11 elements is returned. The elements are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item [0]
|
|
|
|
the extracted quotelike substring (including trailing modifiers),
|
|
|
|
=item [1]
|
|
|
|
the remainder of the input text,
|
|
|
|
=item [2]
|
|
|
|
the prefix substring (if any),
|
|
|
|
=item [3]
|
|
|
|
the name of the quotelike operator (if any),
|
|
|
|
=item [4]
|
|
|
|
the left delimiter of the first block of the operation,
|
|
|
|
=item [5]
|
|
|
|
the text of the first block of the operation
|
|
(that is, the contents of
|
|
a quote, the regex of a match or substitution or the target list of a
|
|
translation),
|
|
|
|
=item [6]
|
|
|
|
the right delimiter of the first block of the operation,
|
|
|
|
=item [7]
|
|
|
|
the left delimiter of the second block of the operation
|
|
(that is, if it is an C<s>, C<tr>, or C<y>),
|
|
|
|
=item [8]
|
|
|
|
the text of the second block of the operation
|
|
(that is, the replacement of a substitution or the translation list
|
|
of a translation),
|
|
|
|
=item [9]
|
|
|
|
the right delimiter of the second block of the operation (if any),
|
|
|
|
=item [10]
|
|
|
|
the trailing modifiers on the operation (if any).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
For each of the fields marked "(if any)" the default value on success is
|
|
an empty string.
|
|
On failure, all of these values (except the remaining text) are C<undef>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike> returns just the complete substring
|
|
that matched a quotelike operation (or C<undef> on failure). In a scalar or
|
|
void context, the input text has the same substring (and any specified
|
|
prefix) removed.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
# Remove the first quotelike literal that appears in text
|
|
|
|
$quotelike = extract_quotelike($text,'.*?');
|
|
|
|
# Replace one or more leading whitespace-separated quotelike
|
|
# literals in $_ with "<QLL>"
|
|
|
|
do { $_ = join '<QLL>', (extract_quotelike)[2,1] } until $@;
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Isolate the search pattern in a quotelike operation from $text
|
|
|
|
($op,$pat) = (extract_quotelike $text)[3,5];
|
|
if ($op =~ /[ms]/)
|
|
{
|
|
print "search pattern: $pat\n";
|
|
}
|
|
else
|
|
{
|
|
print "$op is not a pattern matching operation\n";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_quotelike> and "here documents"
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> can successfully extract "here documents" from an input
|
|
string, but with an important caveat in list contexts.
|
|
|
|
Unlike other types of quote-like literals, a here document is rarely
|
|
a contiguous substring. For example, a typical piece of code using
|
|
here document might look like this:
|
|
|
|
<<'EOMSG' || die;
|
|
This is the message.
|
|
EOMSG
|
|
exit;
|
|
|
|
Given this as an input string in a scalar context, C<extract_quotelike>
|
|
would correctly return the string "<<'EOMSG'\nThis is the message.\nEOMSG",
|
|
leaving the string " || die;\nexit;" in the original variable. In other words,
|
|
the two separate pieces of the here document are successfully extracted and
|
|
concatenated.
|
|
|
|
In a list context, C<extract_quotelike> would return the list
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item [0]
|
|
|
|
"<<'EOMSG'\nThis is the message.\nEOMSG\n" (i.e. the full extracted here document,
|
|
including fore and aft delimiters),
|
|
|
|
=item [1]
|
|
|
|
" || die;\nexit;" (i.e. the remainder of the input text, concatenated),
|
|
|
|
=item [2]
|
|
|
|
"" (i.e. the prefix substring -- trivial in this case),
|
|
|
|
=item [3]
|
|
|
|
"<<" (i.e. the "name" of the quotelike operator)
|
|
|
|
=item [4]
|
|
|
|
"'EOMSG'" (i.e. the left delimiter of the here document, including any quotes),
|
|
|
|
=item [5]
|
|
|
|
"This is the message.\n" (i.e. the text of the here document),
|
|
|
|
=item [6]
|
|
|
|
"EOMSG" (i.e. the right delimiter of the here document),
|
|
|
|
=item [7..10]
|
|
|
|
"" (a here document has no second left delimiter, second text, second right
|
|
delimiter, or trailing modifiers).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
However, the matching position of the input variable would be set to
|
|
"exit;" (i.e. I<after> the closing delimiter of the here document),
|
|
which would cause the earlier " || die;\nexit;" to be skipped in any
|
|
sequence of code fragment extractions.
