Ports Search

Given a piece of text and some search terms, produces an object which locates the search terms in the message, extracts a reasonable-length string containing all the search terms, and optionally dumps the string out as HTML text with the search terms highlighted in bold.

This module implements the Brew edit distance that is very close to the dynamic programming technique used for the Wagner-Fischer (and so for the Levenshtein) edit distance.

Text::Decorator is a framework for marking up plain text into various formats by applying a chain of filters. For instance, you might apply a filter which will cause URIs in text to be presented as links if the text is exported as HTML.

This class subclasses Text::Diff::Unified, a formatting class provided by the Text::Diff module, to add XHTML markup to the unified diff format. For details on the interface of the diff() function, see the Text::Diff documentation. In the XHTML formatted by this module, the contents of the diff returned by diff() are wrapped in a <div> element, as is each hunk of the diff. Within each hunk, all content is properly HTML encoded using HTML::Entities, and the various sections of the diff are marked up with the appropriate XHTML elements.

Text::Diff provides a basic set of services akin to the diff(1) utility. It is not anywhere near as feature complete as diff(1), but it is better integrated with Perl and available on all platforms. It is often faster than shelling out to a system's diff(1) executable for small files, and generally slower on larger files. -Anton <tobez@FreeBSD.org>

Text::CSV provides facilities for the composition and decomposition of comma-separated values. An instance of the Text::CSV class can combine fields into a CSV string and parse a CSV string into fields.

To build some applications to arbitrate manipulations under concurrent works, it is necessary to compare three texts line by line. This diff3 code into Perl language has ported from GNU diff3.c widely used.

This module implements a "sounds like" algorithm developed by Lawrence Philips which he published in the June, 2000 issue of C/C++ Users Journal. Double Metaphone is an improved version of Philips' original Metaphone algorithm. -Anton <tobez@FreeBSD.org>

Library to compare files and strings, used in Kompare and KDevelop.

This module implements a single function, tchomp, which will remove all known line separators. The regular chomp() works only on the value in $/, which can be difficult if working in multi-platform environments.
