NAME
Text::Query::Solve - Base class for query resolution
SYNOPSIS
package Text::Query::SolveSource;
use Text::Query::Parse;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(Text::Query::Solve);
DESCRIPTION
This module provides a virtual base class for query resolution.
It defines the match
and matchscalar
method that is called by the Text::Query
object to apply a query on a data source.
METHODS
- match (EXPR [TARGET])
-
If
TARGET
is a scalar,match
returns a true value if the data source specified byTARGET
matches theEXPR
query expression. IfTARGET
is not given, the match is made against$_
.If
TARGET
is an array,match
returns a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements. If the elements of the array are references to sub- arrays, the match is done against the first element of each sub-array. This allows arbitrary information (e.g. filenames) to be associated with each data source to match.If
TARGET
is a reference to an array,match
returns a reference to a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements. - matchscalar (EXPR [TARGET])
-
Behaves just like
MATCH
whenTARGET
is a scalar or is not given.
