Text::Same::ChunkedSource

Objects of this class represent a source of chunks (generally lines) in a source (generally a file). The "chunks" could potentially be paragraphs or sentences.

my $source = new Text::Same::ChunkedSource(chunks->\@chunks)

See below. Methods private to this module are prefixed by an underscore.
Title : new Usage : $source = new Text::Same::ChunkedSource(chunks->\@chunks) Function: Creates a new ChunkedSource object from an array Returns : A Text::Same::ChunkedSource object Args : chunks - an array of strings
Title : name Usage : my $name = $source->name(); Function: return the name of this source - generally the filename
Title : get_all_chunks Usage : $all_chunks = $source->get_all_chunks; Function: return (in order) the chunks from this source
Title : get_chunk_by_indx Usage : $chunk = $source->get_chunk_by_indx($indx); Function: return the chunk/line at the given index in this source
Title : get_all_chunks_count Usage : $count = $source->get_all_chunks_count; Function: return the number of chunks in this source
Title : get_filtered_chunk_indexes
Usage : $filtered_chunk_indexes = $source->get_filtered_chunk_indexes($options);
Function: return (in order) the chunks from this source that match the given
options:
ignore_case=> (0 or 1) -- ignore case when comparing
ignore_blanks=> (0 or 1) -- ignore blank lines when comparing
ignore_space=> (0 or 1) -- ignore whitespace in chunks
Title : get_matching_chunk_indexes
Usage : $matches = $source->get_matching_chunk_indexes($options, $text);
Function: return (in order) the chunks from this source that match the given
text.
options:
ignore_case=> (0 or 1) -- ignore case when comparing
ignore_blanks=> (0 or 1) -- ignore blank lines when comparing
ignore_space=> (0 or 1) -- ignore whitespace in chunks
Title : _get_filtered_indx_from_real
Usage : $indx = $source->_get_filtered_indx_from_real($options, $real_indx);
Function: for the given index (eg. line number) in this source, return the
corresponding index in the list of chunks generated by applying the
$options. For example if $options->{ignore_blanks} is true the
filtered chunks will contain no blank lines.
eg. input lines:
some text on line 0
<blank line>
<blank line>
some text on line 3
the real index of "some text on line 3" is 3, but the filtered index is 1 if
ignore_blanks is set because the filtered lines are:
some text on line 0
some text on line 3
Title : get_previous_chunk_indx
Usage : $prev_chunk_indx =
$source->get_previous_chunk_indx($options, $chunk_indx);
Function: return the previous chunk index from the list of filtered chunk
indexes (for the given $options). See discussion above.
Title : get_next_chunk_indx
Usage : $next_chunk_indx =
$source->get_next_chunk_indx($options, $chunk_indx);
Function: return the next chunk index from the list of filtered chunk
indexes (for the given $options). See discussion above.
