Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

regex-extras

Introduction

Provides access to PCRE structures beyond that of the regex unit.

Documentation

There are two extensions in this egg - regex-extras) & regex-chardefs.

The regex-extras extension provides access to PCRE data structures:

pcre_extra
pcre_compile options
pcre_fullinfo
pcre_config

The regex-chardefs extension allows an override of the character definitions.

Regex Extras
Usage

<pre> (require-extension regex-extras) </pre>

regex-version
 
<procedure>(regex-version)</procedure>

Extra Info
Extra Info Symbols:
match-limit
match-limit-recursion
callout-data
tables
regexp-extra-info-set!
 
<procedure>(regexp-extra-info-set! REGEXP EXTRA-INFO-SYMBOL EXTRA-INFO-VALUE ...)</procedure>

Sets the compiled PCRE regular expression extra-info structure fields.

EXTRA-INFO-FIELD is an Extra Info Field Symbol.

EXTRA-INFO-VALUE is an object of appropriate type.

regexp-extra-info
 
<procedure>(regexp-extra-info REGEXP EXTRA-INFO-SYMBOL ...)</procedure>

Returns a list of the compiled PCRE regular expression extra-info structure fields.

pcre_compile Options
Option Symbols OPTION:
caseless
Character case insensitive match
multiline
Equivalent to Perl's /m option
dotall
Equivalent to Perl's /s option
extended
Ignore whitespace
anchored
Anchor pattern match
dollar-endonly
`$' metacharacter in the pattern matches only at the end of the subject string
extra
Currently of very little use
notbol
First character of the string is not the beginning of a line
noteol
End of the string is not the end of a line
ungreedy
Inverts the "greediness" of the quantifiers so that they are not greedy by default
notempty
The empty string is not considered to be a valid match
utf8
UTF-8 encoded characters
no-auto-capture
Disables the use of numbered capturing parentheses
no-utf8-check
Skip valid UTF-8 sequence check
auto-callout
Automatically inserts callout items (not defined here)
partial
Partial match ok
firstline
An unanchored pattern is required to match before or at the first newline
dupnames
Names used to identify capturing subpatterns need not be unique
newline-cr
Newline definition is `\r'
newline-lf
Newline definition is `\n'
newline-crlf
Newline definition is `\r\n'
newline-anycrlf
Newline definition is any of `\r', `\n', or `\r\n'
newline-any
Newline definition is any Unicode newline sequence
bsr-anycrlf
`\R' escape sequence matches only CR, LF, or CRLF
bsr-unicode
`\R' escape sequence matches only Unicode newline sequence
dfa-shortest
Ignored
dfa-restart
Ignored
regexp-options-set!
 
<procedure>(regexp-options-set! REGEXP OPTION-SYMBOL ...)</procedure>

Sets the compiled PCRE regular expression options.

regexp-options
 
<procedure>(regexp-options REGEXP | OPTION-BITS)</procedure>

Returns a list of compiled PCRE regular expression options.

OPTION-BITS is an integer.

regexp-info
 
<procedure>(regexp-info REGEXP [FULLINFO-SYMBOL] ...)</procedure>

Returns a list of compiled PCRE regular expression fullinfo fields.

regexp-info-nametable
 
<procedure>(regexp-info-nametable REGEXP)</procedure>

Returns a list of the compiled PCRE regular expression nametable fields, (NAME INDEX CC).

regex-build-config-info
 
<procedure>(regex-build-config-info [CONFIG-INFO-SYMBOL] ...)</procedure>

Regex Chardefs
Usage

<pre> (require-extension regex-chardefs) </pre>

regex-chardef-set!
 
<procedure>(regex-chardef-set! CHARDEFS-TABLE CHAR/INDEX CHARDEF-VECTOR)</procedure>

Sets the character definition for the CHAR or at the INDEX in the CHARDEFS-TABLE to the new character definition, CHARDEF-VECTOR.

The CHARDEF-VECTOR is a character definition vector where:

element 0
the lower-case character or #f
element 1
the flipped-case character or #f
element 2
list of character class names or #f
element 3
list of character type names or #f
Character Class Symbols:
space
xdigit
digit
upper
lower
word
graph
print
punct
cntrl
Character Type Symbols:
space
letter
digit
xdigit
word
meta
regex-chardefs-update!
 
<procedure>(regex-chardefs-update! CHARDEFS-TABLE CHARDEFS-VECTOR)</procedure>

Updates the CHARDEFS-TABLE with the new character definitions, CHARDEFS-VECTOR.

The CHARDEFS-VECTOR is a character definitions vector. Each of the 256 elements is either #f, for no definition change, or a character definition vector, as above.

regex-chardefs
 
<procedure>(regex-chardefs CHARDEFS-TABLE)</procedure>

Returns a character definitions vector, as above.
