Boulder::String.3pm

NAME

Boulder::String - Read and write tag/value data from a string.

SYNOPSIS

    #!/bin/perl
    # Read a B<Stone> from stdin and create a string that can be 
    # passed to a dumb sub, which doesn't know about Stones.
    use Boulder::Stream;
    use Boulder::String;
    
    my $stream = Boulder::Stream->newFh;
    
    # read a stone from stdin
    my $record = <$stream> );
 
       print $stream $record;
     }
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Boulder::String provides access to Boulder IO hierarchical tag/value data. Stone objects printed to the tied string are appended to the string in Boulder format.

Boulder::Stream METHODS

$stream = Boulder::Stream->new($in_string,\$out_string);

The new() method creates a new Boulder::String object. You must provide an input string and a reference to an output string. The input string may be empty.

$stream->write_record($stone)

Write the passed stone in Boulder IO format into $out_string.
