NAME

Text::Pipe::Split - Common text filter API

SYNOPSIS

Text::Pipe::Split->new;

DESCRIPTION

This pipe segment can split a string along a pattern into an array. It works like perl's split().

Text::Pipe::Split inherits from Text::Pipe::Base.

The superclass Text::Pipe::Base defines these methods and functions:

new(), ()(), (|(), bit_or(), filter_single(), init()

The superclass Class::Accessor::Complex defines these methods and functions:

carp(), cluck(), croak(), flatten(), mk_abstract_accessors(),
mk_array_accessors(), mk_boolean_accessors(),
mk_class_array_accessors(), mk_class_hash_accessors(),
mk_class_scalar_accessors(), mk_concat_accessors(),
mk_forward_accessors(), mk_hash_accessors(), mk_integer_accessors(),
mk_new(), mk_object_accessors(), mk_scalar_accessors(),
mk_set_accessors(), mk_singleton()

The superclass Class::Accessor defines these methods and functions:

_carp(), _croak(), _mk_accessors(), accessor_name_for(),
best_practice_accessor_name_for(), best_practice_mutator_name_for(),
follow_best_practice(), get(), make_accessor(), make_ro_accessor(),
make_wo_accessor(), mk_accessors(), mk_ro_accessors(),
mk_wo_accessors(), mutator_name_for(), set()

The superclass Class::Accessor::Installer defines these methods and functions:

install_accessor(), subname()

The superclass Class::Accessor::Constructor defines these methods and functions:

NO_DIRTY(), WITH_DIRTY(), _make_constructor(), mk_constructor(),
mk_constructor_with_dirty(), mk_singleton_constructor()

The superclass Data::Inherited defines these methods and functions:

every_hash(), every_list(), flush_every_cache_by_key()

The superclass Class::Accessor::Constructor::Base defines these methods and functions:

HYGIENIC(), STORE(), clear_dirty(), clear_hygienic(),
clear_unhygienic(), contains_hygienic(), contains_unhygienic(),
delete_hygienic(), delete_unhygienic(), dirty(), dirty_clear(),
dirty_set(), elements_hygienic(), elements_unhygienic(), hygienic(),
hygienic_clear(), hygienic_contains(), hygienic_delete(),
hygienic_elements(), hygienic_insert(), hygienic_is_empty(),
hygienic_size(), insert_hygienic(), insert_unhygienic(),
is_empty_hygienic(), is_empty_unhygienic(), set_dirty(),
size_hygienic(), size_unhygienic(), unhygienic(), unhygienic_clear(),
unhygienic_contains(), unhygienic_delete(), unhygienic_elements(),
unhygienic_insert(), unhygienic_is_empty(), unhygienic_size()

The superclass Tie::StdHash defines these methods and functions:

CLEAR(), DELETE(), EXISTS(), FETCH(), FIRSTKEY(), NEXTKEY(), SCALAR(),
TIEHASH()

METHODS

clear_limit
$obj->clear_limit;

Clears the value.

clear_pattern
$obj->clear_pattern;

Clears the value.

limit
my $value = $obj->limit;
$obj->limit($value);

A basic getter/setter method. If called without an argument, it returns the value. If called with a single argument, it sets the value.

limit_clear
$obj->limit_clear;

Clears the value.

pattern
my $value = $obj->pattern;
$obj->pattern($value);

A basic getter/setter method. If called without an argument, it returns the value. If called with a single argument, it sets the value.

pattern_clear
$obj->pattern_clear;

Clears the value.

filter

Takes a string input and splits it along the pattern, respecting the limit like perl's split() function.

If something else than a string is passed, it is returned unchanged.
