NAME

File::PatternMatch - parse media information from filenames

SYNOPSIS

use File::PatternMatch;

my @files = glob("$ENV{HOME}/music/*");

my $plain = patternmatch(@files);

my $extended_colors = patternmatch(256, @files);

DESCRIPTION

File::PatternMatch takes a list of filenames and tries to parse relevant information from them. If a filename contains the string 'S01E01' we can safely assume it's a new TV show, the first episode from the first season, and thus we label it 'New Show'.

There are filters for various music genres, tv shows and music videos.

The labels can be formatted in three ways (output formats):

plaintext

Raw, plain text.

colored

Colored using extended escape sequences (see Term::ExtendedColor).

dzen2

Formatted using the dzen2(1) notation.

EXPORTS

patternmatch()

Parameters: $output_format, @files

Returns: \%results

patternmatch() takes a list of filenames and tries to match them aginst specific patterns. The result might look like:

# Plain text
2 => {
  'Prison.Break.S01E01-FOOBAR'  => 'New Show',
},
42 => {
  'Laleh-Prinsessor-FOOBAZ'     => 'Pop/Rock',
},

# Using extended color escape sequences
2 => {
  'Prison.Break.S01E01-FOOBAR'  => "\e[38;5;160mNew Show\e[0m",
},

# Using dzen2 format
2 => {
  'Prison.Break.S01E01-FOOBAR'  => '^fg(#ff0000)New Show^fg()',
},
