|
Regular expressions
|
|
data Regex |
A compiled regular expression
|
|
|
mkRegex :: String -> Regex |
Makes a regular expression with the default options (multi-line,
case-sensitive). The syntax of regular expressions is
otherwise that of egrep (i.e. POSIX "extended" regular
expressions).
|
|
mkRegexWithOpts |
:: String | The regular expression to compile
| -> Bool | True <=> '^' and '$' match the beginning and
end of individual lines respectively, and '.' does not
match the newline character.
| -> Bool | True <=> matching is case-sensitive
| -> Regex | Returns: the compiled regular expression
| Makes a regular expression, where the multi-line and
case-sensitive options can be changed from the default settings.
|
|
|
matchRegex |
:: Regex | The regular expression
| -> String | The string to match against
| -> Maybe [String] | Returns: Just strs if the match succeeded
(and strs is the list of subexpression matches),
or Nothing otherwise.
| Match a regular expression against a string
|
|
|
matchRegexAll |
:: Regex | The regular expression
| -> String | The string to match against
| -> Maybe (String, String, String, [String]) | Returns: Nothing if the match failed, or:
Just ( everything before match,
portion matched,
everything after the match,
subexpression matches )
| Match a regular expression against a string, returning more information
about the match.
|
|
|
subRegex |
:: Regex | Search pattern
| -> String | Input string
| -> String | Replacement text
| -> String | Output string
| Replaces every occurance of the given regexp with the replacement string.
In the replacement string, "\1" refers to the first substring;
"\2" to the second, etc; and "\0" to the entire match.
"\\\\" will insert a literal backslash.
|
|
|
splitRegex :: Regex -> String -> [String] |
Splits a string based on a regular expression. The regular expression
should identify one delimiter.
