XML::LibXML::Text(3)  User Contributed Perl Documentation XML::LibXML::Text(3)

NAME
       XML::LibXML::Text - XML::LibXML Class for Text Nodes

SYNOPSIS
	 $text = XML::LibXML::Text->new( $content );
	 $nodedata = $text->data;
	 $text->setData( $text_content );
	 $text->substringData($offset, $length);
	 $text->appendData( $somedata );
	 $text->insertData($offset, $string);
	 $text->deleteData($offset, $length);
	 $text->deleteDataString($remstring, $all);
	 $text->replaceData($offset, $length, $string);
	 $text->replaceDataString($old, $new, $flag);
	 $text->replaceDataRegEx( $search_cond, $replace_cond, $reflags );

DESCRIPTION
       Different to the DOM specification XML::LibXML implements the text node
       as the base class of all character data node. Therefor there exists no
       CharacterData class. This allow one to use all methods that are avail-
       able for text nodes as well for Comments or CDATA-sections.

       new
	     $text = XML::LibXML::Text->new( $content );

	   The constructor of the class. It creates an unbound text node.

       data
	     $nodedata = $text->data;

	   Although there exists the nodeValue attribute in the Node class,
	   the DOM specification defines data as a separate attribute.
	   XML::LibXML implements these two attributes not as different
	   attributes, but as aliases, such as libxml2 does. Therefore

	      $text->data;

	   and

	      $text->nodeValue;

	   will have the same result and are not different entities.

       setData($string)
	     $text->setData( $text_content );

	   This function sets or replaces text content to a node. The node has
	   to be of the type "text", "cdata" or "comment".

       substringData($offset,$length)
	     $text->substringData($offset, $length);

	   Extracts a range of data from the node. (DOM Spec) This function
	   takes the two parameters $offset and $length and returns the
	   sub-string, if available.

	   If the node contains no data or $offset refers to an non-existing
	   string index, this function will return undef. If $length is out of
	   range substringData will return the data starting at $offset
	   instead of causing an error.

       appendData($string)
	     $text->appendData( $somedata );

	   Appends a string to the end of the existing data. If the current
	   text node contains no data, this function has the same effect as
	   setData.

       insertData($offset,$string)
	     $text->insertData($offset, $string);

	   Inserts the parameter $string at the given $offset of the existing
	   data of the node. This operation will not remove existing data, but
	   change the order of the existing data.

	   The $offset has to be a positive value. If $offset is out of range,
	   insertData will have the same behaviour as appendData.

       deleteData($offset, $length)
	     $text->deleteData($offset, $length);

	   This method removes a chunk from the existing node data at the
	   given offset.  The $length parameter tells, how many characters
	   should be removed from the string.

       deleteDataString($string, [$all])
	     $text->deleteDataString($remstring, $all);

	   This method removes a chunk from the existing node data. Since the
	   DOM spec is quite unhandy if you already know which string to
	   remove from a text node, this method allows more perlish code :)

	   The functions takes two parameters: $string and optional the $all
	   flag. If $all is not set, undef or 0, deleteDataString will remove
	   only the first occurrence of $string. If $all is TRUE deleteDataS-
	   tring will remove all occurrences of $string from the node data.

       replaceData($offset, $length, $string)
	     $text->replaceData($offset, $length, $string);

	   The DOM style version to replace node data.

       replaceDataString($oldstring, $newstring, [$all])
	     $text->replaceDataString($old, $new, $flag);

	   The more programmer friendly version of replaceData() :)

	   Instead of giving offsets and length one can specify the exact
	   string ($oldstring) to be replaced. Additionally the $all flag
	   allows to replace all occurrences of $oldstring.

       replaceDataRegEx( $search_cond, $replace_cond, $reflags )
	     $text->replaceDataRegEx( $search_cond, $replace_cond, $reflags );

	   This method replaces the node's data by a simple regular expres-
	   sion. Optional, this function allows to pass some flags that will
	   be added as flag to the replace statement.

	   NOTE: This is a shortcut for

	      my $datastr = $node->getData();
	      $datastr =~ s/somecond/replacement/g; # 'g' is just an example for any flag
	      $node->setData( $datastr );

	   This function can make things easier to read for simple replace-
	   ments. For more complex variants it is recommended to use the code
	   snippet above.
