Description

Renders the object tree to a string.

Parameter encoding

The character encoding to be used. Defaults the character encoding in the XML header, or UTF-8 if none.

Module Parser.XML.SloppyDOM

Description

A somewhat DOM-like library that implements lazy generation of the node tree, i.e. it's generated from the data upon lookup. There's also a little bit of XPath evaluation to do queries on the node tree.

Implementation note: This is generally more pragmatic than Parser.XML.DOM, meaning it's not so pretty and compliant, but more efficient.

Implementation status: There's only enough implemented to parse a node tree from source and access it, i.e. modification functions aren't implemented. Data hiding stuff like NodeList and NamedNodeMap is not implemented, partly since it's cumbersome to meet the "live" requirement. Also, Parser.HTML is used in XML mode to parse the input. Thus it's too error tolerant to be XML compliant, and it currently doesn't handle DTD elements, like "<!DOCTYPE", or the XML declaration (i.e. "<?xml version='1.0'?>".


Method parse

Document parse(string source, void|int raw_values)

Description

Normally entities are decoded, and Node.xml_format will encode them again. If raw_values is nonzero then all text and attribute values are instead kept in their original form.

Class Parser.XML.SloppyDOM.Document

Note

The node tree is very likely a cyclic structure, so it might be an good idea to destruct it when you're finished with it, to avoid garbage. Destructing the Document object always destroys all nodes in it.


Inherit NodeWithChildElements

inherit NodeWithChildElements : NodeWithChildElements


Method get_elements

array(Element) get_elements(string name)

Description

Note that this one looks among the top level elements, as opposed to get_elements_by_tag_name. This means that if the document is correct, you can only look up the single top level element here.

Note

Not DOM compliant.


Method get_raw_values

int get_raw_values()

Note

Not DOM compliant.

Class Parser.XML.SloppyDOM.Node

Description

Basic node.


Method get_text_content

string get_text_content()

Description

If the raw_values flag is set in the owning document, the text is returned with entities and CDATA blocks intact.

parse


Method simple_path

mapping(string:string)|Node|array(mapping(string:string)|Node)|string|zero simple_path(string path, void|int xml_format)

Description

Access a node or a set of nodes through an expression that is a subset of an XPath RelativeLocationPath in abbreviated form.

That means one or more Steps separated by "/" or "//". A Step consists of an AxisSpecifier followed by a NodeTest and then optionally by one or more Predicate's.

"/" before a Step causes it to be matched only against the immediate children of the node(s) selected by the previous Step. "//" before a Step causes it to be matched against any children in the tree below the node(s) selected by the previous Step. The initial selection before the first Step is this element.

The currently allowed AxisSpecifier NodeTest combinations are:

  • name to select all elements with the given name. The name can be "*" to select all.

  • @name to select all attributes with the given name. The name can be "*" to select all.

  • comment() to select all comments.

  • text() to select all text and CDATA blocks. Note that all entity references are also selected, under the assumption that they would expand to text only.

  • processing-instruction("name") to select all processing instructions with the given name. The name can be left out to select all. Either ' or " may be used to delimit the name. For compatibility, it can also occur without surrounding quotes.

  • node() to select all nodes, i.e. the whole content of an element node.

  • . to select the currently selected element itself.

A Predicate is on the form [PredicateExpr] where PredicateExpr currently can be in any of the following forms:

  • An integer indexes one item in the selected set, according to the document order. A negative index counts from the end of the set.

  • A RelativeLocationPath as specified above. It's executed for each element in the selected set and those where it yields an empty result are filtered out while the rest remain in the set.

  • A RelativeLocationPath as specified above followed by ="value". The path is executed for each element in the selected set and those where the text result of it is equal to the given value remain in the set. Either ' or " may be used to delimit the value.

