NAME

Iterator::Records::Lines - Provides simple record iterators for reading text line by line

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

This module specializes Iterator::Records to provide record iterators returning one line at a time from either a file or a string containing text. The iterator can optionally keep track of text indentation. All line record iterators return the columns (type, lno, indent, len, text); the type is either "line" or "blank". if indentation is not being tracked ("raw input") then the type is always "line", the indent is always 0, and trailing space will not be stripped from the text. (The primary use I have for the line reader is as a pre-tokenizer for parsing input.)

new (input_type, input_source, raw)

Creates an iterator factory. The input_type is either 'file' or 'string', and the source is then either the filename or the string. The string can be a reference to a string. By default, the input line is cleaned up and its non-blank
