FUNCTIONS linerange Usage: linerange(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta] Retrieve line ranges from a filehandle. Examples: * Get lines 1-10: linerange(spec => "1-10"); * Get lines 1 to 10, .. is synonym for -: linerange(spec => "1 .. 10"); * Get lines 1-10 as well as 21-30: linerange(spec => "1-10, 21 - 30"); * You can specify negative number, get the 5th line until 2nd last: linerange(spec => "5 .. -2"); * You can specify negative number, get the 10th last until last: linerange(spec => "-10 .. -1"); The routine performs a single pass on the filehandle, retrieving specified line ranges. This function is not exported by default, but exportable. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * fh* => *filehandle* * spec* => *str* Line range specification. A comma-separated list of line numbers ("N") or line ranges ("N1..N2" or "N1-N2", or "N1+M" which means N2 is set to N1+M-1), where N, N1, and N2 are line number specification. Line number begins at 1; it can also be a negative integer (-1 means the last line, -2 means second last, and so on). N1..N2 is the same as N2..N1. Examples: * 3 (third line) * 1..5 (first to fifth line) * 3+0 (third line) * 3+1 (third to fourth line) * -3+1 (third last to fourth last) * 5..1 (first to fifth line) * -5..-1 (fifth last to last line) * -1..-5 (fifth last to last line) * 5..-3 (fifth line to third last) * -3..5 (fifth line to third last) Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) HOMEPAGE Please visit the project's homepage at .