If xml_format is nonzero, the return value is an xml formatted string of all the matched nodes, in document order. Otherwise the return value is as follows:

Attributes are returned as one or more index/value pairs in a mapping. Other nodes are returned as the node objects. If the expression is on a form that can give at most one answer (i.e. there's a predicate with an integer index) then a single mapping or node is returned, or zero if there was no match. If the expression can give more answers then the return value is an array containing zero or more attribute mappings and/or nodes. The array follows document order.

Note

Not DOM compliant.


Method xml_format

string xml_format()

Description

Returns the formatted XML that corresponds to the node tree.

Note

Not DOM compliant.

Description

Returns all descendant elements in document order.

Note

Not DOM compliant.


Method get_descendant_nodes

array(Node) get_descendant_nodes()

Description

Returns all descendant nodes (except attribute nodes) in document order.

Note

Not DOM compliant.


Method get_elements

array(Element) get_elements(string name)

Description

Lightweight variant of get_elements_by_tag_name that returns a simple array instead of a fancy live NodeList.

Note

Not DOM compliant.

Module Parser.XML.Tree

Description

XML parser that generates node-trees.

Has some support for XML namespaces http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/ RFC 2518 section 23.4.

Note

This module defines two sets of node trees; the SimpleNode-based, and the Node-based. The main difference between the two, is that the Node-based trees have parent pointers, which tend to generate circular data references and thus garbage.

There are some more subtle differences between the two. Please read the documentation carefully.

Replaces the first occurrence of the old node child with the new node child or children.

Note

The return value differs from the one returned by Node()->replace_child().

Returns

Returns the current node on success, and 0 (zero) if the node old wasn't found.


Method replace_children

void replace_children(array(AbstractSimpleNode) children)

Description

Replaces the nodes children with the provided ones.


Method walk_inorder

int walk_inorder(function(AbstractSimpleNode, mixed ... :int|void) callback, mixed ... args)

Description

Traverse the node subtree in inorder, left subtree first, then root node, and finally the remaining subtrees, calling the function callback for every node. If the function callback returns STOP_WALK the traverse is promptly aborted and STOP_WALK is returned.


Method walk_postorder

int walk_postorder(function(AbstractSimpleNode, mixed ... :int|void) callback, mixed ... args)

Description

Traverse the node subtree in postorder, first subtrees from left to right, then the root node, calling the function callback for every node. If the function callback returns STOP_WALK the traverse is promptly aborted and STOP_WALK is returned.


Method walk_preorder

int walk_preorder(function(AbstractSimpleNode, mixed ... :int|void) callback, mixed ... args)

Description

Traverse the node subtree in preorder, root node first, then subtrees from left to right, calling the callback function for every node. If the callback function returns STOP_WALK the traverse is promptly aborted and STOP_WALK is returned.


Method walk_preorder_2

int walk_preorder_2(function(AbstractSimpleNode, mixed ... :int|void) cb_1, function(AbstractSimpleNode, mixed ... :int|void) cb_2, mixed ... args)

Description

Traverse the node subtree in preorder, root node first, then subtrees from left to right. For each node we call cb_1 before iterating through children, and then cb_2 (which always gets called even if the walk is aborted earlier). If the callback function returns STOP_WALK the traverse decend is aborted and STOP_WALK is returned once all waiting cb_2 functions have been called.


Method zap_tree

void zap_tree()

Description

Destruct the tree recursively. When the inheriting AbstractNode or Node is used, which have parent pointers, this function should be called for every tree that no longer is in use to avoid frequent garbage collector runs.

Class Parser.HTML

Description

This is a simple parser for SGML structured markups. It's not really HTML, but it's useful for that purpose.

The simple way to use it is to give it some information about available tags and containers, and what callbacks those are to call.

The object is easily reused, by calling the clone() function.

See also

add_tag, add_container, finish


Method _inspect

mapping _inspect()

Description

This is a low-level way of debugging a parser. This gives a mapping of the internal state of the Parser.HTML object.

The format and contents of this mapping may change without further notice.


