Hi,
I'm looking for something like this. When we use Template Toolkit,
there is a template, a data structure, and the text output by template
engine. Now I want to take the output text and the template, and have
a parser to extract the data structure according to the template.
For example, given the following plaintext (foo.txt):
Hello, Peggy. You have 2 messages:
Liz Re: the program you asked
Alice I GOT IT!!!
And the following template (foo.tpl):
Hello, [% name %]. You have [% messages.length %] messages:
[% FOREACH m=messages %]
[% m.sender_name %] [% m.subject %]
[% END %]
I'd like to do this:
use Parse::Template;
$parse = new Parse::Template;
$parse->process('foo.tpl', 'foo.txt');
# $parser->process returns the data structure:
#
# {
# name=>'Peggy',
# messages=>[
# { sender_name => 'Liz', subject => 'Re: the program you asked' },
# { sender_name => 'Alice', subject => 'I GOT IT!!!' },
# ],
# }
I must have seen a module to do it long time ago (and I was thinking,
"wow, great idea!") But now I can't find it anymore.
Any help?
