STAG-FILTER(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation STAG-FILTER(1)

stag-filter - filters a stag file (xml, itext, sxpr) for nodes of interest

  stag-filter person -q name=fred file1.xml

  stag-filter person 'sub {shift->get_name =~ /^A*/}' file1.xml

  stag-filter -p My::Foo -w sxpr record 'sub{..}' file2

  stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER] NODE -q tag=val FILE

  stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER] NODE SUB FILE

  stag-filter [-p|parser PARSER] [-w|writer WRITER]  NODE -f PERLFILE FILE

parsers an input file using the specified parser (which may be a built in stag parser, such as xml) and filters the resulting stag tree according to a user-supplied subroutine, writing out only the nodes/elements that pass the test.

the parser is event based, so it should be able to handle large files (although if the node you parse is large, it will take up more memory)

-p|parser FORMAT
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module

xml assumed as default

-w|writer FORMAT
FORMAT is one of xml, sxpr or itext, or the name of a perl module
-c|count
prints the number of nodes that pass the test
-filterfile|f
a file containing a perl subroutine (in place of the SUB argument)
-q|query TAG1=VAL1 -q|query TAG2=VAL2 ... -q|query TAGN=VALN
filters based on the field TAG

other operators can be used too - eg <, <=, etc

multiple q arguments can be passed in

for more complex operations, pass in your own subroutine, see below

SUB
a perl subroutine. this subroutine is evaluated evry time NODE is encountered - the stag object for NODE is passed into the subroutine.

if the subroutine passes, the node will be passed to the writer for display

NODE
the name of the node/element we are filtering on
FILE
the file to be parser. If no parser option is supplied, this is assumed to a be a stag compatible syntax (xml, sxpr or itext); otherwise you should parse in a parser name or a parser module that throws stag events
