Description

Classes and instances for Regex matching.

All the classes are declared here, and some common type aliases, and the MatchResult data type.

The only instances here are for Extract String and Extract ByteString. There are no data values. The RegexContext instances are in Text.Regex.Base.Context, except for ones which run afoul of a repeated variable (RegexContext regex a a), which are defined in each modules' String and ByteString modules.

Synopsis
type MatchOffset = Int
type MatchLength = Int
type MatchArray = Array Int (MatchOffset, MatchLength)
type MatchText source = Array Int (source, (MatchOffset, MatchLength))
data MatchResult a = MR {
mrBefore :: a
mrMatch :: a
mrAfter :: a
mrSubList :: [a]
mrSubs :: (Array Int a)
}

Type aliases
type MatchOffset = Int
0 based index from start of source, or (-1) for unused
type MatchLength = Int
non-negative length of a match
type MatchArray = Array Int (MatchOffset, MatchLength)
0 based array, with 0th index indicating the full match. If the full match location is not available, represent as (0,0).
type MatchText source = Array Int (source, (MatchOffset, MatchLength))
Data types
data MatchResult a
This is the same as the type from JRegex.
Constructors

Classes
class RegexOptions regex compOpt execOpt | regex -> compOpt execOpt, compOpt -> regex execOpt, execOpt -> regex compOpt where
Rather than carry them around spearately, the options for how to execute a regex are kept as part of the regex. There are two types of options. Those that can only be specified at compilation time and never changed are CompOpt. Those that can be changed later and affect how matching is performed are ExecOpt. The actually types for these depend on the backend.
Methods
blankCompOpt
:: compOptno options set at all in the backend
blankExecOpt
:: execOptno options set at all in the backend
defaultCompOpt
:: compOptreasonable options (extended,caseSensitive,multiline regex)
defaultExecOpt
:: execOptreasonable options (extended,caseSensitive,multiline regex)
setExecOpts :: execOpt -> regex -> regex
forget old flags and use new ones
getExecOpts :: regex -> execOpt
retrieve the current flags
class RegexOptions regex compOpt execOpt => RegexMaker regex compOpt execOpt source | regex -> compOpt execOpt, compOpt -> regex execOpt, execOpt -> regex compOpt where
RegexMaker captures the creation of the compiled regular expression from a source type and an option type. The makeRegex function has a default implementation that depends on makeRegexOpts and used defaultCompOpt and defaultExecOpt.
Methods
makeRegex :: source -> regex
make using the defaultCompOpt and defaultExecOpt
makeRegexOpts :: compOpt -> execOpt -> source -> regex
Specify your own options
class Extract source => RegexLike regex source where

RegexLike is parametrized on a regular expression type and a source type to run the matching on.

There are default implementations: matchTest and matchOnceText using matchOnce; matchCount and matchAllText using matchAll. matchOnce uses matchOnceText and matchAll uses matchAllText. So a minimal complete instance need to provide (matchOnce or matchOnceText) and (matchAll or matchAllText).

Methods
matchAll :: regex -> source -> [MatchArray]
matchOnce :: regex -> source -> Maybe MatchArray
This can return an array of (offset,length) index pairs for the match and captured substrings.
matchCount :: regex -> source -> Int
matchTest :: regex -> source -> Bool
matchAllText :: regex -> source -> [MatchText source]
matchOnceText :: regex -> source -> Maybe (source, MatchText source, source)
This can return a tuple of three items: the source before the match, an array of the match and captured substrings (with their indices), and the source after the match.
class RegexLike regex source => RegexContext regex source target where
RegexContext is the polymorphic interface to do matching
Methods
match :: regex -> source -> target
matchM :: Monad m => regex -> source -> m target

class Extract source where
Extract allows for indexing operations on String or ByteString.
Methods
before :: Int -> source -> source
before is a renamed take
after :: Int -> source -> source
after is a renamed drop
empty :: source
For when there is no match, this can construct an empty data value
extract :: (Int, Int) -> source -> source
extract takes an offset and length and has a default implementation of extract (off,len) source = before len (after off source)
