data::munge
Data::Munge(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Data::Munge(3pm)NAME
Data::Munge - various utility functions
SYNOPSIS
use Data::Munge;
my $re = list2re qw/foo bar baz/;
print byval { s/foo/bar/ } $text;
foo(mapval { chomp } @lines);
print replace('Apples are round, and apples are juicy.', qr/apples/i, 'oranges', 'g');
print replace('John Smith', qr/(w+)s+(w+)/, '$2, $1');
DESCRIPTION
This module defines a few generally useful utility functions. I got tired of redefining or working around them, so I wrote this module.
Functions
list2re LIST
Converts a list of strings to a regex that matches any of the strings. Especially useful in combination with "keys". Example:
my $re = list2re keys %hash;
$str =~ s/($re)/$hash{$1}/g;
byval BLOCK SCALAR
Takes a code block and a value, runs the block with $_ set to that value, and returns the final value of $_. The global value of $_ is
not affected. $_ isn't aliased to the input value either, so modifying $_ in the block will not affect the passed in value. Example:
foo(byval { s/!/?/g } $str);
# Calls foo() with the value of $str, but all '!' have been replaced by '?'.
# $str itself is not modified.
mapval BLOCK LIST
Works like a combination of "map" and "byval"; i.e. it behaves like "map", but $_ is a copy, not aliased to the current element, and
the return value is taken from $_ again (it ignores the value returned by the block). Example:
my @foo = mapval { chomp } @bar;
# @foo contains a copy of @bar where all elements have been chomp'd.
# This could also be written as chomp(my @foo = @bar); but that's not
# always possible.
submatches
Returns a list of the strings captured by the last successful pattern match. Normally you don't need this function because this is
exactly what "m//" returns in list context. However, "submatches" also works in other contexts such as the RHS of "s//.../e".
replace STRING, REGEX, REPLACEMENT, FLAG
replace STRING, REGEX, REPLACEMENT
A clone of javascript's "String.prototype.replace". It works almost the same as "byval { s/REGEX/REPLACEMENT/FLAG } STRING", but with a
few important differences. REGEX can be a string or a compiled "qr//" object. REPLACEMENT can be a string or a subroutine reference. If
it's a string, it can contain the following replacement patterns:
$$ Inserts a '$'.
$& Inserts the matched substring.
$` Inserts the substring preceding the match.
$' Inserts the substring following the match.
$N (where N is a digit)
Inserts the substring matched by the Nth capturing group.
${N} (where N is one or more digits)
Inserts the substring matched by the Nth capturing group.
Note that these aren't variables; they're character sequences interpreted by "replace".
If REPLACEMENT is a subroutine reference, it's called with the following arguments: First the matched substring (like $& above), then
the contents of the capture buffers (as returned by "submatches"), then the offset where the pattern matched (like "$-[0]", see "@-" in
perlvar), then the STRING. The return value will be inserted in place of the matched substring.
Normally only the first occurrence of REGEX is replaced. If FLAG is present, it must be 'g' and causes all occurrences to be replaced.