|
|
|
|
To avoid this problem, when it encounters a here document while
|
|
extracting from a modifiable string, C<extract_quotelike> silently
|
|
rearranges the string to an equivalent piece of Perl:
|
|
|
|
<<'EOMSG'
|
|
This is the message.
|
|
EOMSG
|
|
|| die;
|
|
exit;
|
|
|
|
in which the here document I<is> contiguous. It still leaves the
|
|
matching position after the here document, but now the rest of the line
|
|
on which the here document starts is not skipped.
|
|
|
|
To prevent <extract_quotelike> from mucking about with the input in this way
|
|
(this is the only case where a list-context C<extract_quotelike> does so),
|
|
you can pass the input variable as an interpolated literal:
|
|
|
|
$quotelike = extract_quotelike("$var");
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_codeblock>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> attempts to recognize and extract a balanced
|
|
bracket delimited substring that may contain unbalanced brackets
|
|
inside Perl quotes or quotelike operations. That is, C<extract_codeblock>
|
|
is like a combination of C<"extract_bracketed"> and
|
|
C<"extract_quotelike">.
|
|
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> takes the same initial three parameters as C<extract_bracketed>:
|
|
a text to process, a set of delimiter brackets to look for, and a prefix to
|
|
match first. It also takes an optional fourth parameter, which allows the
|
|
outermost delimiter brackets to be specified separately (see below).
|
|
|
|
Omitting the first argument (input text) means process C<$_> instead.
|
|
Omitting the second argument (delimiter brackets) indicates that only C<'{'> is to be used.
|
|
Omitting the third argument (prefix argument) implies optional whitespace at the start.
|
|
Omitting the fourth argument (outermost delimiter brackets) indicates that the
|
|
value of the second argument is to be used for the outermost delimiters.
|
|
|
|
Once the prefix an the outermost opening delimiter bracket have been
|
|
recognized, code blocks are extracted by stepping through the input text and
|
|
trying the following alternatives in sequence:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
Try and match a closing delimiter bracket. If the bracket was the same
|
|
species as the last opening bracket, return the substring to that
|
|
point. If the bracket was mismatched, return an error.
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
Try to match a quote or quotelike operator. If found, call
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> to eat it. If C<extract_quotelike> fails, return
|
|
the error it returned. Otherwise go back to step 1.
|
|
|
|
=item 3.
|
|
|
|
Try to match an opening delimiter bracket. If found, call
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> recursively to eat the embedded block. If the
|
|
recursive call fails, return an error. Otherwise, go back to step 1.
|
|
|
|
=item 4.
|
|
|
|
Unconditionally match a bareword or any other single character, and
|
|
then go back to step 1.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
# Find a while loop in the text
|
|
|
|
if ($text =~ s/.*?while\s*\{/{/)
|
|
{
|
|
$loop = "while " . extract_codeblock($text);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Remove the first round-bracketed list (which may include
|
|
# round- or curly-bracketed code blocks or quotelike operators)
|
|
|
|
extract_codeblock $text, "(){}", '[^(]*';
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ability to specify a different outermost delimiter bracket is useful
|
|
in some circumstances. For example, in the Parse::RecDescent module,
|
|
parser actions which are to be performed only on a successful parse
|
|
are specified using a C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive. For example:
|
|
|
|
sentence: subject verb object
|
|
<defer: {$::theVerb = $item{verb}} >
|
|
|
|
Parse::RecDescent uses C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}E<lt>E<gt>')> to extract the code
|
|
within the C<E<lt>defer:...E<gt>> directive, but there's a problem.
|
|
|
|
A deferred action like this:
|
|
|
|
<defer: {if ($count>10) {$count--}} >
|
|
|
|
will be incorrectly parsed as:
|
|
|
|
<defer: {if ($count>
|
|
|
|
because the "less than" operator is interpreted as a closing delimiter.
|
|
|
|
But, by extracting the directive using
|
|
S<C<extract_codeblock($text, '{}', undef, 'E<lt>E<gt>')>>
|
|
the '>' character is only treated as a delimited at the outermost
|
|
level of the code block, so the directive is parsed correctly.
