Text::LTSV - Labeled Tab Separated Value manipulator

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use Text::LTSV;
my $p = Text::LTSV->new;
my $hash = $p->parse_line("hoge:foo\tbar:baz\n");
is $hash->{hoge}, 'foo';
is $hash->{bar},  'baz';
my $data = $p->parse_file('./t/test.ltsv'); # or parse_file_utf8
is $data->[0]->{hoge}, 'foo';
is $data->[0]->{bar}, 'baz';
# Iterator interface
my $it = $p->parse_file_iter('./t/test.ltsv'); # or parse_file_iter_utf8
while ($it->has_next) {
    my $hash = $it->next;
    ...
}
$it->end;
# Only want certain fields?
my $p = Text::LTSV->new;
$p->want_fields('hoge');
$p->parse_line("hoge:foo\tbar:baz\n");
# Vise versa
my $p = Text::LTSV->new;
$p->ignore_fields('hoge');
$p->parse_line("hoge:foo\tbar:baz\n");
my $ltsv = Text::LTSV->new(
  hoge => 'foo',
  bar  => 'baz',
);
is $ltsv->to_s, "hoge:foo\tbar:baz";
            
          

DESCRIPTION

Labeled Tab-separated Values (LTSV) format is a variant of Tab-separated Values (TSV). Each record in a LTSV file is represented as a single line. Each field is separated by TAB and has a label and a value. The label and the value have been separated by ':'.

cf: http://ltsv.org/

This format is useful for log files, especially HTTP access_log.

This module provides a simple way to process LTSV-based string and files, which converts Key-Value pair(s) of LTSV to Perl's hash reference(s).
