METHODS

This package provides the following methods:

captures

  captures() (ArrayRef)

The captures method returns the capture groups from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation. This method can return a list of values in list-context.

Since 0.01

captures example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $captures = $replace->captures;

  # ["world"]

count

  count() (Num)

The count method returns the number of match occurrences from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation.

Since 0.01

count example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $count = $replace->count;

  # 1

evaluate

  evaluate() (ArrayRef)

The evaluate method performs the regular expression operation and returns an arrayref representation of the results.

Since 0.01

evaluate example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $evaluate = $replace->evaluate;

  # [
  #   "(world)",
  #   "hello universe",
  #   1,
  #   [6, 6],
  #   [11, 11],
  #   {},
  #   "hello world",
  # ]

evaluate example 2

  package main;

  use Venus::Replace;

  my $replace = Venus::Replace->new(
    string => 'hello world',
    regexp => 'world)(',
    substr => 'universe',
  );

  my $evaluate = $replace->evaluate;

  # Exception! Venus::Replace::Error (isa Venus::Error)

explain

  explain() (Str)

The explain method returns the subject of the regular expression operation and is used in stringification operations.

Since 0.01

explain example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $explain = $replace->explain;

  # "hello universe"

get

  get() (Str)

The get method returns the subject of the regular expression operation.

Since 0.01

get example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $get = $replace->get;

initial

  initial() (Str)

The initial method returns the unaltered string from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation.

Since 0.01

initial example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $initial = $replace->initial;

  # "hello world"

last_match_end

  last_match_end() (Maybe[ArrayRef[Int]])

The last_match_end method returns an array of offset positions into the string where the capture(s) stopped matching from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation.

Since 0.01

last_match_end example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $last_match_end = $replace->last_match_end;

  # [11, 11]

last_match_start

  last_match_start() (Maybe[ArrayRef[Int]])

Since 0.01

last_match_start example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $last_match_start = $replace->last_match_start;

  # [6, 6]

matched

  matched() (Maybe[Str])

The matched method returns the portion of the string that matched from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation.

Since 0.01

matched example 1

  # given: synopsis;

  my $matched = $replace->matched;

  # "world"

named_captures

  named_captures() (HashRef)

The named_captures method returns a hash containing the requested named regular expressions and captured string pairs from the result object which contains information about the results of the regular expression operation.

  my $named_captures = $replace->named_captures;

  # {}

named_captures example 2

  package main;

  use Venus::Replace;

  my $replace = Venus::Replace->new(

  my $postmatched = $replace->postmatched;

  # ""

prematched

  prematched() (Maybe[Str)
