\&\f(CW\*(C`use Net::DNS::RR\*(C'\fR;
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Class for \s-1DNS\s0 Text (\s-1TXT\s0) resource records.

.Vb 1
\&    print "txtdata = ", $rr\->txtdata, "\en";
.Ve
.PP
Returns the descriptive text as a single string, regardless of actual 
number of <character\-string> elements.  Of questionable value.  Should 
be deprecated.
.PP
Use \f(CW\*(C`$txt\->rdatastr()\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`$txt\->char_str_list()\*(C'\fR instead.
.SS "char_str_list"
.IX Subsection "char_str_list"
.Vb 2
\& print "Individual <character\-string> list: \en\et", 
\&       join("\en\et", $rr\->char_str_list());
.Ve
.PP
Returns a list of the individual <character\-string> elements, 
as unquoted strings.  Used by \s-1TXT\-\s0>rdatastr and \s-1TXT\-\s0>rr_rdata.
.PP
\&\s-1NB:\s0 rdatastr will return quoted strings.
.SH "FEATURES"
.IX Header "FEATURES"
The \s-1RR\s0.pm module accepts semi-colons as a start of a comment. This is
to allow the \s-1RR\s0.pm to deal with \s-1RFC1035\s0 specified zonefile format.
.PP
For some applications of the \s-1TXT\s0 \s-1RR\s0 the semicolon is relevant, you
will need to escape it on input.
.PP
Also note that you should specify the several character strings
separately. The easiest way to do so is to include the whole argument
in single quotes and the several character strings in double
quotes. Double quotes inside the character strings will need to be
escaped.
.PP
my \f(CW$TXTrr\fR=Net::DNS::RR\->new('txt2.t.net\-dns.org.	60	\s-1IN\s0
	\s-1TXT\s0  \*(L"Test1 \e\*(R" \e; more stuff\*(L"  \*(R"Test2"');
.PP
would result in 
\&\f(CW$TXTrr\fR\->\fIchar_str_list()\fR)[0] containing 'Test1 " ; more stuff'
and
\&\f(CW$TXTrr\fR\->\fIchar_str_list()\fR)[1] containing 'Test2'
.PP
Note that the rdatastr method (and therefore the print, and string
method) returns the escaped format.
