This module should be a 'swiss army knife' for the daily tasks.
The main goals are command line processing, automatic usage
messages, signal catching (with logging), simple logging,
simple data formatting, simple directory and file processing.DESCRIPTION
- Dir('/path/to/dir')
-
This function lists the file names in the directory into an array (without '.' and '..'). Return a reference to this array or undef if directory is not readable.
- Dir('/path/to/dir', 'regexp')
-
This function lists the file names in the directory into an array (without '.' and '..'). Skip any file names not matching regexp. Return a reference to this array or undef if the directory is not readable.
- Dir('/path/to/dir', '!regexp')
-
This function lists the file names in the directory into an array (without '.' and '..'). Skip any file names matching regexp. Return a reference to this array or undef if the directory is not readable.
- Exit(1,'The reason for the exit.')
-
Exit the script with return value 1. Write the message to the log-channel via Log().
- $arrRef = File('/path/to/file')
-
This function read the file content into an array. Return a reference to this array or undef if the file is not readable.
- $arrRef = File('/path/to/file', \&callback)
-
Read the file into an array. Afterwards call the callback function with a reference to that array. The return value of File() will be the return value of the callback function. In case the callback function do not return anything, a reference to the input array of the callback function will be returned. The callback function may return one scalar value.
Example: ... sub decrypt($) {...} $f = File('path/to/encrypted', \&decrypt);
- File( '> path/to/file', 'overwrite the old content' )
-
Write the string to the file. Overwrite the old content of the file.
- File( 'path/to/file', 'append this to the file' )
-
Append the string to the file.
- File( 'path/to/file', $arrRef )
-
Append each array element to the end of the file as is (no automatic newline).
- File( 'path/to/file', $arrRef, $recSep )
-
Concatenate each array element with the record separator and append it to the file.
- File( 'path/to/file', $hashRef, $recSep, $fieldSep )
-
Append records like KEY$fieldSepVALUE$recSep to the file. Default record separator is the empty string. Default field separator is ':';
- $arrRef = FileC('/path/to/file')
-
Same as File('/path/to/file') but with chomped the results.
- $arrRef = FileC('/path/to/file', \&callback)
-
Same as File('/path/to/file', \&callback) but with chomped the results.
- KeyMap('path/to/file')
-
Read a CSV file with the structure
key1.1,key1.2,...,value1 key2.1,key2.2,...,value2into a hash of the same structure. The default field separator is ','.
- KeyMap('path/to/file', $fieldSep)
-
Use $fieldSep as field separator.
- KeyMap('path/to/file', \&callback)
-
Same funtionality as in File().
- KeyMap('path/to/file', $fieldSep, \&callback)
-
Same funtionality as in File(). Use $fieldSep as field separator.
- KeyMap('path/to/file', $fieldSep, $hashRef)
-
Write a hash with the structure
key1.1 => key1.2 => ... => value1 key2.1 => key2.2 => ... => value2into a file of the same structure. Use $fieldSep as field separator.
- Log('The message', [channel])
-
Add a timestamp and write the log message to the channel. The channel may be 'STDERR' (default), 'STDOUT', /path/to/logfile or an IO::File object. Without a channel and using the command line option -logdir /path/to/log the log file will be created under /path/to/log/<scriptName.log>. ScriptName is the basename of the perl script using Script::Toolbox.pm;
- Now({'format'=><'strftime-format'>, offset'=><+-seconds>})
-
Return the actual date and time. If $format is undef the result is a hash ref. The keys are: sec min hour mday mon year wday yday isdst epoch. Month and year are corrected. Epoch is the time in seconds since 1.1.1970. If $format is not undef it must be a strftime() format string. The result of Now() is then the strftime() formated date string. If defined, offset will be added to the epoch seconds before any format convertion takes place.
- Now({'diff'=><time>}) $diff may be a value in epoch seconds or any string parseable by Time::ParseDate. If Now() is called with a diff argument it returns a hash ref with following keys seconds minutes hours days DHMS. Each corresponding value is the difference between now and the given time value.
-
Example: my $d = Now( time()- 1800 ); print $d->{'seconds'} .'s'; # 1800.0s print $d->{'minutes'} .'min'; # 30.0min print $d->{'hours'} .'h'; # 0.5h print $d->{'days'} .'d'; # 0.02083d print $d->{'DHMS'}; # 0d 00:30:00 - Stat('/path/to/dir', '!regexp')
-
Read the directory like Dir() and make a stat() call for each matching file. Skip '.' '..' and any entry matching regexp. Return a reference to a hash or undef if directory not readable.
- Stat('/path/to/dir', 'regexp')
-
Read the directory like Dir() and make a stat() call for each matching file. Skip '.' '..' and any entry not matching regexp. Return a reference to a hash or undef if directory not readable.
Example: $d = Stat('/bin','echo'); print $d->{'echo'}{'atime'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'blksize'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'blocks'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'ctime'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'dev'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'gid'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'ino'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'mode'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'mtime'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'nlink'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'rdev'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'size'}; print $d->{'echo'}{'uid'}; - System( 'command to execute' )
-
Execute a program in a new shell. The STDOUT / STDERR of the executed program will be logged into the logfile. System() returns 0 if the exit code of the program is not 0 otherwise 1;
- Table($dataRef)
-
Table can be used for formatting simple data structures into equal spaced tables. Table knows the folloing input data structures:
Array of CSV lines. Default separator is ';'
Array of arrays. If the first array element is a SCALAR value, we assume it is the title and the second array element has the column headers. Otherwise default title and headers will be generated.
A hash with the keys 'title', 'head' and 'data'. 'title' points to a SCALAR value, 'head' points to a array of scalars. 'data' points to an array of arrays or an array of hashes.
In case of array of hashes, the column heads will be initialized from the keys of the hash in the first array element. The order of the columns is the order of the sorted keys of the hash in the first array element.
- TableO($dataRef)
-
It's an object oriented version of Table (vers. >= 0.50). A Table-Object has two methods.
- Menue
-
There are two types of menues. Regular menues and data menues. All menues use the madatory key 'label'. A data menue has the mandatory key 'value'.
Optional keys for both types are 'header' and 'footer'. All Entries with these keys will be printed on top resp. below the option lines.
Regular menues may use the optional keys 'jump' and 'argv'. Jump points to a handler subroutine. Argv points to the arguments of the handler subroutine.
- Menues
-
This is an object oriented container for regular menues. Each menue generated by Menues->new() gets a automatic RETURN option with option number zero and must have a unique menue-name.
Menue-Methods:
-
If Autoheader is enabled, an automatic header line will be generated for all menues or only the one selected by <menueName>.
'Menue: <menueName>' -
Disable AutoHeader for all menues or only the one selected by <menueName>.
-
- DataMenue
-
This is a convenient version to edit values via Menue function. It includes an endless loop and an automatic generated EXIT label and exit handling. The edited values will be returned. Acceptable input are the same array with 'label', 'value' hash or a simple white space separated scalar value. In case of simple scalar input an optional hash with 'header' and/or 'footer' keys may be given as second parameter. An option entry like: {'label'=>'Read Only Example', 'value'=>10, 'readOnly'=>1} causes the value will be displayed only.
SIGNALS
The signals SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGQUIT and SIGTERM will be catched by Script::Toolbox and logged as 'program aborted by signal SIG$sig.'
EXPORT
None by default. Can export Dir, Exit, File, KeyMap, Log, Now, Open, Table, Usage, System, Stat or :all.
