NAME

App::FileModifyUtils - Utilities related to modifying files

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of App::FileModifyUtils (from Perl distribution App-FileModifyUtils), released on 2021-08-02.

DESCRIPTION

This distribution provides the following command-line utilities:

FUNCTIONS

add_line_to_file

Usage:

 add_line_to_file(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Add line to file.

Uses Setup::File::Line which supports undo, but the undo feature is not used. See App::FileModifyUtils::Undoable for file-modifying CLIs which support undo.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • file* => filename

  • line* => str

  • top_style => bool

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

Return value: (any)

remove_line_from_file

Usage:

 remove_line_from_file(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]

Remove all occurrences of a line from file.

Uses Setup::File::Line which supports undo, but the undo feature is not used. See App::FileModifyUtils::Undoable for file-modifying CLIs which support undo.

This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • case_insensitive => bool

  • file* => filename

  • line* => str

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.
