Package =TWiki::Store::RcsFile

This class is PACKAGE PRIVATE to Store, and should never be used from anywhere else. It is the base class of implementations of stores that manipulate RCS format files.

The general contract of the methods on this class and its subclasses calls for errors to be signalled by Error::Simple exceptions.

Refer to Store.pm for models of usage.

ClassMethod new ($session,$web,$topic,$attachment)

Constructor. There is one object per stored file.

Note that $web, $topic and $attachment must be untainted!

ObjectMethod finish ()

ObjectMethod *getRevisionInfo ($version) -> ($rev,$date,$user,$comment)

• $version if 0 or undef, or out of range (version number > number of revs) will return info about the latest revision.

Returns (rev, date, user, comment) where rev is the number of the rev for which the info was recovered, date is the date of that rev (epoch s), user is the login name of the user who saved that rev, and comment is the comment associated with the rev.

Designed to be overridden by subclasses, which can call up to this method if file-based rev info is required.

ObjectMethod *getLatestRevision () -> $text

Get the text of the most recent revision

ObjectMethod *getLatestRevisionTime () -> $text

Get the time of the most recent revision

ObjectMethod getWorkArea ($key) -> $directorypath

Gets a private directory uniquely identified by $key. The directory is intended as a work area for plugins.

The standard is a directory named the same as "key" under $TWiki::cfg{WorkingDir}/work_areas

ObjectMethod getTopicNames () -> @topics

Get list of all topics in a web

• $web - Web name, required, e.g. 'Sandbox'

ObjectMethod getWebNames () -> @webs

Gets a list of names of subwebs in the current web

ObjectMethod *searchInWebContent ($searchString,$web,\@topics,\%options) -> \%map

Search for a string in the content of a web. The search must be over all content and all formatted meta-data, though the latter search type is deprecated (use searchMetaData instead).

• $searchString - the search string, in egrep format if regex
• $web - The web to search in
• \@topics - reference to a list of topics to search
• \%options - reference to an options hash

• type - if regex will perform a egrep-syntax RE search (default '')
• casesensitive - false to ignore case (defaulkt true)
• files_without_match - true to return files only (default false)

The return value is a reference to a hash which maps each matching topic name to a list of the lines in that topic that matched the search, as would be returned by 'grep'. If files_without_match is specified, it will return on the first match in each topic (i.e. it will return only one match per topic, and will not return matching lines).

ObjectMethod *searchInWebMetaData ($query,\@topics) -> \%matches

Search for a meta-data expression in the content of a web. $query must be a TWiki::Query object.

Returns a reference to a hash that maps the names of topics that all matched to the result of the query expression (e.g. if the query expression is 'TOPICPARENT.name' then you will get back a hash that maps topic names to their parent.

SMELL: this is really inefficient!
