=head1 NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
IO::ScalarArray - IO:: interface for reading/writing an array of scalars
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
Perform I/O on strings, using the basic OO interface...
|
||
|
|
||
|
use IO::ScalarArray;
|
||
|
@data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
$AH->print("Hello");
|
||
|
$AH->print(", world!\nBye now!\n");
|
||
|
print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on an array, read it line-by-line, then close it:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
while (defined($_ = $AH->getline)) {
|
||
|
print "Got line: $_";
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
$AH->close;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on an array, and slurp in all the lines:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
print "All lines:\n", $AH->getlines;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Get the current position (either of two ways):
|
||
|
$pos = $AH->getpos;
|
||
|
$offset = $AH->tell;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Set the current position (either of two ways):
|
||
|
$AH->setpos($pos);
|
||
|
$AH->seek($offset, 0);
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open an anonymous temporary array:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
|
||
|
$AH->print("Hi there!");
|
||
|
print "I printed: ", @{$AH->aref}, "\n"; ### get at value
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't like OO for your I/O? No problem.
|
||
|
Thanks to the magic of an invisible tie(), the following now
|
||
|
works out of the box, just as it does with IO::Handle:
|
||
|
|
||
|
use IO::ScalarArray;
|
||
|
@data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
print $AH "Hello";
|
||
|
print $AH ", world!\nBye now!\n";
|
||
|
print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on a string, read it line-by-line, then close it:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
while (<$AH>) {
|
||
|
print "Got line: $_";
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
close $AH;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open a handle on a string, and slurp in all the lines:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
|
||
|
print "All lines:\n", <$AH>;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Get the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
|
||
|
$offset = tell $AH;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Set the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
|
||
|
seek $AH, $offset, 0;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Open an anonymous temporary scalar:
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
|
||
|
print $AH "Hi there!";
|
||
|
print "I printed: ", @{$AH->aref}, "\n"; ### get at value
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
And for you folks with 1.x code out there: the old tie() style still works,
|
||
|
though this is I<unnecessary and deprecated>:
|
||
|
|
||
|
use IO::ScalarArray;
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Writing to a scalar...
|
||
|
my @a;
|
||
|
tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray', \@a;
|
||
|
print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
|
||
|
print "Array is now: ", @a, "\n"
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Reading and writing an anonymous scalar...
|
||
|
tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray';
|
||
|
print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
|
||
|
tied(OUT)->seek(0,0);
|
||
|
while (<OUT>) {
|
||
|
print "Got line: ", $_;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|

|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
This class is part of the IO::Stringy distribution;
|
||
|
see L<IO::Stringy> for change log and general information.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The IO::ScalarArray class implements objects which behave just like
|
||
|
IO::Handle (or FileHandle) objects, except that you may use them
|
||
|
to write to (or read from) arrays of scalars. Logically, an
|
||
|
array of scalars defines an in-core "file" whose contents are
|
||
|
the concatenation of the scalars in the array. The handles created by
|
||
|
this class are automatically tiehandle'd (though please see L<"WARNINGS">
|
||
|
for information relevant to your Perl version).
|
||
|
|
||
|
For writing large amounts of data with individual print() statements,
|
||
|
this class is likely to be more efficient than IO::Scalar.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Basically, this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
my @a;
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
|
||
|
$AH->print("Hel", "lo, "); ### OO style
|
||
|
$AH->print("world!\n"); ### ditto
|
||
|
|
||
|
Or this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
my @a;
|
||
|
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
|
||
|
print $AH "Hel", "lo, "; ### non-OO style
|
||
|
print $AH "world!\n"; ### ditto
|
||
|
|
||
|
Causes @a to be set to the following array of 3 strings:
|
||
|
|
||
|
( "Hel" ,
|
||
|
"lo, " ,
|
||
|
"world!\n" )
|
||
|
|
||
|
See L<IO::Scalar> and compare with this class.

|

|

I<Class method.>
|

Return a new, unattached array handle.
|
||
|
If any arguments are given, they're sent to open().

=item open [ARRAYREF]
|
||
|
|

|
I<Instance method.>
|
||
|
Open the array handle on a new array, pointed to by ARRAYREF.
|
||
|
If no ARRAYREF is given, a "private" array is created to hold
|
||
|
the file data.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns the self object on success, undefined on error.

