face. (Version: 0.10)

SYNOPSIS

use OLE::Storage_Lite;

DESCRIPTION

OLE::Storage_Lite allows you to read and write an OLE
structured file. Please refer OLE::Storage by Martin
Schwartz.

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS is a class representing PPS.
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root, OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File
and OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir are subclasses of
OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS.

new

$oOle = OLE::Storage_Lite->new($sFile);

Constructor. Creates a OLE::Storage_Lite object for
$sFile. $sFile must be a correct file name.

From 0.06, $sFile may be a scalar reference of file con
tents (ex. Buff)
and IO::Handle object (including IO::File etc).
getPpsTree
$oPpsRoot = oOle->getPpsTree([$bData]);
returns PPS as OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root object. Other
PPS objects will be included as its children. if $bData
is true, the objects will have data in the file.
getPpsSearch
$oPpsRoot = oOle->getPpsTree($raName [, $bData][, $iCase] );
returns PPSs as OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS objects that has
the name specified in $raName array. if $bData is true, the objects will have data in the file. if $iCase is
true, search with case insensitive.
getNthPps
$oPpsRoot = oOle->getNthPps($iNth [, $bData]);
returns PPS as OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS object specified
number($iNth). if $bData is true, the objects will have data in the file.
Asc2Ucs
$sUcs2 = OLE::Storage_Lite::Asc2Ucs($sAsc);
Utility function. Just adding 0x00 afeter every charac
ters in $sAsc.
Ucs2Asc
$sAsc = OLE::Storage_Lite::Ucs2Asc($sUcs2);
Utility function. Just deletes 0x00 afeter words in
$sUcs.

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS has these properties:

No order number in saving.

Name
its name in UCS2 (a.k.a Unicode).
Type
its type (1:Dir, 2:File (Data), 5: Root)
PrevPps
previous pps (as No)
NextPps
next pps (as No)
DirPps
dir pps (as No).
Time1st
timestamp1st in array ref as similar fomat of local
time.
Time2nd
timestamp2nd in array ref as similar fomat of local
time.
StartBlock
start block number
Size
size of the pps
Data
its data
Child
its child PPSs in array ref

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root has 2 methods.

new

$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Root->new(
$raTime1st,
$raTime2nd,
$raChild);
Constructor.
$raTime1st, $raTime2nd is a array ref as ($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iHSec). $iSec means sec
onds, $iMin means minutes. $iHour means hours. $iDay
means day. $iMon is month -1. $iYear is year - 1900.
$iHSec is seconds/10,000,000 in Math::BigInt.
$raChild is a array ref of children PPSs.
save
$oRoot = $o<oRoot>->save(
$sFile,
$bNoAs);
Saves infomations into $sFile. $sFile is '-', this will use STDOUT.
From 0.06, $sFile may be a scalar reference of file con
tents (ex. Buff)
and IO::Handle object (including IO::File etc).
if $bNoAs is defined, this function will use the No of
PPSs for saving order. if $bNoAs is undefined, this will
calculate PPS saving order.

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir has 1 method.

new

$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::Dir->new(
$sName
[, $raTime1st]
[, $raTime2nd]
[, $raChild]);
Constructor.
$sName is a name of the PPS.
$raTime1st, $raTime2nd is a array ref as ($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iHSec). $iSec means sec
onds, $iMin means minutes. $iHour means hours. $iDay
means day. $iMon is month -1. $iYear is year - 1900.
$iHSec is seconds/10,000,000 in Math::BigInt.
$raChild is a array ref of children PPSs.

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File

OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File has 3 method.

new

$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File->new($sName, $sData);

$sName is name of the PPS.

$sData is data of the PPS.

newFile

$oRoot = OLE::Storage_Lite::PPS::File->newFile($sName, $sFile);

This function makes to use file handle for geting and
storing data.

$sName is name of the PPS.

If $sFile is scalar, it assumes that is a filename. If
$sFile is an IO::Handle object, it uses that specified
handle. If $sFile is undef or '', it uses temporary file.

CAUTION: Take care $sFile will be updated by append method. So if you want to use IO::Handle and append a
data to it, you should open the handle with "r+".

append

$oRoot = $oPps->append($sData);

appends specified data to that PPS.

$sData is appending data for that PPS.

CAUTION

A saved file with VBA (a.k.a Macros) by this module will
not work correctly. However modules can get the same
information from the file, the file occurs a error in
application(Word, Excel ...).
