IO::CatHandle::AutoLines - Get IO::CatHandle's current handle's line number
SYNOPSIS
use IO::CatHandle::AutoLines;
'some' .IO.spurt: "a\nb\nc";
'files' .IO.spurt: "d\ne\nf";
'to-read'.IO.spurt: "g\nh";
my $kitty = IO::CatHandle.new(<some files to-read>, :on-switch{
say "Meow!"
}) does IO::CatHandle::AutoLines;
say "$kitty.ln(): $_" for $kitty.lines;
# OUTPUT:
# Meow!
# 1: a

DESCRIPTION
A role that adds an <C.ln> method to the IO::CatHandle type that will contain the current line number. Optionally, the lines counter can be reset when next source handle get switched into.
Note: only the .lines and .get methods are overriden to increment the line counter. Using any other methods to read data will not increment the line counter.
EXPORTED TYPES
role IO::CatHandle::AutoLines
Defined as:
role IO::CatHandle::AutoLines[Bool:D :$reset = True]
Provides an .ln
method containing Int:D
of the current line number. If :$reset
parameter is set to True
(default), then on source handle switch, the line number will be reset back to zero.
# Reset on-switch enabled
my $cat1 = IO::CatHandle.new(ā¦) does role IO::CatHandle::AutoLines;
# Reset on-switch disabled
my $cat2 = IO::CatHandle.new(ā¦) does role IO::CatHandle::AutoLines[:!reset];
