Description

A module for regular expression matching, adapted for XML DTDs.

This module is based on the module RE.

Synopsis

Documentation

data RE a Source

Data type for regular expressions.

Instances

Eq a => Eq (RE a) 
Show a => Show (RE a) 

checkRE :: Show a => RE a -> StringSource

Checks if an input matched a regular expression. The function should be called after matches.

Was the sentence used in matches in the language of the regular expression? -> matches e s == s `in` L(e)?

  • 1.parameter re : the derived regular expression
  • returns : empty String if input matched the regular expression, otherwise an error message is returned

matches :: RE String -> XmlTrees -> RE StringSource

Derives a regular expression with respect to a list of elements.

  • 1.parameter re : regular expression
  • 2.parameter list : list of elements to which the regular expression is applied
  • returns : the derived regular expression

printRE :: Show a => RE a -> StringSource

Constructs a string representation of a regular expression.

  • 1.parameter re : a regular expression
  • returns : the string representation of the regular expression

re_unit :: RE aSource

Constructs a regular expression for an empty sequence.

  • returns : regular expression for an empty sequence

re_zero :: String -> RE aSource

Constructs a regular expression for an empty set.

  • 1.parameter errMsg : error message
  • returns : regular expression for an empty set

re_sym :: a -> RE aSource

Constructs a regular expression for accepting a symbol

  • 1.parameter sym : the symbol to be accepted
  • returns : regular expression for accepting a symbol

re_rep :: RE a -> RE aSource

Constructs an optional repetition (*) of a regular expression

  • 1.parameter re_a : regular expression to be repeted
  • returns : new regular expression

re_plus :: RE a -> RE aSource

Constructs a repetition (+) of a regular expression

  • 1.parameter re_a : regular expression to be repeted
  • returns : new regular expression

re_opt :: RE a -> RE aSource

Constructs an option (?) of a regular expression

  • 1.parameter re_a : regular expression to be optional
  • returns : new regular expression

re_seq :: RE a -> RE a -> RE aSource

Constructs a sequence (,) of two regular expressions

  • 1.parameter re_a : first regular expression in sequence
  • 2.parameter re_b : second regular expression in sequence
  • returns : new regular expression

re_alt :: RE a -> RE a -> RE aSource

Constructs an alternative (|) of two regular expressions

  • 1.parameter re_a : first regular expression of alternative
  • 2.parameter re_b : second regular expression of alternative
  • returns : new regular expression

re_dot :: RE aSource

Constructs a regular expression for accepting any singel symbol

  • returns : regular expression for accepting any singel symbol