Method _set_tag_callback
Method _set_entity_callback
Method _set_data_callback

Parser.HTML _set_tag_callback(function(:void)|string|array to_call)
Parser.HTML _set_entity_callback(function(:void)|string|array to_call)
Parser.HTML _set_data_callback(function(:void)|string|array to_call)

Description

These functions set up the parser object to call the given callbacks upon tags, entities and/or data. The callbacks will only be called if there isn't another tag/container/entity handler for these.

The callback function will be called with the parser object as first argument, and the active string as second. Note that no parsing of the contents has been done. Both endtags and normal tags are called; there is no container parsing.

The return values from the callbacks are handled in the same way as the return values from callbacks registered with add_tag and similar functions.

The data callback will be called as seldom as possible with the longest possible string, as long as it doesn't get called out of order with any other callback. It will never be called with a zero length string.

If a string or array is given instead of a function, it will act as the return value from the function. Arrays or empty strings is probably preferable to avoid recursion.

Returns

Returns the object being called.


Method add_tag
Method add_container
Method add_entity
Method add_quote_tag
Method add_tags
Method add_containers
Method add_entities

Parser.HTML add_tag(string name, mixed to_do)
Parser.HTML add_container(string name, mixed to_do)
Parser.HTML add_entity(string entity, mixed to_do)
Parser.HTML add_quote_tag(string name, mixed to_do, string end)
Parser.HTML add_tags(mapping(string:mixed) tags)
Parser.HTML add_containers(mapping(string:mixed) containers)
Parser.HTML add_entities(mapping(string:mixed) entities)

Description

Registers the actions to take when parsing various things. Tags, containers, entities are as usual. add_quote_tag() adds a special kind of tag that reads any data until the next occurrence of the end string immediately before a tag end.

Parameter to_do

This argument can be any of the following.

function(:void)

The function will be called as a callback function. It will get the following arguments, depending on the type of callback.

 mixed tag_callback(Parser.HTML parser,mapping args,mixed ... extra)
 mixed container_callback(Parser.HTML parser,mapping args,string content,mixed ... extra)
 mixed entity_callback(Parser.HTML parser,mixed ... extra)
 mixed quote_tag_callback(Parser.HTML parser,string content,mixed ... extra)
	

string

This tag/container/entity is then replaced by the string. The string is normally not reparsed, i.e. it's equivalent to writing a function that returns the string in an array (but a lot faster). If reparse_strings is set the string will be reparsed, though.

array

The first element is a function as above. It will receive the rest of the array as extra arguments. If extra arguments are given by set_extra(), they will appear after the ones in this array.

int(0..)

If there is a tag/container/entity with the given name in the parser, it's removed.

The callback function can return:

string

This string will be pushed on the parser stack and be parsed. Be careful not to return anything in this way that could lead to a infinite recursion.

array

The element(s) of the array is the result of the function. This will not be parsed. This is useful for avoiding infinite recursion. The array can be of any size, this means the empty array is the most effective to return if you don't care about the result. If the parser is operating in mixed_mode, the array can contain anything. Otherwise only strings are allowed.

int(0)

This means "don't do anything", ie the item that generated the callback is left as it is, and the parser continues.

int(1)

Reparse the last item again. This is useful to parse a tag as a container, or vice versa: just add or remove callbacks for the tag and return this to jump to the right callback.

Returns

Returns the object being called.

tags, containers, entities


Method at
Method at_line
Method at_char
Method at_column

array(int) at()
int at_line()
int at_char()
int at_column()

Description

Returns the current position. Characters and columns count from 0, lines count from 1.

at() gives an array with the following layout.

Array
int 0

Line.

int 1

Character.

int 2

Column.


Method case_insensitive_tag

int case_insensitive_tag(void|int value)

Description

All tags and containers are matched case insensitively, and argument names are converted to lowercase. Tags added with add_quote_tag() are not affected, though. Switching to case insensitive mode and back won't preserve the case of registered tags and containers.


