API
new()
You will almost never have to create a new NodeSet object,
as it is all done for you by XPath.
get_nodelist()
Returns a list of nodes, the contents of the node list, as
a perl list.
string_value()
Returns the string-value of the first node in the list.
See the XPath specification for what "string-value" means.
to_literal()
Returns the concatenation of all the string-values of all
the nodes in the list.
get_node($pos)
Returns the node at $pos. The node position in XPath is
based at 1, not 0.
size()
Returns the number of nodes in the NodeSet.
pop()
Equivalent to perl's pop function.
push(@nodes)
Equivalent to perl's push function.
append($nodelist)
Given a nodelist, appends the list of nodes in $nodelist
to the end of the current list.
shift()
Equivalent to perl's shift function.
unshift(@nodes)
Equivalent to perl's unshift function.
prepend($nodeset)
Given a nodelist, prepends the list of nodes in $nodelist
to the front of the current list.
iterator()
- Will return a new nodelist iterator for the current
nodelist. A nodelist iterator is usefull if more complex
nodelist processing is needed.
