- parseRegex :: String -> Regex
- parseRegexExt :: String -> Regex
Documentation
parseRegex :: String -> RegexSource
parse a standard W3C XML Schema regular expression
parseRegexExt :: String -> RegexSource
parse an extended syntax W3C XML Schema regular expression
The Syntax of the W3C XML Schema spec is extended by
further useful set operations, like intersection, difference, exor.
Subexpression match becomes possible with "named" pairs of parentheses.
The multi char escape sequence \a represents any Unicode char,
The multi char escape sequence \A represents any Unicode word, (\A = \a*).
All syntactically wrong inputs are mapped to the Zero expression representing the
empty set of words. Zero contains as data field a string for an error message.
So error checking after parsing becomes possible by checking against Zero (isZero
predicate)