Method clear_tags
Method clear_containers
Method clear_entities
Method clear_quote_tags

Parser.HTML clear_tags()
Parser.HTML clear_containers()
Parser.HTML clear_entities()
Parser.HTML clear_quote_tags()

Description

Returns

Returns the object being called.

See also

add_tag, add_tags, add_container, add_containers, add_entity, add_entities


Method clone

Parser.HTML clone(mixed ... args)

Description

Clones the Parser.HTML object. A new object of the same class is created, filled with the parse setup from the old object.

This is the simpliest way of flushing a parse feed/output.

The arguments to clone is sent to the new object, simplifying work for custom classes that inherits Parser.HTML.

Returns

Returns the new object.

Note

create is called _before_ the setup is copied.


Method tags
Method containers
Method entities

mapping(string:mixed) tags()
mapping(string:mixed) containers()
mapping(string:mixed) entities()

Description

Returns the current callback settings. When matching is done case insensitively, all names will be returned in lowercase.

Implementation note: These run in constant time since they return copy-on-write mappings.

See also

add_tag, add_tags, add_container, add_containers, add_entity, add_entities


Method context

string context()

Description

Returns the current output context as a string.

"data"

In top level data. This is always returned when called from tag or container callbacks.

"arg"

In an unquoted argument.

"splice_arg"

In a splice argument.

The return value can also be a single character string, in which case the context is a quoted argument. The string contains the starting quote character.

This function is typically only useful in entity callbacks, which can be called both from text and argument values of different sorts.

See also

splice_arg


Method current

string current()

Description

Gives the current range of data, ie the whole tag/entity/etc being parsed in the current callback. Returns zero if there's no current range, i.e. when the function is not called in a callback.


Method feed

Parser.HTML feed()
Parser.HTML feed(string s, void|int do_parse)

Description

Feed new data to the Parser.HTML object. This will start a scan and may result in callbacks. Note that it's possible that all data fed isn't processed - to do that, call finish().

If the function is called without arguments, no data is fed, but the parser is run. If the string argument is followed by a 0, ->feed(s,0);, the string is fed, but the parser isn't run.

Returns

Returns the object being called.

See also

finish, read, feed_insert


Method feed_insert

Parser.HTML feed_insert(string s)

Description

This pushes a string on the parser stack.

Returns

Returns the object being called.

Note

Don't use!


Method finish

Parser.HTML finish()
Parser.HTML finish(string s)

Description

Finish a parser pass. A string may be sent here, similar to feed().

Returns

Returns the object being called.


Method get_extra

array get_extra()

Description

Gets the extra arguments set by set_extra().

Returns

Returns the object being called.


Method ignore_comments

int ignore_comments(void|int value)


Method ignore_tags

int ignore_tags(void|int value)

Description

Do not look for tags at all. Normally tags are matched even when there's no callbacks for them at all. When this is set, the tag delimiters '<' and '>' will be treated as any normal character.


Method ignore_unknown

int ignore_unknown(void|int value)

Description

Treat unknown tags and entities as text data, continuing parsing for tags and entities inside them.

Note

When functions are specified with _set_tag_callback() or _set_entity_callback(), all tags or entities, respectively, are considered known. However, if one of those functions return 1 and ignore_unknown is set, they are treated as text data instead of making another call to the same function again.


Method lazy_argument_end

int lazy_argument_end(void|int value)

Description

A '>' in a tag argument closes both the argument and the tag, even if the argument is quoted.


Method lazy_entity_end

int lazy_entity_end(void|int value)

Description

Normally, the parser search indefinitely for the entity end character (i.e. ';'). When this flag is set, the characters '&', '<', '>', '"', ''', and any whitespace breaks the search for the entity end, and the entity text is then ignored, i.e. treated as data.


Method match_tag

int match_tag(void|int value)

Description

Unquoted nested tag starters and enders will be balanced when parsing tags. This is the default.


Method max_parse_depth

int max_parse_depth(void|int value)

Description

Maximum recursion depth during parsing. Recursion occurs when a tag/container/entity/quote tag callback function returns a string to be reparsed. The default value is 10.


