NAME

Text::Query::SolveAdvancedString - Apply query expression on strings

SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Query;
  my $q=new Text::Query('hello and world',
                        -parse => 'Text::Query::ParseAdvanced',
                        -solve => 'Text::Query::SolveAdvancedString',
                        -build => 'Text::Query::BuildAdvancedString');


  $q->match('this hello is a world')

DESCRIPTION

Applies an expression built by CWText::Query::BuildAdvancedString to a list of strings.

METHODS

match ([TARGET])
If CWTARGET is a scalar, CWmatch returns a true value if the string specified by CWTARGET matches the query object's query expression. If CWTARGET is not given, the match is made against CW$_. If CWTARGET is an array, CWmatch returns a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements. If the elements of the array are references to sub- arrays, the match is done against the first element of each sub-array. This allows arbitrary information (e.g. filenames) to be associated with each string to match. If CWTARGET is a reference to an array, CWmatch returns a reference to a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements.
matchscalar ([TARGET])
Behaves just like CWMATCH when CWTARGET is a scalar or is not given. Slightly faster than CWMATCH under these circumstances.
