NAME

Bio::Grep::Root - Superclass for all Bio::Grep* packages

DESCRIPTION

This superclass adds some useful methods to all Bio::Grep packages.

METHODS

See Bio::Root::Root for inherited methods.

is_integer($var_to_check, 'Description')

Returns the variable, but it is now not tainted anymore. Throws an exception if the specified variable is not an integer. If a second argument is passed, it will be used in the exception text.

is_word($var_to_check, 'Description')

Returns the variable, but it is now not tainted anymore. Throws an exception if the specified variable is not a word. If a second argument is passed, it will be used in the exception text.

is_path($var_to_check, 'Description')

Returns the variable, but it is now not tainted anymore. Throws an exception if the specified variable is not a valid path (It is word but accepts also '/'). If a second argument is passed, it will be used in the exception text.

is_sentence($var_to_check, 'Description')

Returns the variable, but it is now not tainted anymore. Throws an exception if the specified variable is not a valid sentence (It is word but accepts also '/:,;|'). If a second argument is passed, it will be used in the exception text.

WARNING: make sure that command line arguments are quoted ( my $command = "... '$sentence' ")

is_arrayref_of_size($a_ref, $size)

Checks if $a_ref is an array reference and the array is of size $size or larger.

DIAGNOSTICS

... looks not valid.

Some variable does not match the specified regular expression. Bio::Root::BadParameter.

Argument is not an array reference.

Method is_arrayref_of_size() is used to check arguments. You probably called a method with wrong arguments.

Missing arguments: require hash with keys "regex" ...

You called the internal method _check_variable() without a valid hashref. Don't use this method. Bio::Root::BadParameter.

Size of argument is too small.

Method is_arrayref_of_size() is used to check arguments. You probably called a method with missing arguments.

Unknown regex.

You called the internal method _check_variable() with an invalid regex. Don't use this method. Bio::Root::BadParameter.
