- Release of version 1.95 of Text::Balanced
- ==============================================================================
-
-
- NAME
-
- Text::Balanced - Extract delimited text sequences from strings.
-
-
- SUMMARY (see Balanced.pod for full details)
-
- Text::Balanced::extract_delimited
-
- `extract_delimited' extracts the initial substring of a string
- which is delimited by a user-specified set of single-character
- delimiters, whilst ignoring any backslash-escaped delimiter
- characters.
-
- Text::Balanced::extract_bracketed
-
- `extract_bracketed' extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited substring
- (using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter brackets:
- '(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>').
-
- Text::Balanced::extract_quotelike
-
- `extract_quotelike' attempts to recognize and extract any one of the
- various Perl quote and quotelike operators (see "perlop(3)"). Embedded
- backslashed delimiters, nested bracket delimiters (for the
- quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are all correctly handled.
-
- Text::Balanced::extract_codeblock
-
- `extract_codeblock' attempts to recognize and extract a
- balanced bracket-delimited substring which may also contain
- unbalanced brackets inside Perl quotes or quotelike
- operations. That is, `extract_codeblock' is like a combination
- of `extract_bracketed' and `extract_quotelike'.
-
- Text::Balanced::extract_tagged
-
- `extract_tagged' attempts to recognize and extract a
- substring between two arbitrary "tag" patterns (a start tag
- and an end tag).
-
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- It's all pure Perl, so just put the .pm file in its appropriate
- local Perl subdirectory.