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<extract_multiple>
|
|
|
|
The C<extract_multiple> subroutine takes a string to be processed and a
|
|
list of extractors (subroutines or regular expressions) to apply to that string.
|
|
|
|
In an array context C<extract_multiple> returns an array of substrings
|
|
of the original string, as extracted by the specified extractors.
|
|
In a scalar context, C<extract_multiple> returns the first
|
|
substring successfully extracted from the original string. In both
|
|
scalar and void contexts the original string has the first successfully
|
|
extracted substring removed from it. In all contexts
|
|
C<extract_multiple> starts at the current C<pos> of the string, and
|
|
sets that C<pos> appropriately after it matches.
|
|
|
|
Hence, the aim of a call to C<extract_multiple> in a list context
|
|
is to split the processed string into as many non-overlapping fields as
|
|
possible, by repeatedly applying each of the specified extractors
|
|
to the remainder of the string. Thus C<extract_multiple> is
|
|
a generalized form of Perl's C<split> subroutine.
|
|
|
|
The subroutine takes up to four optional arguments:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item 1.
|
|
|
|
A string to be processed (C<$_> if the string is omitted or C<undef>)
|
|
|
|
=item 2.
|
|
|
|
A reference to a list of subroutine references and/or qr// objects and/or
|
|
literal strings and/or hash references, specifying the extractors
|
|
to be used to split the string. If this argument is omitted (or
|
|
C<undef>) the list:
|
|
|
|
[
|
|
sub { extract_variable($_[0], '') },
|
|
sub { extract_quotelike($_[0],'') },
|
|
sub { extract_codeblock($_[0],'{}','') },
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=item 3.
|
|
|
|
A number specifying the maximum number of fields to return. If this
|
|
argument is omitted (or C<undef>), split continues as long as possible.
|
|
|
|
If the third argument is I<N>, then extraction continues until I<N> fields
|
|
have been successfully extracted, or until the string has been completely
|
|
processed.
|
|
|
|
Note that in scalar and void contexts the value of this argument is
|
|
automatically reset to 1 (under C<-w>, a warning is issued if the argument
|
|
has to be reset).
|
|
|
|
=item 4.
|
|
|
|
A value indicating whether unmatched substrings (see below) within the
|
|
text should be skipped or returned as fields. If the value is true,
|
|
such substrings are skipped. Otherwise, they are returned.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
The extraction process works by applying each extractor in
|
|
sequence to the text string.
|
|
|
|
If the extractor is a subroutine it is called in a list context and is
|
|
expected to return a list of a single element, namely the extracted
|
|
text. It may optionally also return two further arguments: a string
|
|
representing the text left after extraction (like $' for a pattern
|
|
match), and a string representing any prefix skipped before the
|
|
extraction (like $` in a pattern match). Note that this is designed
|
|
to facilitate the use of other Text::Balanced subroutines with
|
|
C<extract_multiple>. Note too that the value returned by an extractor
|
|
subroutine need not bear any relationship to the corresponding substring
|
|
of the original text (see examples below).
|
|
|
|
If the extractor is a precompiled regular expression or a string,
|
|
it is matched against the text in a scalar context with a leading
|
|
'\G' and the gc modifiers enabled. The extracted value is either
|
|
$1 if that variable is defined after the match, or else the
|
|
complete match (i.e. $&).
|
|
|
|
If the extractor is a hash reference, it must contain exactly one element.
|
|
The value of that element is one of the
|
|
above extractor types (subroutine reference, regular expression, or string).
|
|
The key of that element is the name of a class into which the successful
|
|
return value of the extractor will be blessed.
|
|
|
|
If an extractor returns a defined value, that value is immediately
|
|
treated as the next extracted field and pushed onto the list of fields.
|
|
If the extractor was specified in a hash reference, the field is also
|
|
blessed into the appropriate class,
|
|
|
|
If the extractor fails to match (in the case of a regex extractor), or returns an empty list or an undefined value (in the case of a subroutine extractor), it is
|
|
assumed to have failed to extract.
