Tutorial

We have a regex tutorial at http://tutorial.regex.uk.

The Matches and Match Operators

(*=~) :: ByteString -> RE -> Matches ByteString

find all the matches in the argument text; e.g., to count the number of naturals in s:

countMatches $ s *=~ [re|[0-9]+|]

(?=~) :: ByteString -> RE -> Match ByteString

find the first match in the argument text; e.g., to test if there is a natural number in the input text:

matched $ s ?=~ [re|[0-9]+|]

The SearchReplace Operators

(*=~/) :: ByteString -> SearchReplace RE ByteString -> ByteString

search and replace all matches in the argument text; e.g., this section will convert every YYYY-MM-DD format date in its argument text into a DD/MM/YYYY date:

(*=~/ [ed|${y}([0-9]{4})-0*${m}([0-9]{2})-0*${d}([0-9]{2})///${d}/${m}/${y}|])

(?=~/) :: ByteString -> SearchReplace RE ByteString -> ByteString

search and replace the first occurrence only (if any) in the input text e.g., to prefix the first string of four hex digits in the imput text, if any, with 0x:

(?=~/ [ed|[0-9A-Fa-f]{4}///0x$0|])

The RE Type

data RE

Instances

IsOption REOptions

Methods

makeREOptions :: REOptions -> REOptions

IsOption (Macros RE)

Methods

makeREOptions :: Macros RE -> REOptions

reSource :: RE -> String

extract the RE source string from the RE

Options

You can specify different compilation options by appending a to the name of an [re| ... |] or [ed| ... /// ... |] quasi quoter to select the corresponding compilation option. For example, the section,

(?=~/ [edBlockInsensitive|foo$///bar|])

will replace a foo suffix of the argument text, of any capitalisation, with a (lower case) bar. If you need to specify the options dynamically, use the [re_| ... |] and [red_| ... /// ... |] quasi quoters, which generate functions that take an IsOption option (e.g., a SimpleReOptions value) and yields a RE or SearchReplace as apropriate. For example if you have a SimpleReOptions value in sro then

(?=~/ [ed_|foo$///bar|] sro)

will compile the foo$ RE according to the value of sro. For more on specifying RE options see Text.RE.REOptions.

data SimpleREOptions

the default API uses these simple, universal RE options, which get auto-converted into the apropriate back-end REOptions_

Constructors
