NAME
Test::STD::STDutil - used to wild card out text used for comparison
SYNOPSIS
use Test::STD::Scrub
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_probe($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_test_file($script_text)DESCRIPTION
The methods in the Test::STD:Scrub package are designed to support the Test::STDmaker and the ExtUtils::SVDmaker package. This is the focus and no other focus. Since Test::STD::Scrub is a separate package, the methods may be used elsewhere. In all likehood, any revisions will maintain backwards compatibility with previous revisions. However, support and the performance of the Test::STDmaker and ExtUtils::SVDmaker packages has priority over backwards compatibility.
scrub_date_ticket
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text)When comparing the contents of email messages, the date and email ticket should not be used in the comparision. The scrub_date_ticket method will replace the date and email ticket with a generic value. Applying the scrub_date_ticket to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the data and ticket as factors in the comparision.
scrub_date_version
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text)When comparing the contents of two Perl program modules, the date and version should not be used in the comparision. The scrub_date_ticket method will replace the date and version with a generic value. Applying the scrub_date_ticket to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the date and version as factors in the comparision.
scrub_file_line
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text)When comparing the ouput of Test module the file and line number should not be used in the comparision. The scrub_file_line method will replace the file and line with a generic value. Applying the scrub_file_line to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the file and line as factors in the comparision.
scrub_test_file
$scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_test_file($script_text)When comparing the ouput of Test:Harness module the test file should not be used in the comparision. The scrub_test_file method will replace the test file with a generic value. Applying the scrub_test_file to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the test file as a factor in the comparision.
REQUIREMENTS
Comming soon.

'QUALITY ASSURANCE
The module "t::Test::STD::Scrub" is the Software Test Description(STD) module for the "Test::STD::Scrub". module.
To generate all the test output files, run the generated test script, run the demonstration script and include it results in the "Test::STD::Scrub" POD, execute the following in any directory:
tmake -test_verbose -replace -run -pm=t::Test::STD::ScrubNote that tmake.pl must be in the execution path $ENV{PATH} and the "t" directory containing "t::Test::STD::Scrub" on the same level as the "lib" directory that contains the "Test::STD::Scrub" module.
