## Introduction, differences with PCRE
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the assumptions made during the writing of the implementation, that
|
||||
are valid for all the `regex` module features:
|
||||
|
||||
1. The matching stops at the end of the string, *not* at newline characters.
|
||||
|
||||
2. The basic atomic elements of this regex engine are the tokens.
|
||||
In a query string a simple character is a token.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Differences with PCRE:
|
||||
|
||||
NB: We must point out that the **V-Regex module is not PCRE compliant** and thus
|
||||
some behaviour will be different. This difference is due to the V philosophy,
|
||||
to have one way and keep it simple.
|
||||
|
||||
The first thing we must point out is that the **V-Regex module is not PCRE compliant** and
|
||||
thus some behaviour will be different.
|
||||
This module is born upon the V philosophy to have one way and keep it simple.
|
||||
The main differences can be summarized in the following points:
|
||||
|
||||
- The basic element **is the token not the sequence of symbols**, the most simple token
|
||||
is simple char.
|
||||
- The basic element **is the token not the sequence of symbols**, and the most
|
||||
simple token, is a single character.
|
||||
|
||||
- `|` **OR operator act on token,** for example `abc|ebc` is not `abc` OR `ebc` it
|
||||
is evaluated like `ab` followed by `c OR e` followed by`bc`, this because the **token is
|
||||
the base element** not the sequence of symbols.
|
||||
- The **match operation stop at the end of the string** not at the new line chars.
|
||||
- `|` **the OR operator acts on tokens,** for example `abc|ebc` is not
|
||||
`abc` OR `ebc`. Instead it is evaluated like `ab`, followed by `c OR e`,
|
||||
followed by `bc`, because the **token is the base element**,
|
||||
not the sequence of symbols.
|
||||
|
||||
Further information can be found in the other part of this document.
|
||||
- The **match operation stops at the end of the string**. It does *NOT* stop
|
||||
at new line characters.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic assumption
|
||||
|
||||
In this release, during the writing of the code some assumptions are made
|
||||
and are valid for all the features.
|
||||
|
||||
1. The matching stops at the end of the string not at the newline chars.
|
||||
2. The basic elements of this regex engine are the tokens,
|
||||
in a query string a simple char is a token. The token is the atomic unit of this regex engine.
|
||||
|
||||
## Match positional limiter
|
||||
|
||||
The module supports the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
- `$` `^` delimiter
|
||||
|
||||
`^` (Caret.) Matches at the start of the string
|
||||
|
||||
`$` Matches at the end of the string
|
||||
|
||||
## Tokens
|
||||
|
||||
The tokens are the atomic units used by this regex engine and can be ones of the following:
|
||||
The tokens are the atomic units, used by this regex engine.
|
||||
They can be one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Simple char
|
||||
|
||||
this token is a simple single character like `a`.
|
||||
This token is a simple single character like `a` or `b` etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Match positional delimiters
|
||||
|
||||
`^` Matches the start of the string.
|
||||
|
||||
`$` Matches the end of the string.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Char class (cc)
|
||||
|
||||
The cc matches all the chars specified inside, it is delimited by square brackets `[ ]`
|
||||
The character classes match all the chars specified inside. Use square
|
||||
brackets `[ ]` to enclose them.
|
||||
|
||||
the sequence of chars in the class is evaluated with an OR operation.
|
||||
The sequence of the chars in the character class, is evaluated with an OR op.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, the following cc `[abc]` matches any char that is `a` or `b` or `c`
|
||||
but doesn't match `C` or `z`.
|
||||
For example, the cc `[abc]`, matches any character, that is `a` or `b` or `c`,
|
||||
but it doesn't match `C` or `z`.
|
||||
|
||||
Inside a cc is possible to specify a "range" of chars,
|
||||
for example `[ad-f]` is equivalent to write `[adef]`.
|
||||
Inside a cc, it is possible to specify a "range" of characters, for example
|
||||
`[ad-h]` is equivalent to writing `[adefgh]`.
|
||||
|
||||
A cc can have different ranges at the same time like `[a-zA-z0-9]` that matches all the lowercase,
|
||||
uppercase and numeric chars.
|
||||
A cc can have different ranges at the same time, for example `[a-zA-z0-9]`
|
||||
matches all the latin lowercase, uppercase and numeric characters.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible negate the cc using the caret char at the start of the cc like: `[^abc]`
|
||||
that matches every char that is not `a` or `b` or `c`.
|
||||
It is possible to negate the meaning of a cc, using the caret char at the
|
||||
start of the cc like this: `[^abc]` . That matches every char that is NOT
|
||||
`a` or `b` or `c`.
