NAME

Template::Reverse - A template generator getting different parts between pair of text

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

use Template::Reverse;
my $rev = Template::Reverse->new({
        spacers=>['Template::Reverse::Spacer::Number'],         # put spaces around Numbers. [OPTIONAL]
        splitter=>'Template::Reverse::Splitter::Whitespace',    # and splitting text by white spaces. [DEFAULT]
});

my $parts = $rev->detect($output1, $output2); # returns [ [[PRE],[POST]], ... ]

use Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2;
my @templates = Template::Reverse::TT2Converter::Convert($parts); # named 'value1','value2',...

more

# try this!!
use Template::Reverse;
use Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2;
use Data::Dumper;

my $rev = Template::Reverse->new;

# generating patterns automatically!!
my $str1 = "I am perl and smart";
my $str2 = "I am khs and a perlmania";
my $parts = $rev->detect($str1, $str2);

my $tt2 = Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2->new;
my $temps = $tt2->Convert($parts); # equals ['I am [% value %] and','and [% value %]']


# spacing text for normalization.
my $str3 = "I am king of the world and a richest man";
my $str3spaced = $rev->space($str3);

# extract!!
use Template::Extract;
my $ext = Template::Extract->new;
my $value = $ext->extract($temps->[0], $str3spaced);
print Dumper($value); # output : {'value'=>'king of the world'}

my $value = $ext->extract($temps->[1], $str3spaced);
print Dumper($value); # output : {'value'=>'a richest man'}

DESCRIPTION

Template::Reverse detects different parts between pair of similar text as merged texts from same template. And it can makes an output marked differences, encodes to TT2 format for being use by Template::Extract module.

FUNCTIONS

new(OPTION_HASH_REF)

splitter=>$splitter_pkgname

A splitter splits text into Array by its own rule. You can set only one splitter at a time.

Template::Reverse::Splitter::Whitespace is a default splitter and splits text by whitespaces.

spacers=>[$spacer_pkgname, ...]

A spacer inserts spaces by its own rule. You can set several spacers in order. A spacer works sequencially before a splitter working.

Not only inserting, removing uninterest things, changing some charaters and etc.

Spacers is reused in $self->space($str) for more exact results.

sidelen=>$max_length_of_each_side

sidelen is a short of "side character's each max length". the default value is 10. Setting 0 means full-length.

If you set it as 3, you get max 3 length pre-text and post-text array each part.

This is needed for more faster performance.

detect($text1, $text2)

Get changable part list from two texts. It returns like below

$rev->detect('A b C','A d C');
#
# [ [ ['A'],['C'] ] ]
#   : :...: :...: :     
#   :  pre  post  :
#   :.............:  
#       part 1
#

$rev->detect('A b C d E','A f C g E');
#
# [ [ ['A'], ['C'] ], [ ['C'], ['E'] ] ]
#   : :...:  :...: :  : :...:  :...: :
#   :  pre   post  :  :  pre   post  :
#   :..............:  :..............:
#        part 1            part 2
#

$rev->detect('A1 A2 B C1 C2 D E1 E2','A1 A2 D C1 C2 F E1 E2');
#
# [ [ ['A1','A2'],['C2','C2'] ], [ ['C1','C2'], ['E2','E2'] ] ]
#

my $str1 = "I am perl and smart";
my $str2 = "I am KHS and a perlmania";
my $parts = $rev->detect($str1, $str2);
#
# [ [ ['I','am'], ['and'] ] , [ ['and'],[] ] ]
#   : :........:  :.....: :   :            :
#   :    pre       post   :   :            :
#   :.....................:   :............:
#           part 1                part 2
#

Returned arrayRef is list of changable parts.

1. At first, $text1 and $text2 is normalized by Spacers.
2. 'pre texts' and 'post texts' are splited by Splitter. In this case, by Whitespace.
3. You can get a changing value, just finding 'pre' and 'post' in a normalized text.

space($text)

It returns a processed text by same rule as in detect(). Text are processed by Spacers sequencially.
