Description
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Class for finding text patterns in a string using regular expressions. Regular expressions are a way to define patterns of text to be searched.
|
|
|
|
This class only finds patterns in a string. It can not perform replacements.
|
|
|
|
Usage of regular expressions is too long to be explained here, but Internet is full of tutorials and detailed explanations.
|
|
|
|
Currently supported features:
|
|
|
|
Capturing ``()`` and non-capturing ``(?:)`` groups
|
|
|
|
Any character ``.``
|
|
|
|
Shorthand character classes ``\w \W \s \S \d \D``
|
|
|
|
User-defined character classes such as ``:ref:`A-Za-z<class_a-za-z>```
|
|
|
|
Simple quantifiers ``?``, ``\*`` and ``+``
|
|
|
|
Range quantifiers ``{x,y}``
|
|
|
|
Lazy (non-greedy) quantifiers ``\*?``
|
|
|
|
Beginning ``^`` and end ``$`` anchors
|
|
|
|
Alternation ``|``
|
|
|
|
Backreferences ``\1`` and ``\g{1}``
|
|
|
|
POSIX character classes ``:ref:`[:alnum:<class_[:alnum:>`]``
|
|
|
|
Lookahead ``(?=)``, ``(?!)`` and lookbehind ``(?<=)``, ``(?<!)``
|
|
|
|
ASCII ``\xFF`` and Unicode ``\uFFFF`` code points (in a style similar to Python)
|
|
|
|
Word boundaries ``\b``, ``\B``
|
|

Member Function Description

---------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_compile:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **compile** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` pattern, :ref:`int<class_int>` capture=9 **)**
|
|
|
|
Compiles and assign the regular expression pattern to use. The limit on the number of capturing groups can be specified or made unlimited if negative.
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_find:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **find** **(** :ref:`String<class_string>` text, :ref:`int<class_int>` start=0, :ref:`int<class_int>` end=-1 **)** const
|
|
|
|
This method tries to find the pattern within the string, and returns the position where it was found. It also stores any capturing group (see :ref:`get_capture<class_RegEx_get_capture>`) for further retrieval.
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_clear:
|
|
|
|
- void **clear** **(** **)**
|
|
|
|
This method resets the state of the object, as it was freshly created. Namely, it unassigns the regular expression of this object, and forgets all captures made by the last :ref:`find<class_RegEx_find>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_is_valid:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **is_valid** **(** **)** const
|
|
|
|
Returns whether this object has a valid regular expression assigned.
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_get_capture_count:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_capture_count** **(** **)** const
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of capturing groups. A captured group is the part of a string that matches a part of the pattern delimited by parentheses (unless they are non-capturing parentheses *(?:)*).
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_get_capture:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`String<class_string>` **get_capture** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` capture **)** const
|
|
|
|
Returns a captured group. A captured group is the part of a string that matches a part of the pattern delimited by parentheses (unless they are non-capturing parentheses *(?:)*).
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_get_capture_start:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`int<class_int>` **get_capture_start** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` capture **)** const
|
|
|
|
.. _class_RegEx_get_captures:
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`StringArray<class_stringarray>` **get_captures** **(** **)** const
|
|
|
|
Return a list of all the captures made by the regular expression.
