NAMEIO::ScalarArray − IO:: interface for reading/writing an array of scalars
SYNOPSISPerform I/O on strings, using the basic OO interface... use IO::ScalarArray;
@data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");
### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
$AH−>print("Hello");
$AH−>print(", world!\nBye now!\n");
print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";
### Open a handle on an array, read it line−by−line, then close it:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
while (defined($_ = $AH−>getline)) {
print "Got line: $_";
}
$AH−>close;
### Open a handle on an array, and slurp in all the lines:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
print "All lines:\n", $AH−>getlines;
### Get the current position (either of two ways):
$pos = $AH−>getpos;
$offset = $AH−>tell;
### Set the current position (either of two ways):
$AH−>setpos($pos);
$AH−>seek($offset, 0);
### Open an anonymous temporary array:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
$AH−>print("Hi there!");
print "I printed: ", @{$AH−>aref}, "\n"; ### get at value
Don't like OO for your I/O? No problem. Thanks to the magic of an invisible tie(), the following now works out of the box, just as it does with IO::Handle: use IO::ScalarArray;
@data = ("My mes", "sage:\n");
### Open a handle on an array, and append to it:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
print $AH "Hello";
print $AH ", world!\nBye now!\n";
print "The array is now: ", @data, "\n";
### Open a handle on a string, read it line−by−line, then close it:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
while (<$AH>) {
print "Got line: $_";
}
close $AH;
### Open a handle on a string, and slurp in all the lines:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@data;
print "All lines:\n", <$AH>;
### Get the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
$offset = tell $AH;
### Set the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
seek $AH, $offset, 0;
### Open an anonymous temporary scalar:
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray;
print $AH "Hi there!";
print "I printed: ", @{$AH−>aref}, "\n"; ### get at value
And for you folks with 1.x code out there: the old tie() style still works, though this is unnecessary and deprecated: use IO::ScalarArray;
### Writing to a scalar...
my @a;
tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray', \@a;
print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
print "Array is now: ", @a, "\n"
### Reading and writing an anonymous scalar...
tie *OUT, 'IO::ScalarArray';
print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
tied(OUT)−>seek(0,0);
while (<OUT>) {
print "Got line: ", $_;
}
DESCRIPTIONThis class is part of the IO::Stringy distribution; see IO::Stringy for change log and general information. The IO::ScalarArray class implements objects which behave just like IO::Handle (or FileHandle) objects, except that you may use them to write to (or read from) arrays of scalars. Logically, an array of scalars defines an in-core ‟file” whose contents are the concatenation of the scalars in the array. The handles created by this class are automatically tiehandle'd (though please see ‟WARNINGS” for information relevant to your Perl version). For writing large amounts of data with individual print() statements, this class is likely to be more efficient than IO::Scalar. Basically, this: my @a;
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
$AH−>print("Hel", "lo, "); ### OO style
$AH−>print("world!\n"); ### ditto
Or this: my @a;
$AH = new IO::ScalarArray \@a;
print $AH "Hel", "lo, "; ### non−OO style
print $AH "world!\n"; ### ditto
Causes @a to be set to the following array of 3 strings: ( "Hel" ,
"lo, " ,
"world!\n" )
See IO::Scalar and compare with this class.
PUBLIC INTERFACE
Constructionnew [ARGS...] Class method. Return a new, unattached array handle. If any arguments are given, they're sent to open(). open [ARRAYREF] Instance method. Open the array handle on a new array, pointed to by ARRAYREF. If no ARRAYREF is given, a ‟private” array is created to hold the file data. Returns the self object on success, undefined on error. opened Instance method. Is the array handle opened on something? close Instance method. Disassociate the array handle from its underlying array. Done automatically on destroy.
Input and outputflush Instance method. No-op, provided for OO compatibility. fileno Instance method. No-op, returns undef getc Instance method. Return the next character, or undef if none remain. This does a read (1), which is somewhat costly. getline Instance method. Return the next line, or undef on end of data. Can safely be called in an array context. Currently, lines are delimited by ‟\n”. getlines Instance method. Get all remaining lines. It will croak() if accidentally called in a scalar context. print ARGS... Instance method. Print ARGS to the underlying array. Currently, this always causes a ‟seek to the end of the array” and generates a new array entry. This may change in the future. read BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET]; Instance method. Read some bytes from the array. Returns the number of bytes actually read, 0 on end-of-file, undef on error. write BUF, NBYTES, [OFFSET]; Instance method. Write some bytes into the array.
Seeking/telling and other attributesautoflush Instance method. No-op, provided for OO compatibility. binmode Instance method. No-op, provided for OO compatibility. clearerr Instance method. Clear the error and EOF flags. A no-op. eof Instance method. Are we at end of file? seek POS,WHENCE Instance method. Seek to a given position in the stream. Only a WHENCE of 0 (SEEK_SET) is supported. tell Instance method. Return the current position in the stream, as a numeric offset. setpos POS Instance method. Seek to a given position in the array, using the opaque getpos() value. Don't expect this to be a number. getpos Instance method. Return the current position in the array, as an opaque value. Don't expect this to be a number. aref Instance method. Return a reference to the underlying array.
WARNINGSPerl's TIEHANDLE spec was incomplete prior to 5.005_57; it was missing support for seek(), tell(), and eof(). Attempting to use these functions with an IO::ScalarArray will not work prior to 5.005_57. IO::ScalarArray will not have the relevant methods invoked; and even worse, this kind of bug can lie dormant for a while. If you turn warnings on (via $^W or perl −w), and you see something like this... attempt to seek on unopened filehandle
...then you are probably trying to use one of these functions on an IO::ScalarArray with an old Perl. The remedy is to simply use the OO version; e.g.: $AH−>seek(0,0); ### GOOD: will work on any 5.005
seek($AH,0,0); ### WARNING: will only work on 5.005_57 and beyond
