DESCRIPTION

This is a collection of utilities using Text::ANSI::Fold module. All functions are aware of ANSI terminal sequence.

FUNCTION

There are exportable functions start with ansi_ prefix, and unexportable functions without them.

Unless otherwise noted, these functions are executed in the same context as ansi_fold exported by Text::ANSI::Fold module. That is, the parameters set by Text::ANSI::Fold->configure are effective.

• width(text)

• ansi_width(text)

  Returns visual width of given text.

• substr(text, offset, width [, replacement])

• ansi_substr(text, offset, width [, replacement])

  Returns substring just like Perl's substr function, but string position is calculated by the visible width on the screen instead of number of characters. If there is no corresponding substring, undef is returned always.

  If the padding option is specified, then if there is a corresponding substring, it is padded to the specified width and returned.

  It does not cut the text in the middle of multi-byte character. If you want to split the text in the middle of a wide character, specify the splitwide option.

    Text::ANSI::Fold->configure(splitwide => 1);
  

  If an optional replacement parameter is given, replace the substring by the replacement and return the entire string. If 0 is specified for the width, there may be no error even if the corresponding substring does not exist.
