NAME
       Text::Query::SolveSimpleString - Apply query expression on strings

SYNOPSIS
	 use Text::Query;
	 my $q=new Text::Query(’+hello +world’,
			       -parse => ’Text::Query::ParseSimple’,
			       -solve => ’Text::Query::SolveSimpleString’,
			       -build => ’Text::Query::BuildSimpleString’);

	 $q->match(’this hello is a world’)

DESCRIPTION
       Applies an expression built by "Text::Query::BuildSimpleString" to a
       list of strings.

METHODS
       match ([TARGET])
	   If "TARGET" is a scalar, "match" returns a true value if the
	   string specified by "TARGET" matches the query object’s query
	   expression.	If "TARGET" is not given, the match is made against
	   $_.

	   If "TARGET" is an array, "match" returns a (possibly empty) list
	   of all matching elements.  If the elements of the array are refer-
	   ences to sub- arrays, the match is done against the first element
	   of each sub-array.  This allows arbitrary information (e.g. file-
	   names) to be associated with each string to match.

	   If "TARGET" is a reference to an array, "match" returns a refer-
	   ence to a (possibly empty) list of all matching elements.

       matchscalar ([TARGET])
	   Behaves just like "MATCH" when "TARGET" is a scalar or is not
	   given.  Slightly faster than "MATCH" under these circumstances.
