SYNOPSIS


use AnyData;
my $table = adHash( 'Paragraph', $filename,'r',$flags );
while (my $row = each %$table) {
print $row->{name},"\n" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
}
# ... other tied hash operations
OR
use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
$dbh->func('table1','Paragraph', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations

DESCRIPTION

This is a plug-in format parser for the AnyData and DBD::AnyData modules.

It handles ``vertical'' files in which the record name occurs on a line by itself followed by records on lines by themselves, e.g.

 Photoslop
 /My Photos/
 .jpg, .gif, .psd
 Nutscrape
 /htdocs/
 .html, .htm

Please refer to the documentation for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for further details.