Method mixed_mode

int mixed_mode(void|int value)

Description

Allow callbacks to return arbitrary data in the arrays, which will be concatenated in the output.


Method nestling_entity_end

int nestling_entity_end(void|int value)


Method parse_tag_args

mapping parse_tag_args(string tag)

Description

Parses the tag arguments from a tag string without the name and surrounding brackets, i.e. a string on the form "some='tag'  args".

Returns

Returns a mapping containing the tag arguments.

See also

tag_args


Method parse_tag_name

string parse_tag_name(string tag)

Description

Parses the tag name from a tag string without the surrounding brackets, i.e. a string on the form "tagname some='tag'  args".

Returns

Returns the tag name or an empty string if none.


Method quote_stapling

int quote_stapling(int|void enable)

Description

Enable old-style attribute quoting by stapling.

Parameter enable

Enable/disable the mode. Defaults to keeping the old setting.

Returns

Returns the prior setting.

Note

Any use of this mode is discouraged, and is only provided for compatibility with versions of Pike prior to 8.0.

Note

Note also that this mode will output runtime warnings whenever the mode has had an effect on the parsing.


Method quote_tags

mapping(string:array(mixed|string)) quote_tags()

Description

Returns the current callback settings. The values are arrays ({callback, end_quote}). When matching is done case insensitively, all names will be returned in lowercase.

Implementation note: quote_tags() allocates a new mapping for every call and thus, unlike e.g. tags() runs in linear time.

See also

add_quote_tag


Method read

string|array(mixed) read()
string|array(mixed) read(int max_elems)

Description

Read parsed data from the parser object.

Returns

Returns a string of parsed data if the parser isn't in mixed_mode, an array of arbitrary data otherwise.


Method reparse_strings

int reparse_strings(void|int value)

Description

When a plain string is used as a tag/container/entity/quote tag callback, it's not reparsed if this flag is unset. Setting it causes all such strings to be reparsed.


Method set_extra

Parser.HTML set_extra(mixed ... args)

Description

Sets the extra arguments passed to all tag, container and entity callbacks.

Returns

Returns the object being called.


Method splice_arg

string splice_arg(void|string name)

Description

If given a string, it sets the splice argument name to it. It returns the old splice argument name.

If a splice argument name is set, it's parsed in all tags, both those with callbacks and those without. Wherever it occurs, its value (after being parsed for entities in the normal way) is inserted directly into the tag. E.g:

<foo arg1="val 1" splice="arg2='val 2' arg3" arg4>

becomes

<foo arg1="val 1" arg2='val 2' arg3 arg4>

if "splice" is set as the splice argument name.


Method tag

array tag(void|mixed default_value)

Description

Returns the equivalent of the following calls.

Array
string 0

tag_name()

mapping(string:mixed) 1

tag_args(default_value)

string 2

tag_content()


Method tag_args

mapping(string:mixed) tag_args(void|mixed default_value)

Description

Gives the arguments of the current tag, parsed to a convenient mapping consisting of key:value pairs. If the current thing isn't a tag, it gives zero. default_value is used for arguments which have no value in the tag. If default_value isn't given, the value is set to the same string as the key.


Method tag_content

string tag_content()

Description

Gives the content of the current tag, if it's a container or quote tag. Otherwise returns zero.


Method tag_name

string|zero tag_name()

Description

Gives the name of the current tag, or zero. If used from an entity callback, it gives the string inside the entity.


Method write_out

Parser.HTML write_out(mixed ... args)

Description

Send data to the output stream, i.e. it won't be parsed and it won't be sent to the data callback, if any.

Any data is allowed when the parser is running in mixed_mode. Only strings are allowed otherwise.

Returns

Returns the object being called.


Method ws_before_tag_name

int ws_before_tag_name(void|int value)

Description

Allow whitespace between the tag start character and the tag name.