|
||||
|
||||
A cc can contain meta-chars like: `[a-z\d]` that matches all the lowercase latin chars `a-z`
|
||||
and all the digits `\d`.
|
||||
A cc can contain meta-chars like: `[a-z\d]`, that match all the lowercase
|
||||
latin chars `a-z` and all the digits `\d`.
|
||||
|
||||
It is possible to mix all the properties of the char class together.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** In order to match the `-` (minus) char, it must be preceded by a backslash
|
||||
in the cc, for example `[\-_\d\a]` will match `-` minus, `_`underscore, `\d` numeric chars,
|
||||
`\a` lower case chars.
|
||||
NB: In order to match the `-` (minus) char, it must be preceded by
|
||||
a backslash in the cc, for example `[\-_\d\a]` will match:
|
||||
`-` minus,
|
||||
`_` underscore,
|
||||
`\d` numeric chars,
|
||||
`\a` lower case chars.
|
||||
|
||||
### Meta-chars
|
||||
|
||||
A meta-char is specified by a backslash before a char like `\w` in this case the meta-char is `w`.
|
||||
A meta-char is specified by a backslash, before a character.
|
||||
For example `\w` is the meta-char `w`.
|
||||
|
||||
A meta-char can match different type of chars.
|
||||
A meta-char can match different types of characters.
|
||||
|
||||
* `\w` matches an alphanumeric char `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`
|
||||
* `\W` matches a non alphanumeric char
|
||||
* `\d` matches a digit `[0-9]`
|
||||
* `\D` matches a non digit
|
||||
* `\s`matches a space char, one of `[' ','\t','\n','\r','\v','\f']`
|
||||
* `\s` matches a space char, one of `[' ','\t','\n','\r','\v','\f']`
|
||||
* `\S` matches a non space char
|
||||
* `\a` matches only a lowercase char `[a-z]`
|
||||
* `\A` matches only an uppercase char `[A-Z]`
|
||||
|
||||
### Quantifier
|
||||
|
||||
Each token can have a quantifier that specify how many times the char can or must be matched.
|
||||
Each token can have a quantifier, that specifies how many times the character
|
||||
must be matched.
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Short quantifier**
|
||||
#### **Short quantifiers**
|
||||
|
||||
- `?` matches 0 or 1 time, `a?b` matches both `ab` or `b`
|
||||
- `+` matches at minimum 1 time, `a+` matches both `aaa` or `a`
|
||||
- `*` matches 0 or more time, `a*b` matches both `aaab` or `ab` or `b`
|
||||
- `+` matches *at least* 1 time, for example, `a+` matches both `aaa` or `a`
|
||||
- `*` matches 0 or more times, for example, `a*b` matches `aaab`, `ab` or `b`
|
||||
|
||||
#### **Long quantifier**
|
||||
#### **Long quantifiers**
|
||||
|
||||
- `{x}` matches exactly x time, `a{2}` matches `aa` but doesn't match `aaa` or `a`
|
||||
- `{min,}` matches at minimum min time, `a{2,}` matches `aaa` or `aa` but doesn't match `a`
|
||||
- `{,max}` matches at least 0 time and maximum max time,
|
||||
`a{,2}` matches `a` and `aa` but doesn't match `aaa`
|
||||
- `{min,max}` matches from min times to max times,
|
||||
`a{2,3}` matches `aa` and `aaa` but doesn't match `a` or `aaaa`
|
||||
- `{x}` matches exactly x times, `a{2}` matches `aa`, but not `aaa` or `a`
|
||||
- `{min,}` matches at least min times, `a{2,}` matches `aaa` or `aa`, not `a`
|
||||
- `{,max}` matches at least 0 times and at maximum max times,
|
||||
for example, `a{,2}` matches `a` and `aa`, but doesn't match `aaa`
|
||||
- `{min,max}` matches from min times, to max times, for example
|
||||
`a{2,3}` matches `aa` and `aaa`, but doesn't match `a` or `aaaa`
|
||||
|
||||
a long quantifier may have a `greedy off` flag that is the `?` char after the brackets,
|
||||
`{2,4}?` means to match the minimum number possible tokens in this case 2.