|
|
If none of the extractor subroutines succeeds, then one
|
|
character is extracted from the start of the text and the extraction
|
|
subroutines reapplied. Characters which are thus removed are accumulated and
|
|
eventually become the next field (unless the fourth argument is true, in which
|
|
case they are discarded).
|
|
|
|
For example, the following extracts substrings that are valid Perl variables:
|
|
|
|
@fields = extract_multiple($text,
|
|
[ sub { extract_variable($_[0]) } ],
|
|
undef, 1);
|
|
|
|
This example separates a text into fields which are quote delimited,
|
|
curly bracketed, and anything else. The delimited and bracketed
|
|
parts are also blessed to identify them (the "anything else" is unblessed):
|
|
|
|
@fields = extract_multiple($text,
|
|
[
|
|
{ Delim => sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) } },
|
|
{ Brack => sub { extract_bracketed($_[0],'{}') } },
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
This call extracts the next single substring that is a valid Perl quotelike
|
|
operator (and removes it from $text):
|
|
|
|
$quotelike = extract_multiple($text,
|
|
[
|
|
sub { extract_quotelike($_[0]) },
|
|
], undef, 1);
|
|
|
|
Finally, here is yet another way to do comma-separated value parsing:
|
|
|
|
@fields = extract_multiple($csv_text,
|
|
[
|
|
sub { extract_delimited($_[0],q{'"}) },
|
|
qr/([^,]+)(.*)/,
|
|
],
|
|
undef,1);
|
|
|
|
The list in the second argument means:
|
|
I<"Try and extract a ' or " delimited string, otherwise extract anything up to a comma...">.
|
|
The undef third argument means:
|
|
I<"...as many times as possible...">,
|
|
and the true value in the fourth argument means
|
|
I<"...discarding anything else that appears (i.e. the commas)">.
|
|
|
|
If you wanted the commas preserved as separate fields (i.e. like split
|
|
does if your split pattern has capturing parentheses), you would
|
|
just make the last parameter undefined (or remove it).
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head2 C<gen_delimited_pat>
|
|
|
|
The C<gen_delimited_pat> subroutine takes a single (string) argument and
|
|
> builds a Friedl-style optimized regex that matches a string delimited
|
|
by any one of the characters in the single argument. For example:
|
|
|
|
gen_delimited_pat(q{'"})
|
|
|
|
returns the regex:
|
|
|
|
(?:\"(?:\\\"|(?!\").)*\"|\'(?:\\\'|(?!\').)*\')
|
|
|
|
Note that the specified delimiters are automatically quotemeta'd.
|
|
|
|
A typical use of C<gen_delimited_pat> would be to build special purpose tags
|
|
for C<extract_tagged>. For example, to properly ignore "empty" XML elements
|
|
(which might contain quoted strings):
|
|
|
|
my $empty_tag = '<(' . gen_delimited_pat(q{'"}) . '|.)+/>';
|
|
|
|
extract_tagged($text, undef, undef, undef, {ignore => [$empty_tag]} );
|
|
|
|
|
|
C<gen_delimited_pat> may also be called with an optional second argument,
|
|
which specifies the "escape" character(s) to be used for each delimiter.
|
|
For example to match a Pascal-style string (where ' is the delimiter
|
|
and '' is a literal ' within the string):
|
|
|
|
gen_delimited_pat(q{'},q{'});
|
|
|
|
Different escape characters can be specified for different delimiters.
|
|
For example, to specify that '/' is the escape for single quotes
|
|
and '%' is the escape for double quotes:
|
|
|
|
gen_delimited_pat(q{'"},q{/%});
|
|
|
|
If more delimiters than escape chars are specified, the last escape char
|
|
is used for the remaining delimiters.
|
|
If no escape char is specified for a given specified delimiter, '\' is used.
|
|
|
|
Note that
|
|
C<gen_delimited_pat> was previously called
|
|
C<delimited_pat>. That name may still be used, but is now deprecated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
=head1 DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
|
|
In a list context, all the functions return C<(undef,$original_text)>
|
|
on failure. In a scalar context, failure is indicated by returning C<undef>
|
|
(in this case the input text is not modified in any way).
|
|
|
|
In addition, on failure in I<any> context, the C<$@> variable is set.
|
|
Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{error}> returns one of the error diagnostics listed
|
|
below.