Method xml_tag_syntax

int xml_tag_syntax(void|int value)

Description

Whether or not to use XML syntax to tell empty tags and container tags apart.

0

Use HTML syntax only. If there's a '/' last in a tag, it's just treated as any other argument.

1

Use HTML syntax, but ignore a '/' if it comes last in a tag. This is the default.

2

Use XML syntax, but when a tag that does not end with '/>' is found which only got a non-container tag callback, treat it as a non-container (i.e. don't start to seek for the container end).

3

Use XML syntax only. If a tag got both container and non-container callbacks, the non-container callback is called when the empty element form (i.e. the one ending with '/>') is used, and the container callback otherwise. If only a container callback exists, it gets the empty string as content when there's none to be parsed. If only a non-container callback exists, it will be called (without the content argument) for both kinds of tags.

Module Parser


Method decode_numeric_xml_entity

string|zero decode_numeric_xml_entity(string chref)

Description

Decodes the numeric XML entity chref, e.g. "&#x34;" and returns the character as a string. chref is the name part of the entity, i.e. without the leading '&' and trailing ';'. Returns zero if chref isn't on a recognized form or if the character number is too large to be represented in a string.


Method encode_html_entities

string encode_html_entities(string raw)

Description

Encode characters to HTML entities, e.g. turning "<" into "&lt;".

The characters that will be encoded are characters <= 32, "\"&'<>" and characters >= 127 and <= 160 and characters >= 255.


Method get_xml_parser

HTML get_xml_parser()

Description

Returns a Parser.HTML initialized for parsing XML. It has all the flags set properly for XML syntax and callbacks to ignore comments, CDATA blocks and unknown PI tags, but it has no registered tags and doesn't decode any entities.


Method html_entity_parser
Method parse_html_entities

HTML html_entity_parser()
string parse_html_entities(string in)
HTML html_entity_parser(int noerror)
string parse_html_entities(string in, int noerror)

Description

Parse any HTML entities in the string to unicode characters. Either return a complete parser (to build on or use) or parse a string. Throw an error if there is an unrecognized entity in the string if noerror is not set.

Note

Currently using XHTML 1.0 tables.

Class Parser.CSV

Description

This is a parser for line oriented data that is either comma, semi-colon or tab separated. It extends the functionality of the Parser.Tabular with some specific functionality related to a header and record oriented parsing of huge datasets.

See also

parsehead(), fetch()


Method parsehead

int parsehead(void|string delimiters, void|string|object matchfieldname)

Description

This function consumes the header-line preceding a typical comma, semicolon or tab separated value list and autocompiles a format description from that. After this function has successfully parsed a header-line, you can proceed with either fetchrecord() or fetch() to get the remaining records.

Parameter delimiters

Explicitly specify a string containing all the characters that should be considered field delimiters. If not specified or empty, the function will try to autodetect the single delimiter in use.

Parameter matchfieldname

A string containing a regular expression, using Regexp.SimpleRegexp syntax, or an object providing a Regexp.SimpleRegexp.match() single string argument compatible method, that must match all the individual fieldnames before the header will be considered valid.

Returns

It returns true if a CSV head has successfully been parsed.

Variable trunk

array(Revision) Parser.RCS.trunk

Description

Data for all revisions on the trunk, sorted in the same order as the RCS file stored them - ie descending, most recent first, I'd assume (rcsfile(5), of course, fails to state such irrelevant information).


Method create

Parser.RCS Parser.RCS(string|void file_name, string|int(0)|void file_contents, void|int max_revisions)

Description

Initializes the RCS object.

Parameter file_name

The path to the raw RCS file (includes trailing ",v"). Used mainly for error reporting (truncated RCS file or similar). Stored in rcs_file_name.

Parameter file_contents

If a string is provided, that string will be parsed to initialize the RCS object. If a zero (0) is sent, no initialization will be performed at all. If no value is given at all, but file_name was provided, that file will be loaded and parsed for object initialization.

