# # # Nim's Runtime Library # (c) Copyright 2012 Andreas Rumpf # # See the file "copying.txt", included in this # distribution, for details about the copyright. # ## Regular expression support for Nim. Deprecated. Consider using the ``nre`` ## or ``pegs`` modules instead. ## ## **Note:** The 're' proc defaults to the **extended regular expression ## syntax** which lets you use whitespace freely to make your regexes readable. ## However, this means to match whitespace ``\s`` or something similar has ## to be used. ## ## This module is implemented by providing a wrapper around the ## `PRCE (Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions) `_ ## C library. This means that your application will depend on the PRCE ## library's licence when using this module, which should not be a problem ## though. ## PRCE's licence follows: ## ## .. include:: ../doc/regexprs.txt ## import pcre, strutils, rtarrays const MaxSubpatterns* = 20 ## defines the maximum number of subpatterns that can be captured. ## This limit still exists for ``replacef`` and ``parallelReplace``. type RegexFlag* = enum ## options for regular expressions reIgnoreCase = 0, ## do caseless matching reMultiLine = 1, ## ``^`` and ``$`` match newlines within data reDotAll = 2, ## ``.`` matches anything including NL reExtended = 3, ## ignore whitespace and ``#`` comments reStudy = 4 ## study the expression (may be omitted if the ## expression will be used only once) RegexDesc = object h: ptr Pcre e: ptr ExtraData Regex* {.deprecated.} = ref RegexDesc ## a compiled regular expression RegexError* = object of ValueError ## is raised if the pattern is no valid regular expression. {.deprecated: [TRegexFlag: RegexFlag, TRegexDesc: RegexDesc, TRegex: Regex, EInvalidRegEx: RegexError].} proc raiseInvalidRegex(msg: string) {.noinline, noreturn.} = var e: ref RegexError new(e) e.msg = msg raise e proc rawCompile(pattern: string, flags: cint): ptr Pcre = var msg: cstring offset: cint result = pcre.compile(pattern, flags, addr(msg), addr(offset), nil) if result == nil: raiseInvalidRegex($msg & "\n" & pattern & "\n" & spaces(offset) & "^\n") proc finalizeRegEx(x: Regex) = # XXX This is a hack, but PCRE does not export its "free" function properly. # Sigh.
