NAME

Template::Reverse - A template generator getting different parts between pair of text

VERSION

version 0.202

SYNOPSIS

    use Template::Reverse;
    my $rev = Template::Reverse->new();

    my $parts = $rev->detect($arr_ref1, $arr_ref2); # returns [ Template::Reverser::Part, ... ]

    use Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2;
    my $converter = Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2->new();
    my @templates = $converter->Convert($parts);

    # try this!!
    use Template::Reverse;
    use Data::Dumper;

    my $rev = Template::Reverse->new;

    # generating patterns automatically!!
    my $str1 = ['I',' ','am',' ', 'perl',' ','and',' ','smart']; # White spaces should be explained explicity.
    my $str2 = ['I',' ','am',' ', 'khs' ,' ','and',' ','a',' ','perlmania']; # Use Parse::Lex or Parse::Token::Lite to make it easy.
    my $parts = $rev->detect($str1, $str2);

    my $str3 = "I am king of the world and a richest man";

    # extract with TT2
    use Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2;
    my $tt2 = Template::Reverse::Converter::TT2->new;
    my $templates = $tt2->Convert($parts); # equals to ['I am [% value %] and ',' and [% value %]']

    use Template::Extract;
    my $ext = Template::Extract->new;
    my $value = $ext->extract($templates->[0], $str3);
    print Dumper($value); # output : {'value'=>'king of the world'}

    my $value = $ext->extract($templates->[1], $str3);
    print Dumper($value); # output : {'value'=>'a richest man'}

    # extract with Regexp
    my $regexp_conv = Template::Reverse::Converter::Regexp->new;
    my $regexp_list = $regexp_conv->Convert($parts); 

    my $str3 = "I am king of the world and a richest man";
     
    # extract!!
    foreach my $regexp (@{$regexp_list}){
        if( $str3 =~ /$regexp/ ){
            print $1."\n";
        }
    }

    # When you need to get regexp as string.
    use re regexp_pattern;
    my($pat,$flag) = regexp_pattern( $regexp_list->[0] );
    print $pat; # Regexp generates regexps without flags. So you do not need to use $flag.

DESCRIPTION

Template::Reverse detects different parts between pair of similar text as merged texts from same template. And it can makes an output marked differences, encodes to TT2 format for being use by Template::Extract module.

FUNCTIONS

new(OPTION_HASH_REF)

sidelen=>$max_length_of_each_side

sidelen is a short of "side character's each max length". the default value is 10. Setting 0 means full-length.

If you set it as 3, you get max 3 length pre-text and post-text array each part.

This is needed for more faster performance.

BOF, EOF

Template::Reverse exports BOF(Begin of file) and EOF(End of file). These are needed for more explicit implementation. And you can see them return parts

detect($arr_ref1, $arr_ref2)

Get an array-ref of Template::Reverse::Part from two array-refs which contains text or object implements as_string() method. A Template::Reverse::Part class means an one changable token.

It returns like below.

    $rev->detect([qw(A b C)], [qw(A d C)]);
    # List is converted as below
    #
    # qw(A b C) -> (BOF, qw(A b C), EOF)
    # 
    # [ { [BOF, 'A'],['C', EOF] } ] <- Please focus at data, not expression.
    #   : :........: :..,,,,,.: :     
    #   :     pre       post    :
    #   :.......................:  
    #           Part #1
    #

    $rev->detect([qw(A b C d E)],[qw(A f C g E)]);
    #
    # [ { [BOF, 'A'], ['C'] }, { ['C'], ['E', EOF] } ]
    #   : :........:  :...: :  : :...:  :........: :
    #   :  pre        post  :  :  pre      post    :
    #   :...................:  :...................:
    #          Part #1                Part #2
    #

    $rev->detect([qw(A1 A2 B C1 C2 D E1 E2)],[qw(A1 A2 D C1 C2 F E1 E2)]);
    #
    # [ { [BOF,'A1','A2'],['C2','C2'] }, { ['C1','C2'], ['E2','E2',EOF] } ]
    #

    my $str1 = [qw"I am perl and smart"];
    my $str2 = [qw"I am KHS and a perlmania"];
    my $parts = $rev->detect($str1, $str2);
    #
    # [ { [BOF,'I','am'], ['and'] } , { ['and'],[EOF] } ]
    #   : :............:  :.....: :   :               :
    #   :      pre         post   :   :               :
    #   :.........................:   :...............:
    #              Part #1                  Part #2
    #

    # You can get same result for object arrays.
    my $objs1 = [$obj1, $obj2, $obj3];
    my $objs2 = [$obj1, $obj3];
    #
    # [ { [ BOF,$obj1 ], [ $obj3, EOF ] } ]
    #   : :...........:  :............: :
    #   :      pre            post      :
    #   :...............................:
    #                Part #1

Returned arrayRef is list of detected changing parts.

Actually, the returned value is like below.

    [ 
        {pre=>[BOF, ...], post=>[...]},
        ...
        {pre=>[...], post=>[..., EOF]},
    ]

You can get a changed token if you find just 'pre' and 'post' parts on splited target.
