NAME
       RTF::Lexer - Rich Text Format (RTF) lexical analyzer.

SYNOPSIS
         use RTF::Lexer qw(:all);

         my $parser = RTF::Lexer->new(in => 'text.rtf');
         my $token;
         do {
           $token = $parser->get_token();
         } until $parser->is_stop_token($token);

DESCRIPTION
       RTF::Lexer is a low-level RTF format lexical analyzer. It splits the input stream into
       separate tokens, which can be handled by other high-level modules.

METHODS
       new The constructor. Accepts the only argument "in" which must be an input file handle or
           a file name. In the latter case if there is a failure while opening the file method
           "new" throws an exception. By default the input is read from "STDIN".

       get_token
           Returns the next token from the input stream. The token is a reference to an array
           those first element is a numeric id of the token type. The second element is a string
           representation of the token. The third element may exists only if the token is a
           control word and represents the numerical parameter of this control word.

           The following token types are recognized by RTF::Lexer, that are declared as constants
           in this module:

           CWORD   Control word (eg. "\rtf1", "\trowd").

           CSYMB   Control symbol, mentioned in RTF Specification version 1.7.

           CUNDF   Unknown control symbol (i.e. not mentioned in RTF Specification).

           PTEXT   Plain text.

           ENTER   Start of group ("{").

           LEAVE   End of group ("}").

           DESTN   End of destination group ("}" that turns off destination mode).

           ENHEX   Data in hexadecimal format that follows "\'" control symbol.

           ENBIN   End of binary data block (started by "\bin" control word).

           WRHEX   Symbol which is not a hexadecimal digit found where ENHEX token expected.

           OKEOF   Normal end of input stream.

           UNEOF   Unexpected end of input stream.

           UNBRC   End of group that does not match any start of group.

           These constants are not exported by default. Any of them may be exported by request.
           All of them may be exported by the use of ":all" export tag.

       unget_token($token)
           Pushes back token $token so the next call to "get_token" will return it.

       set_destination
           Turns on the destination mode, i.e. all tokens will be ignored until the end of
           current group.

BUGS
       It is impossible to have more then one RTF::Lexer objects in a single process.
