| 2 | Release of version 1.89 of Text::Balanced | |
| 3 | ============================================================================== | |

| 6 | NAME | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Text::Balanced - Extract delimited text sequences from strings. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | ||
| 11 | SUMMARY (see Balanced.pod for full details) | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Text::Balanced::extract_delimited | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | `extract_delimited' extracts the initial substring of a string | |
| 16 | which is delimited by a user-specified set of single-character | |
| 17 | delimiters, whilst ignoring any backslash-escaped delimiter | |
| 18 | characters. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Text::Balanced::extract_bracketed | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | `extract_bracketed' extracts a balanced-bracket-delimited substring | |
| 23 | (using any one (or more) of the user-specified delimiter brackets: | |
| 24 | '(..)', '{..}', '[..]', or '<..>'). | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | Text::Balanced::extract_quotelike | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | `extract_quotelike' attempts to recognize and extract any one of the | |
| 29 | various Perl quote and quotelike operators (see "perlop(3)"). Embedded | |
| 30 | backslashed delimiters, nested bracket delimiters (for the | |
| 31 | quotelike operators), and trailing modifiers are all correctly handled. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | Text::Balanced::extract_codeblock | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | `extract_codeblock' attempts to recognize and extract a | |
| 36 | balanced bracket-delimited substring which may also contain | |
| 37 | unbalanced brackets inside Perl quotes or quotelike | |
| 38 | operations. That is, `extract_codeblock' is like a combination | |
| 39 | of `extract_bracketed' and `extract_quotelike'. | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | Text::Balanced::extract_tagged | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | `extract_tagged' attempts to recognize and extract a | |
| 44 | substring between two arbitrary "tag" patterns (a start tag | |
| 45 | and an end tag). | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | ||
| 48 | INSTALLATION | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | It's all pure Perl, so just put the .pm file in its appropriate | |
| 51 | local Perl subdirectory. | |