See also

the rcsfile(5) manpage outlines the sections of an RCS file


Syntax

int Parser.RCS.DeltatextIterator.nprotected bool read_next()

Description

Drops the leading whitespace before next revision's deltatext entry and sets this_rev to the revision number we're about to read.


Method parse_deltatext_section

protected int parse_deltatext_section(array raw, int o)

Description

Chops off the first deltatext section from the token array raw and returns the rest of the string, or the value 0 (zero) if we had already visited the final deltatext entry. The deltatext's data is stored destructively in the appropriate entry of the revisions array.

Note

raw+o must start with a deltatext entry for this method to work

FIXME

does not handle rcsfile(5) newphrase skipping

FIXME

if the rcs file is truncated, this method writes a descriptive error to stderr and then returns 0 - some nicer error handling wouldn't hurt

Class Parser.SGML

Description

This is a handy simple parser of SGML-like syntax like HTML. It doesn't do anything advanced, but finding the corresponding end-tags.

It's used like this:

array res=Parser.SGML()->feed(string)->finish()->result();

The resulting structure is an array of atoms, where the atom can be a string or a tag. A tag contains a similar array, as data.

Example

A string "<gat>&nbsp;<gurka>&nbsp;</gurka>&nbsp;<banan>&nbsp;<kiwi>&nbsp;</gat>" results in

({
   tag "gat" object with data:
   ({
       tag "gurka" object with data:
       ({
           " "
       })
       tag "banan" object with data:
       ({
           " "
           tag "kiwi" object with data:
           ({
              " "
           })
       })
   })
})

ie, simple "tags" (not containers) are not detected, but containers are ended implicitely by a surrounding container _with_ an end tag.

The 'tag' is an object with the following variables:

	 string name;           - name of tag
	 mapping args;          - argument to tag
	 int line,char,column;  - position of tag
	 int eline,echar,ecolumn;  - end position of tag, src[char..echar-1] got the block. add by Xuesong Guo
	 string file;           - filename (see <ref>create</ref>)
	 array(SGMLatom) data;  - contained data
	 int open;		- is not an empty element and has no end tag. add by Xuesong Guo
     


Variable file

string Parser.SGML.file


Method create

Parser.SGML Parser.SGML()
Parser.SGML Parser.SGML(string filename, function(:void)|void name_formater, function(:void)|void argname_formater)

Method feed
Method finish
Method result

object feed(string s)
array(SGMLatom|string) finish()
array(SGMLatom|string) result(string s)

Description

Method compile

array|mapping compile(string|Stdio.File|Stdio.FILE input)

Description

Compiles the format description language into a compiled structure that can be fed to setformat, fetch, or create.

  • The format description is case sensitive.

  • The format description starts with a single line containing: [Tabular description begin]

  • The format description ends with a single line containing: [Tabular description end]

  • Any lines before the startline are skipped.

  • Any lines after the endline are not consumed.

  • Empty lines are skipped.

  • Comments start after a # or ;.

  • The depth level of a field is indicated by the number of leading spaces or colons at the beginning of the line.

  • The fieldname must not contain any whitespace.

  • An arbitrary number of single character field delimiters can be specified between brackets, e.g. [,;] or [,] would be for CSV.

  • When field delimiters are being used: in case of CSV type delimiters [\t,; ] the standard CSV quoting rules apply, in case other delimiters are used, no quoting is supported and the last field on a line should not specify a delimiter, but should specify a 0 fieldwidth instead.

  • A fixed field width can be specified by a plain decimal integer, a value of 0 indicates a field with arbitrary length that extends till the end of the line.

  • A matching regular expression can be enclosed in "", it has to match the complete field content and uses Regexp.SimpleRegexp syntax.

  • On records the following options are supported:

    mandatory

    This record is required.

    fold

    Fold this record's contents in the enclosing record.

    single

    This record is present at most once.

  • On fields the following options are supported:

    drop

    After reading and matching this field, drop the field content from the resulting mappingstructure.
