//// This module contains regular expression matching functions for strings. //// The matching algorithms of the library are based on the PCRE library, but not //// all of the PCRE library is interfaced and some parts of the library go beyond //// what PCRE offers. Currently PCRE version 8.40 (release date 2017-01-11) is used. import gleam/option.{Option} pub external type Regex /// The details about a particular match: /// pub type Match { Match( /// The full string of the match. content: String, /// A `Regex` can have subpatterns, sup-parts that are in parentheses. submatches: List(Option(String)), ) } /// When a regular expression fails to compile: /// pub type CompileError { CompileError( /// The problem encountered that caused the compilation to fail error: String, /// The byte index into the string to where the problem was found /// This value may not be correct in JavaScript environments. byte_index: Int, ) } pub type Options { Options(case_insensitive: Bool, multi_line: Bool) } /// Creates a `Regex` with some additional options. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ```gleam /// > let options = Options(case_insensitive: False, multi_line: True) /// > assert Ok(re) = compile("^[0-9]", with: options) /// > check(re, "abc\n123") /// True /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > let options = Options(case_insensitive: True, multi_line: False) /// > assert Ok(re) = compile("[A-Z]", with: options) /// > check(re, "abc123") /// True /// ``` /// pub fn compile( pattern: String, with options: Options, ) -> Result(Regex, CompileError) { do_compile(pattern, options) } if erlang { external fn do_compile(String, with: Options) -> Result(Regex, CompileError) = "gleam_stdlib" "compile_regex" } if javascript { external fn do_compile(String, with: Options) -> Result(Regex, CompileError) = "../gleam_stdlib.mjs" "compile_regex" } /// Creates a new `Regex`. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ```gleam /// > assert Ok(re) = from_string("[0-9]") /// > check(re, "abc123") /// True /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > check(re, "abcxyz") /// False /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > from_string("[0-9") /// Error( /// CompileError( /// error: "missing terminating ] for character class", /// byte_index: 4 /// ) /// ) /// ``` /// pub fn from_string(pattern: String) -> Result(Regex, CompileError) { compile(pattern, Options(case_insensitive: False, multi_line: False)) } /// Returns a boolean indicating whether there was a match or not. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ```gleam /// > assert Ok(re) = from_string("^f.o.?") /// > check(with: re, content: "foo") /// True /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > check(with: re, content: "boo") /// False /// ``` /// pub fn check(with regex: Regex, content content: String) -> Bool { do_check(regex, content) } if erlang { external fn do_check(Regex, String) -> Bool = "gleam_stdlib" "regex_check" } if javascript { external fn do_check(Regex, String) -> Bool = "../gleam_stdlib.mjs" "regex_check" } /// Splits a string. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ```gleam /// > assert Ok(re) = from_string(" *, *") /// > split(with: re, content: "foo,32, 4, 9 ,0") /// ["foo", "32", "4", "9", "0"] /// ``` /// pub fn split(with regex: Regex, content string: String) -> List(String) { do_split(regex, string) } if erlang { external fn do_split(Regex, String) -> List(String) = "gleam_stdlib" "regex_split" } if javascript { fn do_split(regex, string) -> List(String) { js_split(string, regex) } external fn js_split(String, Regex) -> List(String) = "../gleam_stdlib.mjs" "split" } /// Collects all matches of the regular expression. /// /// ## Examples /// /// ```gleam /// > let assert Ok(re) = from_string("[oi]n a (\\w+)") /// > scan(with: re, content: "I am on a boat in a lake.") /// [ /// Match( /// content: "on a boat", /// submatches: [Some("boat")] /// ), /// Match( /// content: "in a lake", /// submatches: [Some("lake")] /// ) /// ] /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > let assert Ok(re) = regex.from_string("([+|\\-])?(\\d+)(\\w+)?") /// > scan(with: re, content: "-36") /// [ /// Match( /// content: "-36", /// submatches: [Some("-"), Some("36")] /// ) /// ] /// /// > scan(with: re, content: "36") /// [ /// Match( /// content: "36", /// submatches: [None, Some("36")] /// ) /// ] /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > let assert Ok(re) = regex.from_string("var\\s*(\\w+)\\s*(int|string)?\\s*=\\s*(.*)") /// > scan(with: re, content: "var age = 32") /// [ /// Match( /// content: "var age = 32", /// submatches: [Some("age"), None, Some("32")] /// ) /// ] /// ``` /// /// ```gleam /// > let assert Ok(re) = regex.from_string("let (\\w+) = (\\w+)") /// > scan(with: re, content: "let age = 32") /// [ /// Match( /// content: "let age = 32", /// submatches: [Some("age"), Some("32")] /// ) /// ] /// /// > scan(with: re, content: "const age = 32") /// [] /// ``` /// pub fn scan(with regex: Regex, content string: String) -> List(Match) { do_scan(regex, string) } if erlang { external fn do_scan(Regex, String) -> List(Match) = "gleam_stdlib" "regex_scan" } if javascript { external fn do_scan(Regex, String) -> List(Match) = "../gleam_stdlib.mjs" "regex_scan" }
