XML::LibXML::Text - XML::LibXML Class for Text Nodes
$text = XML::LibXML::Text->new( $content ); $nodedata = $text->data; $text->setData( $text_content ); $text->substringData($offset, $length); $text->appendData( $somedata ); $text->insertData($offset, $string); $text->deleteData($offset, $length); $text->deleteDataString($remstring, $all); $text->replaceData($offset, $length, $string); $text->replaceDataString($old, $new, $flag); $text->replaceDataRegEx( $search_cond, $replace_cond, $reflags );
$text = XML::LibXML::Text->new( $content );
The constructor of the class. It creates an unbound text node.
$nodedata = $text->data;
Although there exists the nodeValue attribute in the Node class, the DOM specification defines data as a separate attribute. XML::LibXML implements these two attributes not as different attributes, but as aliases, such as libxml2 does. Therefore
$text->data;
and
$text->nodeValue;
will have the same result and are not different entities.
$text->setData( $text_content );
This function sets or replaces text content to a node. The node has to be of the type ``text'', ``cdata'' or ``comment''.
$text->substringData($offset, $length);
Extracts a range of data from the node. (DOM Spec) This function takes the two parameters $offset and $length and returns the sub-string, if available.
If the node contains no data or $offset refers to an non-existing string index, this function will return undef. If $length is out of range substringData will return the data starting at $offset instead of causing an error.
$text->appendData( $somedata );
Appends a string to the end of the existing data. If the current text node contains no data, this function has the same effect as setData.
$text->insertData($offset, $string);
Inserts the parameter $string at the given $offset of the existing data of the node. This operation will not remove existing data, but change the order of the existing data.
The $offset has to be a positive value. If $offset is out of range, insertData will have the same behaviour as appendData.
$text->deleteData($offset, $length);
This method removes a chunk from the existing node data at the given offset. The $length parameter tells, how many characters should be removed from the string.
$text->deleteDataString($remstring, $all);
This method removes a chunk from the existing node data. Since the DOM spec is quite unhandy if you already know which string to remove from a text node, this method allows more perlish code :)
The functions takes two parameters: $string and optional the $all flag. If $all is not set, undef or 0, deleteDataString will remove only the first occurrence of $string. If $all is TRUE deleteDataString will remove all occurrences of $string from the node data.
$text->replaceData($offset, $length, $string);
The DOM style version to replace node data.
$text->replaceDataString($old, $new, $flag);
The more programmer friendly version of replaceData() :)
Instead of giving offsets and length one can specify the exact string ($oldstring) to be replaced. Additionally the $all flag allows to replace all occurrences of $oldstring.
$text->replaceDataRegEx( $search_cond, $replace_cond, $reflags );
This method replaces the node's data by a simple regular expression. Optional, this function allows to pass some flags that will be added as flag to the replace statement.
NOTE: This is a shortcut for
my $datastr = $node->getData(); $datastr =~ s/somecond/replacement/g; # 'g' is just an example for any flag $node->setData( $datastr );
This function can make things easier to read for simple replacements. For more complex variants it is recommended to use the code snippet above.
