NAME

Text::STDutil - used to wild card out text used for comparison

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Scrub

$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_probe($script_text)
$scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_test_file($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.

For example,

==> $text

Date: Feb 6 00 00 00 1969 +0000
Subject: 20030506, This Week in Health
X-SDticket: 20030205
X-eudora-date: Feb 6 2000 00 00 2003 +0000
X-SDmailit: dead Feb 5 2000 00 00 2003
Sent email 20030205 to support.softwarediamonds.com

==> Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($text)

Date: Feb 6 00 00 00 1969 +0000
Subject: XXXXXXXXX-X,  This Week in Health'
X-SDticket: XXXXXXXXX-X
X-eudora-date: Feb 6 00 00 00 1969 +0000
X-SDmailit: dead Sat Feb 6 00 00 00 1969 +0000
Sent email XXXXXXXXX-X to support.softwarediamonds.com

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.

For example,

==> $text

$VERSION = \'0.01\';
$DATE = \'2003/06/07\';

==> Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_version($text)

$VERSION = '0.00;
$DATE = 'Feb 6, 1969';

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.

For example,

==> $text 

ok 2 # (E:/User/SoftwareDiamonds/installation/t/Test/STDmaker/tgA1.t at line 123 TODO?!)';

==> Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_file_line($text)

ok 2 # (xxxx.t at line 000 TODO?!)

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.

For example,

==>$text

Running Tests\n\nE:/User/SoftwareDiamonds/installation/t/Test/STDmaker/tgA1.1..16 todo 2 5;

==> Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_test_file($text)

Running Tests xxx.t 1..16 todo 2 5;
