================== Text::Modify ================== NAME Text::Modify - interface for simple (and oo-style) text-file manipulation Text::Buffer - simple text buffer that supports basic edit functionality DESCRIPTION Text::Modify uses rules to process a buffer of textlines. Text::Buffer is used for the required editing functionalities for the text to process. A set of simple rules is used with some advanced functionality, which should suit the most common use cases of text file modification tasks. DEPENDENCIES No dependencies INSTALLATION To compile, test and install use: perl Build.PL ./Build.PL ./Build.PL test ./Build.PL install or the old method: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Make sure the last step (install) is executed with the appropriate privileges. CHANGES See the CHANGES file for more details TODO / WISHLIST Some ideas for improvements are: - Allow wildcard search and replaces - Better seperation of string and regex search and replaces (suggested by Terence Brannon) e.g. $txt->replace( string => "foo", with => "bar") - Using buffer and stringops like in emacs (suggested by Terence Brannon) COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2004, 2005 by Roland Lammel .