### Sanity:

|
||
|
(ref($aref) eq "ARRAY") or croak "open needs a ref to a array";

### Setup:

$self->setpos([0,0]);
|

*$self->{AR} = $aref;

$self;

#------------------------------
|

|
|

|
=item close
|
||
|
|

I<Instance method.>
|
||
|
Disassociate the array handle from its underlying array.
|
||
|
Done automatically on destroy.

Currently, lines are delimited by "\n".

### Minimal impact implementation!
|
||
|
### We do the fast thing (no regexps) if using the
|
||
|
### classic input record separator.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Case 1: $/ is undef: slurp all...
|
||
|
if (!defined($/)) {
|
||
|
|
||
|
return undef if ($self->eof);
|
||
|
|

|
### Get the rest of the current string, followed by remaining strings:
|

|
my $ar = *$self->{AR};
|
||
|
my @slurp = (
|
||
|
substr($ar->[*$self->{Str}], *$self->{Pos}),
|
||
|
@$ar[(1 + *$self->{Str}) .. $#$ar ]
|
||
|
);
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Seek to end:
|
||
|
$self->_setpos_to_eof;
|
||
|
return join('', @slurp);
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Case 2: $/ is "\n":
|
||
|
elsif ($/ eq "\012") {
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Until we hit EOF (or exited because of a found line):
|
||
|
until ($self->eof) {
|
||
|
### If at end of current string, go fwd to next one (won't be EOF):
|
||
|
if ($self->_eos) {++*$self->{Str}, *$self->{Pos}=0};
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Get ref to current string in array, and set internal pos mark:
|
||
|
$str = \(*$self->{AR}[*$self->{Str}]); ### get current string
|
||
|
pos($$str) = *$self->{Pos}; ### start matching from here
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Get from here to either \n or end of string, and add to line:
|
||
|
$$str =~ m/\G(.*?)((\n)|\Z)/g; ### match to 1st \n or EOS
|
||
|
$line .= $1.$2; ### add it
|
||
|
*$self->{Pos} += length($1.$2); ### move fwd by len matched
|
||
|
return $line if $3; ### done, got line with "\n"
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
return ($line eq '') ? undef : $line; ### return undef if EOF
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Case 3: $/ is ref to int. Bail out.
|
||
|
elsif (ref($/)) {
|
||
|
croak '$/ given as a ref to int; currently unsupported';
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Case 4: $/ is either "" (paragraphs) or something weird...
|
||
|
### Bail for now.
|
||
|
else {
|
||
|
croak '$/ as given is currently unsupported';
|
||
|
}
|

|
}
|

#------------------------------
|

|
|
||
|
=item getlines
|
||
|
|
||

I<Instance method.>

Get all remaining lines.
|

It will croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context.

|

I<Instance method.>
|

Print ARGS to the underlying array.
|

|
|
||
|
Currently, this always causes a "seek to the end of the array"
|
||
|
and generates a new array entry. This may change in the future.

Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error.

### If at end of current string, go forward to next one (won't be EOF):

|

=head1 WARNINGS
|
||
|
|
||
|
Perl's TIEHANDLE spec was incomplete prior to 5.005_57;
|
||
|
it was missing support for C<seek()>, C<tell()>, and C<eof()>.
|
||
|
Attempting to use these functions with an IO::ScalarArray will not work
|
||
|
prior to 5.005_57. IO::ScalarArray will not have the relevant methods
|
||
|
invoked; and even worse, this kind of bug can lie dormant for a while.
|
||
|
If you turn warnings on (via C<$^W> or C<perl -w>),
|
||
|
and you see something like this...
|
||
|
|
||
|
attempt to seek on unopened filehandle
|
||
|
|
||
|
...then you are probably trying to use one of these functions
|
||
|
on an IO::ScalarArray with an old Perl. The remedy is to simply
|
||
|
use the OO version; e.g.:
|
||
|
|
||
|
$AH->seek(0,0); ### GOOD: will work on any 5.005
|
||
|
seek($AH,0,0); ### WARNING: will only work on 5.005_57 and beyond
