Article contents:== Outdated egg! This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for [[/eggref/5/regex-literals|the CHICKEN 5 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 [[https://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-5.html|egg index]]. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN. [[tags: eggs literals regex regex-literals]] [[toc:]] == Regex-literals A reader extension providing precompiled regular expression literals of the form {{#/[a-z0-9]+/i}} and <nowiki>#r{^/path/(to)/file$}</nowiki> === Examples ==== Using regular expression literals in the interpreter Loading {{regex-literals}} also loads the {{regex}} unit and allows convenient use of regular expression literals as follows: <enscript highlight=scheme>#;1> (use regex-literals) #;2> #/[A-Za-z0-9]+/ #<regexp> #;3> ,x #/^[a-z0-9]+$/i (regexp "^[a-z0-9]+$" #t #f #f) #;4> (string-match #/^(\d{2}):(\d{2})(..)/ "11:59pm") ("11:59pm" "11" "59" "pm") #;5> (string-split-fields #/[^\s]+/ "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog") ("the" "quick" "brown" "fox" "jumps" "over" "the" "lazy" "dog") #;6> (string-split-fields #r{[^/]+} "/path/to/file") ("path" "to" "file") #;7> (string-substitute #/(\w+)\s+(\w+)/u "\\2, \\1" "John Smith") "Smith, John" </enscript> ==== Using regular expression literals with the compiler Passing a {{-X regex-literals}} command-line option to {{csc}} allows you to conveniently make use of regular expression literals in your egg or compiled program without making the {{regex-literals}} egg a runtime dependency. (See the [[php-s11n]] egg for an example of building with {{regex-literals}}.) === Authors [[/users/arto-bendiken|Arto Bendiken]], [[http://3e8.org/zb|Zbigniew]] === Requires * [[/eggref/4/regex|regex]] === Reader extensions This egg installs a reader extension for {{#\/}} that reads a regular expression literal as described below in {{read-regex-literal}}, and another reader extension for {{#\r}} that works similarly but supports a generalized delimiter syntax as described in {{read-regex-literal/general}}. Note that there are some caveats to using reader extensions when compiling; for more details, refer to the relevant [[/man/4/faq#Why does {{define-reader-ctor}}not work in my compiled program?|FAQ entry]]. === Input and output ==== read-regex-literal <procedure> (read-regex-literal [PORT])</procedure> Reads a regular expression literal of the form {{#/.../}} from {{PORT}}, which defaults to the value of {{(current-input-port)}}. The literal is converted to a precompiled regular expression object using the {{(regexp)}} procedure provided by the [[/man/4/Unit regex|regex]] unit. Regular expression literals may include one or more options that modify the way the pattern matches strings. The options are one or more characters placed immediately after the terminator: * {{#/.../i}} PCRE_CASELESS: case-insensitive mode; the pattern match will ignore the case of letters in the pattern. * {{#/.../x}} PCRE_EXTENDED: extended mode; complex regular expressions can be difficult to read, so this option allows you to insert spaces, newlines, and comments in the pattern to make it more readable. * {{#/.../u}} PCRE_UTF8: UTF-8 mode; sets the language encoding of the regular expression. ==== read-regex-literal/general <procedure> (read-regex-literal/general [PORT])</procedure> Reads a regular expression literal of the form {{#r(...)}} from {{PORT}}, which defaults to the value of {{(current-input-port)}}. This works otherwise similarly to {{read-regex-literal}} but supports a generalized delimiter syntax as follows: * Matching delimiter pairs: {{#r{...}}}, {{#r(...)}}, {{#r[...]}} and {{#r<...>}} * Any arbitrary character: {{#r!...!}}, {{#r|...|}}, {{#r@...@}}, and so forth. === License Copyright (c) 2006-2007 Arto Bendiken.
