- Revision history for Perl extension Text::Balanced.
-
- 1.00 Mon Aug 11 12:42:56 1997
-
- - original version
-
-
- 1.01 Mon Sep 8 18:09:18 EST 1997
-
- - changed "quotemeta" to "quotemeta $_" to work
- around bug in Perl 5.002 and 5.003
-
-
- 1.10 Tue Sep 30 17:23:23 EST 1997
-
- - reworked extract_quotelike to correct handling of some obscure cases
-
-
- 1.21 Sat Oct 4 17:21:54 EST 1997
-
- - synchronised with Parse::RecDescent distribution (version number
- will now reflect that package)
-
- 1.23 Fri Oct 17 10:26:38 EST 1997
-
- - changed behaviour in scalar and void contexts. Scalar contexts
- now return only the extracted string. Void contexts now remove
- the extracted string from the first argument (or $_).
-
- 1.24
-
- - changed behaviour in scalar contexts. Scalar contexts
- now return the extracted string _and_ remove it from the
- first argument (or $_).
-
- - changed return values on failure (all contexts return undef
- for invalid return fields)
-
- - fixed some lurking bugs with trailing modifier handling
-
- - added :ALL tag to simplify wholesale importing of functions
-
- - fixed serious bug with embedded division operators ("/")
- This now also allows the ?...? form of pattern matching!
-
- 1.35 Wed Jun 24 09:53:31 1998
-
- - fixed handling of :: quantifiers in extract_variable()
-
- - numerous trivial lexical changes to make xemacs happy
-
-
- 1.36 Tue Jul 14 12:26:04 1998
-
- - Reinstated POD file missing from previous distribution
-
- - Added undocumented fourth parameter to extract_codeblock
- so as to correctly handle (?) and (s?) modifiers in
- RecDescent grammars.
-
-
- 1.40 Tue Aug 4 13:54:52 1998
-
- - Added (optional) handling of embedded quoted text to
- extract_delimited (see revised entry in Balanced.pod)
-
- - Added extract_tagged which extracts text between arbitrary,
- optionally nested start and end tags (see new entry in
- Balanced.pod).
-
- - Added delimited_pat which builds a pattern which matches a
- string delimited by any of the delimiters specified (see new
- entry in Balanced.pod).
-
- - Added test.pl
-
-
- 1.41 Mon Aug 10 14:51:50 1998
-
- - Reinstated change to extract_codeblock from 1.36 which were
- mysteriously lost in 1.40
-
-
- 1.50 Thu Aug 27 09:20:19 1998
-
- - Improved the structure of the regex generated by
- delimited_pat (and used in extract_delimited). It's
- considerably more complex, but also more robust and
- much faster in the worst case.
-
- - Altered extract_variable to accept whitespace in variables,
- e.g. '$ a -> {'b'} -> [2]'
-
-
-
- 1.51 Sat Feb 13 10:31:55 1999
-
- - Fixed bugs in prefix matching in extract_variable:
- * incorrectly used default if '' specified
- * now handles $#array correctly
-
- - Fixed bugs in extract_codeblock:
- * Now handles !~ properly
- * Now handles embedded comments better.
- * Now handles "raw" pattern matches better.
-
- - Added support for single strings or qr's as
- 'reject' and 'ignore' args to extract_tagged()
-
- - Added gen_extract_tagged() to "precompile"
- a specific tag extractor for repeated use
- (approximately 3 times faster!)
-
-
- 1.52 Thu Mar 4 12:43:38 1999
-
- - Added CSV parsing example to documentation of extract_multiple.
-
- - Fixed a bug with extract_codeblock in "RecDescent" mode
- (it would accept "subrule(s?)" and "subrule(?)", but
- not "subrule(s)"). Thanks, Jan.
-
-
- 1.66 Fri Jul 2 13:29:22 1999
-
- - Added ability to use quotelike operators in extract_bracketed
-
- - Fixed bug under 5.003 ('foreach my $func' not understood)
-
- - Added escape specification as fourth arg to &extract_delimited
-
- - Fixed handling of &delimited_pat and &extract_delimited
- when delimiter is same as escape
-
- - Fixed handling of ->, =>, and >> in &extract_code
- when delimiters are "<>"
-
-
- 1.76 Fri Nov 19 06:51:54 1999
-
- - IMPORTANT: Now requires 5.005 or better.
-
- - IMPORTANT: Made extract methods sensitive to the pos()
- value of the text they are parsing. In other words,
- all extract subroutines now act like patterns of the form
- /\G.../gc. See documentation for details.
-
- - IMPORTANT: Changed semantics of extract_multiple, in line
- with the above change, and to simplify the semantics to
- something vaguely predictable. See documentation for details.
-
- - Added ability to use qr/../'s and raw strings as extractors
- in extract_multiple. See documentation.
-
- - Added fourth argument to extract_codeblock to allow
- outermost brackets to be separately specified. See
- documentation for details.
-
- - Reimplemented internals of all extraction subroutines
- for significant speed-ups (between 100% and 2000%
- improvement).
-
- - Fixed nasty bug in extract_variable and extract_codeblock
- (they were returning prefix as well in scalar context)
-
- - Allowed read-only strings to be used as arguments in
- scalar contexts.
-
- - Renamed delimited_pat to gen-delimited pat (in line with
- gen_extract_tagged). Old name still works, but is now deprecated.
-
- - Tweaked all extraction subs so they correctly handle
- zero-length prefix matches after another zero-length match.
-
-
- 1.77 Mon Nov 22 06:08:23 1999
-
- - Fixed major bug in extract_codeblock (would not
- terminate if there was trailing whitespace)
-
- - Improved /.../ pattern parsing within codeblocks
-
-

- - Added explanatory note about prefix matching (thanks again, Tim)
-
- - Added handling of globs and sub refs to extract_variable
-
- - Pod tweak (thanks Abigail)
-
- - Allowed right tags to be run-time evaluated, so
- extract_tagged($text, '/([a-z]+)', '/end$1') works
- as expected.
-
- - Added optional blessing of matches via extract_multiple
-
- - Fixed bug in autogeneration of closing tags in extract_tagged
- (Thanks, Coke)
-

- gen_extract_tagged (Thanks Anthony)
