Text::Modify 
                         ==================

NAME

Text::Modify - interface for simple (and oo-style) text-file manipulation Text::Buffer - simple text buffer that supports basic edit functionality

DESCRIPTION

Text::Modify uses rules to process a buffer of textlines. Text::Buffer is used for the required editing functionalities for the text to process.

        A set of simple rules is used with some advanced functionality, which
        should suit the most common use cases of text file modification tasks.

TODO / WISHLIST

Some ideas for improvements are:

• Allow wildcard search and replaces
• Better seperation of string and regex search and replaces (suggested by Terence Brannon)

  e.g. $txt->replace( string => "foo", with => "bar")

• Using buffer and stringops like in emacs (suggested by Terence Brannon)