||||
A long quantifier, may have a `greedy off` flag, that is the `?`
|
||||
character after the brackets. `{2,4}?` means to match the minimum
|
||||
number of possible tokens, in this case 2.
|
||||
|
||||
### dot char
|
||||
### Dot char
|
||||
|
||||
the dot is a particular meta char that matches "any char",
|
||||
is more simple explain it with an example:
|
||||
The dot is a particular meta-char, that matches "any char".
|
||||
|
||||
suppose to have `abccc ddeef` as source string to parse with regex,
|
||||
the following table show the query strings and the result of parsing source string.
|
||||
It is simpler to explain it with an example:
|
||||
|
||||
| query string | result |
|
||||
| ------------ | ------ |
|
||||
| `.*c` | `abc` |
|
||||
| `.*dd` | `abcc dd` |
|
||||
| `ab.*e` | `abccc dde` |
|
||||
Suppose you have `abccc ddeef` as a source string, that you want to parse
|
||||
with a regex. The following table show the query strings and the result of
|
||||
parsing source string.
|
||||
|
||||
+--------------+-------------+
|
||||
| query string | result |
|
||||
|--------------|-------------|
|
||||
| `.*c` | `abc` |
|
||||
| `.*dd` | `abcc dd` |
|
||||
| `ab.*e` | `abccc dde` |
|
||||
| `ab.{3} .*e` | `abccc dde` |
|
||||
+--------------+-------------+
|
||||
|
||||
the dot char matches any char until the next token match is satisfied.
|
||||
The dot matches any character, until the next token match is satisfied.
|
||||
|
||||
### OR token
|
||||
|
||||
the token `|` is a logic OR operation between two consecutive tokens,
|
||||
`a|b` matches a char that is `a` or `b`.
|
||||
The token `|`, means a logic OR operation between two consecutive tokens,
|
||||
i.e. `a|b` matches a character that is `a` or `b`.
|
||||
|
||||
The OR token can work in a "chained way": `a|(b)|cd ` test first `a` if the char is not `a`
|
||||
then test the group `(b)` and if the group doesn't match test the token `c`.
|
||||
The OR token can work in a "chained way": `a|(b)|cd ` means test first `a`,
|
||||
if the char is not `a`, then test the group `(b)`, and if the group doesn't
|
||||
match too, finally test the token `c`.
|
||||
|
||||
**note: The OR work at token level! It doesn't work at concatenation level!**
|
||||
NB: ** unlike in PCRE, the OR operation works at token level!**
|
||||
It doesn't work at concatenation level!
|
||||
|
||||
A query string like `abc|bde` is not equal to `(abc)|(bde)`!!
|
||||
The OR work only on `c|b` not at char concatenation level.
|
||||
That also means, that a query string like `abc|bde` is not equal to
|
||||
`(abc)|(bde)`, but instead to `ab(c|b)de.
|
||||
The OR operation works only for `c|b`, not at char concatenation level.
|
||||
|
||||
### Groups
|
||||
|
||||
Groups are a method to create complex patterns with repetition of blocks of tokens.
|
||||
|
||||
The groups are delimited by round brackets `( )`,
|
||||
groups can be nested and can have a quantifier as all the tokens.
|
||||
Groups are a method to create complex patterns with repetitions of blocks
|
||||
of tokens. The groups are delimited by round brackets `( )`. Groups can be
|
||||
nested. Like all other tokens, groups can have a quantifier too.
|
||||
|
||||
`c(pa)+z` match `cpapaz` or `cpaz` or `cpapapaz` .
|
||||
|
||||
`(c(pa)+z ?)+` matches `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` or `cpapaz`
|
||||
|
||||
let analyze this last case, first we have the group `#0`
|
||||
that are the most outer round brackets `(...)+`,
|
||||
this group has a quantifier that say to match its content at least one time `+`.
|
||||
Lets analyze this last case, first we have the group `#0`, that is the most
|
||||
outer round brackets `(...)+`. This group has a quantifier `+`, that say to
|
||||
match its content *at least one time*.
|
||||
|
||||
After we have a simple char token `c` and a second group that is the number `#1` :`(pa)+`,
|
||||
this group try to match the sequence `pa` at least one time as specified by the `+` quantifier.
|
||||
Then we have a simple char token `c`, and a second group `#1`: `(pa)+`.
|
||||
This group also tries to match the sequence `pa`, *at least one time*,
|
||||
as specified by the `+` quantifier.
|
||||
|
||||
After, we have another simple token `z` and another simple token ` ?`
|
||||
that is the space char (ascii code 32) followed by the `?` quantifier
|
||||
that say to capture the space char 0 or 1 time.
|
||||
Then, we have another simple token `z` and another simple token ` ?`,
|
||||
i.e. the space char (ascii code 32) followed by the `?` quantifier,
|
||||
which means that the preceding space should be matched 0 or 1 time.
|
||||
|
||||
This explain because the `(c(pa)+z ?)+` query string can match `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` .
|
||||
This explains why the `(c(pa)+z ?)+` query string,
|
||||
can match `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` .
|
||||
|
||||
In this implementation the groups are "capture groups",
|
||||
it means that the last temporal result for each group can be retrieved from the `RE` struct.

In order to simplify the use of the named groups, it is possible to
|

use a name map in the `re` struct, using the function `re.get_group_by_name`.
