Hey all,

I'm looking for an elegant and (semi-) reliable language or module for
filtering text streams. The 2 major features I'm looking for are
multiplexing (input stream can be converted into several output streams)
and syntactic simplicity.

Any leads would be much appreciated.

Hi Colin

Perhaps this Perl package - SDF - will help:

I have one, but its presently alpha quality. Also, it handles streams of
hash references, but I'm seriously considering to change that to handle
streams of scalars.

What kind of processing is it for?

Send a mail to michael [at] zedeler.dk and I'll send you an introduction.

Regards,

Michael.

By streams it sounds like a continuous source of some sort. Can you
elaborate?

http://TalenD.SF.Net seems to be the most complete open source system
for this sort of thing.
