new(arg, respect_whitespace=false, parent=nil, raw=nil, entity_filter=nil, illegal=NEEDS_A_SECOND_CHECK ) click to toggle source

Constructor arg if a String, the content is set to the String. If a Text, the object is shallowly cloned.

respect_whitespace (boolean, false) if true, whitespace is respected

parent (nil) if this is a Parent object, the parent will be set to this.

raw (nil) This argument can be given three values. If true, then the value of used to construct this object is expected to contain no unescaped XML markup, and REXML will not change the text. If this value is false, the string may contain any characters, and REXML will escape any and all defined entities whose values are contained in the text. If this value is nil (the default), then the raw value of the parent will be used as the raw value for this node. If there is no raw value for the parent, and no value is supplied, the default is false. Use this field if you have entities defined for some text, and you don't want REXML to escape that text in output.

Text.new( "<&", false, nil, false ) #-> "&lt;&amp;"
Text.new( "&lt;&amp;", false, nil, false ) #-> "&amp;lt;&amp;amp;"
Text.new( "<&", false, nil, true )  #-> Parse exception
Text.new( "&lt;&amp;", false, nil, true )  #-> "&lt;&amp;"
# Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean"
# and that the entity    "r" is defined to be "russell"
Text.new( "sean russell" )          #-> "&s; &r;"
Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true ) #-> "sean russell"

entity_filter (nil) This can be an array of entities to match in the supplied text. This argument is only useful if raw is set to false.

Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, false, ["s"] ) #-> "&s; russell"
Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true, ["s"] ) #-> "sean russell"

In the last example, the entity_filter argument is ignored.

Public Instance Methods

<<( to_append ) click to toggle source

Appends text to this text node. The text is appended in the raw mode of this text node.

returns the text itself to enable method chain like 'text << “XXX” << “YYY”'.

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 194
def <<( to_append )
  @string << to_append.gsub( /\r\n?/, "\n" )
  clear_cache
  self
end

<=>( other ) click to toggle source

other a String or a Text returns the result of (to_s <=> arg.to_s)

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 203
def <=>( other )
  to_s() <=> other.to_s
end

clone() click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 184
def clone
  return Text.new(self, true)
end

doctype() click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 207
def doctype
  if @parent
    doc = @parent.document
    doc.doctype if doc
  end
end

empty?() click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 179
def empty?
  @string.size==0
end

indent_text(string, level=1, style="\t", indentfirstline=true) click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 278
def indent_text(string, level=1, style="\t", indentfirstline=true)

inspect() click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 233
def inspect
  @string.inspect
end

node_type() click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 175

end

parent=(parent) click to toggle source

def parent= parent
  super(parent)
  Text.check(@string, NEEDS_A_SECOND_CHECK, doctype) if @raw and @parent
end

to_s() click to toggle source

Returns the string value of this text node. This string is always escaped, meaning that it is a valid XML text node string, and all entities that can be escaped, have been inserted. This method respects the entity filter set in the constructor.

# Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean", and that the
# entity "r" is defined to be "russell"
t = Text.new( "< & sean russell", false, nil, false, ['s'] )
t.to_s   #-> "&lt; &amp; &s; russell"
t = Text.new( "< & &s; russell", false, nil, false )
t.to_s   #-> "&lt; &amp; &s; russell"
u = Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true )
u.to_s   #-> "sean russell"

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 228
def to_s
  return @string if @raw
  @normalized ||= Text::normalize( @string, doctype, @entity_filter )
end

value() click to toggle source

Returns the string value of this text. This is the text without entities, as it might be used programmatically, or printed to the console. This ignores the 'raw' attribute setting, and any entity_filter.

# Assume that the entity "s" is defined to be "sean", and that the
# entity "r" is defined to be "russell"
t = Text.new( "< & sean russell", false, nil, false, ['s'] )
t.value   #-> "< & sean russell"
t = Text.new( "< & &s; russell", false, nil, false )
t.value   #-> "< & sean russell"
u = Text.new( "sean russell", false, nil, true )
u.value   #-> "sean russell"

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 250
def value
  @unnormalized ||= Text::unnormalize( @string, doctype )
end

value=( val ) click to toggle source

Sets the contents of this text node. This expects the text to be unnormalized. It returns self.

e = Element.new( "a" )
e.add_text( "foo" )   # <a>foo</a>
e[0].value = "bar"    # <a>bar</a>
e[0].value = "<a>"    # <a>&lt;a&gt;</a>

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 261
def value=( val )
  @string = val.gsub( /\r\n?/, "\n" )
  clear_cache
  @raw = false
end

wrap(string, width, addnewline=false) click to toggle source

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 267
def wrap(string, width, addnewline=false)
  # Recursively wrap string at width.
  return string if string.length <= width
  place = string.rindex(' ', width) # Position in string with last ' ' before cutoff
  if addnewline then
    return "\n" + string[0,place] + "\n" + wrap(string[place+1..-1], width)
  else
    return string[0,place] + "\n" + wrap(string[place+1..-1], width)
  end
end

write_with_substitution(out, input) click to toggle source

Writes out text, substituting special characters beforehand. out A String, IO, or any other object supporting <<( String ) input the text to substitute and the write out

z=utf8.unpack("U*")
ascOut=""
z.each{|r|
  if r <  0x100
    ascOut.concat(r.chr)
  else
    ascOut.concat(sprintf("&#x%x;", r))
  end
}
puts ascOut

 
               # File rexml/text.rb, line 325
def write_with_substitution out, input
  copy = input.clone
  # Doing it like this rather than in a loop improves the speed
  copy.gsub!( SPECIALS[0], SUBSTITUTES[0] )
  copy.gsub!( SPECIALS[1], SUBSTITUTES[1] )
  copy.gsub!( SPECIALS[2], SUBSTITUTES[2] )
  copy.gsub!( SPECIALS[3], SUBSTITUTES[3] )