|
|
Accessing C<$@-E<gt>{pos}> returns the offset into the original string at
|
|
which the error was detected (although not necessarily where it occurred!)
|
|
Printing C<$@> directly produces the error message, with the offset appended.
|
|
On success, the C<$@> variable is guaranteed to be C<undef>.
|
|
|
|
The available diagnostics are:

=item C<Did not find a suitable bracket: "%s">
|
|
|
|
The delimiter provided to C<extract_bracketed> was not one of
|
|
C<'()[]E<lt>E<gt>{}'>.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find prefix: /%s/>
|
|
|
|
A non-optional prefix was specified but wasn't found at the start of the text.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find opening bracket after prefix: "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed> or C<extract_codeblock> was expecting a
|
|
particular kind of bracket at the start of the text, and didn't find it.
|
|
|
|
=item C<No quotelike operator found after prefix: "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> didn't find one of the quotelike operators C<q>,
|
|
C<qq>, C<qw>, C<qx>, C<s>, C<tr> or C<y> at the start of the substring
|
|
it was extracting.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Unmatched closing bracket: "%c">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> encountered
|
|
a closing bracket where none was expected.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Unmatched opening bracket(s): "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> ran
|
|
out of characters in the text before closing one or more levels of nested
|
|
brackets.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Unmatched embedded quote (%s)>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed> attempted to match an embedded quoted substring, but
|
|
failed to find a closing quote to match it.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find closing delimiter to match '%s'>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> was unable to find a closing delimiter to match the
|
|
one that opened the quote-like operation.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Mismatched closing bracket: expected "%c" but found "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_bracketed>, C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> found
|
|
a valid bracket delimiter, but it was the wrong species. This usually
|
|
indicates a nesting error, but may indicate incorrect quoting or escaping.
|
|
|
|
=item C<No block delimiter found after quotelike "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_quotelike> or C<extract_codeblock> found one of the
|
|
quotelike operators C<q>, C<qq>, C<qw>, C<qx>, C<s>, C<tr> or C<y>
|
|
without a suitable block after it.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find leading dereferencer>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_variable> was expecting one of '$', '@', or '%' at the start of
|
|
a variable, but didn't find any of them.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Bad identifier after dereferencer>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_variable> found a '$', '@', or '%' indicating a variable, but that
|
|
character was not followed by a legal Perl identifier.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find expected opening bracket at %s>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> failed to find any of the outermost opening brackets
|
|
that were specified.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Improperly nested codeblock at %s>
|
|
|
|
A nested code block was found that started with a delimiter that was specified
|
|
as being only to be used as an outermost bracket.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Missing second block for quotelike "%s">
|
|
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> or C<extract_quotelike> found one of the
|
|
quotelike operators C<s>, C<tr> or C<y> followed by only one block.
|
|
|
|
=item C<No match found for opening bracket>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_codeblock> failed to find a closing bracket to match the outermost
|
|
opening bracket.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find opening tag: /%s/>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> did not find a suitable opening tag (after any specified
|
|
prefix was removed).
|
|
|
|
=item C<Unable to construct closing tag to match: /%s/>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> matched the specified opening tag and tried to
|
|
modify the matched text to produce a matching closing tag (because
|
|
none was specified). It failed to generate the closing tag, almost
|
|
certainly because the opening tag did not start with a
|
|
bracket of some kind.
|
|
|
|
=item C<Found invalid nested tag: %s>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> found a nested tag that appeared in the "reject" list
|
|
(and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA").
|
|
|
|
=item C<Found unbalanced nested tag: %s>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> found a nested opening tag that was not matched by a
|
|
corresponding nested closing tag (and the failure mode was not "MAX" or "PARA").
|
|
|
|
=item C<Did not find closing tag>
|
|
|
|
C<extract_tagged> reached the end of the text without finding a closing tag
|
|
to match the original opening tag (and the failure mode was not
|
|
"MAX" or "PARA").

=head1 BUGS AND IRRITATIONS
|
|
|
|
There are undoubtedly serious bugs lurking somewhere in this code, if
|
|
only because parts of it give the impression of understanding a great deal
|
|
more about Perl than they really do.
|
|
|
|
Bug reports and other feedback are most welcome.
