NAME

STAR::Filter - Perl extension for filtering DataBlock objects

Version

This documentation refers to version 0.01 of this module.

SYNOPSIS

   use STAR::Filter;
 
 

DESCRIPTION

Contains the filter object for filtering DataBlock objects. DataBlock objects are created by Parser and modified by DataBlock.

CLASS METHODS

filter_dict

   Usage:  $filtered_dict = STAR::Filter->filter_dict(
                              -dict=>$dict,
                              -options=>$options);
 
 

A (very simplistic) interactive method for filtering a STAR::Dictionary object (.cob file). The user is prompted for each category whether to include (retain) it in the filtered object. The method returns a reference to the filtered (reduced) STAR::Dictionary object.

Note: This method is preliminary and subject to change.

filter_through_dict

   Usage:  $filtered_data = STAR::Filter->filter_through_dict(
                              -data=>$data,
                              -dict=>$dict,
                              -options=>$options);
 
 

Filters an STAR::DataBlock object through a STAR::Dictionary object. Returns a reference to a new STAR::DataBlock object in which only those items are included which were defined in the specified dictionary.
