NAME Text::Scrub - used to wild card out text used for comparison SYNOPSIS ######### # Subroutine Interface # use Text::Scrub qw(scrub_date scrub_date_ticket scrub_date_version scrub_file_line scrub_probe scrub_test_file); $scrubbed_text = scrub_date($script_text) $scrubbed_text = scrub_date_ticket($script_text) $scrubbed_text = scrub_date_version($script_text) $scrubbed_text = scrub_file_line($script_text) $scrubbed_text = scrub_probe($script_text) $scrubbed_text = scrub_test_file($script_text) ######### # Class Interface # use Text::Scrub $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date($script_text) $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text) $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text) $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text) $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_probe($script_text) $scrubbed_text = Text::Scrub->scrub_test_file($script_text) DESCRIPTION The methods in the "Test::STD:Scrub" package are designed to support the "Test::STDmaker" and the "ExtUtils::SVDmaker" package. This is the focus and no other focus. Since "Test::STD::Scrub" is a separate package, the methods may be used elsewhere. They are used to wild card out parts of two documents before they are compared by making these snippets the same. In all likehood, any revisions will maintain backwards compatibility with previous revisions. However, support and the performance of the "Test::STDmaker" and "ExtUtils::SVDmaker" packages has priority over backwards compatibility. scrub_date_ticket $scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_ticket($script_text) When comparing the contents of email messages, the date and email ticket should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_date_ticket* method will replace the date and email ticket with a generic value. Applying the *scrub_date_ticket* to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the data and ticket as factors in the comparision. scrub_date_version $scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_date_version($script_text) When comparing the contents of two Perl program modules, the date and version should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_date_ticket* method will replace the date and version with a generic value. Applying the *scrub_date_ticket* to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the date and version as factors in the comparision. scrub_file_line $scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_file_line($script_text) When comparing the ouput of *Test* module the file and line number should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_file_line* method will replace the file and line with a generic value. Applying the *scrub_file_line* to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the file and line as factors in the comparision. scrub_test_file $scrubbed_text = Test::STD::Scrub->scrub_test_file($script_text) When comparing the ouput of *Test:Harness* module the test file should not be used in the comparision. The *scrub_test_file* method will replace the test file with a generic value. Applying the *scrub_test_file* to the contents of both files before the comparision will eliminate the test file as a factor in the comparision. REQUIREMENTS Someday.

The "tmake.pl" cover script for Test::STDmaker automatically generated the "Scrub.t" test script, "Scrub.d" demo script, and "t::Text::Scrub" program module POD, from the "t::Text::Scrub" program module contents. The "tmake.pl" cover script automatically ran the "Scrub.d" demo script and inserted the results into the 'DEMONSTRATION' section above. The "t::Text::Scrub" program module is in the distribution file Text-Scrub-$VERSION.tar.gz.

Revision: E Version: 0.06 Date: 2004/05/10 Prepared for: General Public Prepared by: SoftwareDiamonds.com Esupport@SoftwareDiamonds.comE Copyright: copyright © 2003 Software Diamonds Classification: NONE 1.0 SCOPE This paragraph identifies and provides an overview of the released files. 1.1 Identification This release, identified in 3.2, is a collection of Perl modules that extend the capabilities of the Perl language. 1.2 System overview The "Text::Scrub" module extends the Perl language (the system). When comparing text there are small snippets such as version numbers and dates that should be wild carded out and not influence the comparisions. The Test::STD:Scrub module replaces these small snippets with invariant snippet. By replacing the same part of each file with the same invariant snippet, those small sections of text are effectively wild carded for the comparisions. When performing tests, the ability to wild card small snippets of text is vital in making accurate comparison. The same capability is also essential for version control in comparing two pieces of software to see if there are significant changes. 1.3 Document overview.

I would recommend renaming them to something closer to your other modules, maybe "Test::SVDMaker::Util" and "Test::SVDMaker::Tech", as some routines do not seem to be specific to the Test::-suite but rather general (format_array_table). Some parts (the "scrub" routines) might even better live in another module namespace, "Test::Util::ScrubData" or something like that. Broke away the "scrub" routines from Test::TestUtil created this module Test::STD::Scrub. new methods Added the scrub_data and scrub_probe methods Test-STD-Scrub-0.02 Use the new modules from the break-up of the "File::FileUtil" module Text-Scrub-0.01 Moved to a more appropriate library location. Text-Scrub-0.02 Change the test so that test support program modules resides in distribution directory tlib directory instead of the lib directory. Because they are no longer in the lib directory, test support files will not be installed as a pre-condition for the test of this module. The test of this module will precede immediately. The test support files in the tlib directory will vanish after the installtion. Text-Scrub-0.03 Recreate distribution file with Archive::TarGzip 0.02 that uses mode 777 for directories instead of 666. Started to get emails from Unix installers about untar not being able to change to a directory with mode of 666. Text-Scrub-0.04 Changes the 'stringify' module for 'Test-Tech' from 'Data::Strify' to 'Data::Secs2'. Text-Scrub-0.05 The lastest build of Test::STDmaker expects the test library in the same directory as the test script. Coordiated with the lastest Test::STDmaker by moving the test library from tlib to t/Text, the same directory as the test script and deleting the test library File::TestPath program module. Added "SEE ALSO" section. Reworked QUALITY ASSURANCE and NOTES sections. 3.4 Adaptation data. This installation requires that the installation site has the Perl programming language installed.
