 | Chapter 5 PL/Vision Package Specifications |  |
The PLVlex (PL/Vision LEXical analysis) package provides generic string-parsing extensions to PL/SQL; these extensions include an awareness of the syntax and delimiters of the PL/SQL language. See the companion disk for details.
FUNCTION is_delimiter (character_in IN VARCHAR2, exclude_in IN VARCHAR2 := NULL) RETURN BOOLEAN;Returns TRUE if the string is a PL/SQL delimiter.
FUNCTION is_oneline_comment (token_in IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN;Returns TRUE if the string is a single-line comment indicator (a double hyphen).
FUNCTION starts_multiline_comment (token_in IN VARCHAR2)RETURN BOOLEAN;Returns TRUE if the string is equal to /*, which signals the start of a multiline or block comment.
FUNCTION ends_multiline_comment (token_in IN VARCHAR2)RETURN BOOLEAN;Returns TRUE if the string is equal to */, which signals the end of a multiline or block comment.
FUNCTION next_atom_loc (string_in IN VARCHAR2, start_loc_in IN NUMBER)RETURN NUMBER;Returns the location of the beginning of the next PL/SQL atomic in the string.
PROCEDURE get_next_atomic (line_in IN VARCHAR2, start_pos_in IN VARCHAR2, atomic_out OUT VARCHAR2, new_start_pos_out OUT INTEGER, line_len_in IN INTEGER := NULL);Gets the next PL/SQL atomic from the string. This procedure builds upon PLVlex.next_atom_loc and several low-level PLVprs functions to scan the string from the perspective of a line of PL/SQL source code.
PROCEDURE get_next_token (line_in IN VARCHAR2, start_pos_in IN VARCHAR2, token_out IN OUT VARCHAR2, new_start_pos_out IN OUT INTEGER, skip_spaces_in IN BOOLEAN, line_len_in IN INTEGER := NULL, full_qualified_name_in IN BOOLEAN := FALSE);Gets the next PL/SQL token (which could be composed of multiple atomics) from the string.
