26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
29 ;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
30 ;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
31 ;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
32 ;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
33 ;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
35 ;; This significantly extended version of the original, is almost
36 ;; compatible with Sregex. The only incompatibility I (fx) know of is
37 ;; that the `repeat' form can't have multiple regexp args.
39 ;; Now alternative forms are provided for a degree of compatibility
40 ;; with Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation
41 ;; <URL:http://www.ai.mit.edu/~/shivers/sre.txt>. SRE forms not
42 ;; catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
43 ;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
44 ;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
45 ;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
46 ;; regexp strings. These include: any, word. Also, case-sensitivity
47 ;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
48 ;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
49 ;; SRE's POSIX semantics. There are probably more difficulties.
51 ;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
52 ;; usual string notation. The translation can be done at compile-time
53 ;; by using the `rx' macro. It can be done at run-time by calling
54 ;; function `rx-to-string'. See the documentation of `rx' for a
55 ;; complete description of the sexp notation.
57 ;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
59 ;; "^[a-z]*"
60 ;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
62 ;; "\n[^ \t]"
63 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
64 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
66 ;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
67 ;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
69 ;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
70 ;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
71 ;; (not (any ?_))))
73 ;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
74 ;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
75 ;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
77 ;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
78 ;; (rx (and line-start
79 ;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
80 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank
81 ;; "quoted-printable"
82 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
84 ;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
85 ;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
86 ;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
88 ;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
89 ;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
90 ;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
92 ;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
93 ;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
94 ;; (and line-start ?\n)))
96 ;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
97 ;; (rx (and "$Id: "
98 ;; (1+ (not (in " ")))
99 ;; " "
100 ;; (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
101 ;; " "))

554 This function may return false negatives, but it will not
555 return false positives. It is nevertheless useful in
556 situations where an efficiency shortcut can be taken iff a
557 regexp is atomic. The function can be improved to detect
558 more cases of atomic regexps. Presently, this function
559 detects the following categories of atomic regexp;
561 a group or shy group: \\(...\\)
562 a character class: [...]
563 a single character: a
565 On the other hand, false negatives will be returned for
566 regexps that are atomic but end in operators, such as
567 \"a+\". I think these are rare. Probably such cases could
568 be detected without much effort. A guarantee of no false

883 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
884 regular expression.
886 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
887 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
888 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
889 match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can

893 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.

907 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
908 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
910 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
911 `(1+ SEXP ...)'
912 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
914 `(+ SEXP ...)'
915 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
917 `(+? SEXP ...)'
918 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
920 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
921 `(optional SEXP ...)'
922 `(opt SEXP ...)'
923 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
925 `(? SEXP ...)'
926 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
928 `(?? SEXP ...)'
929 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
931 `(repeat N SEXP)'
932 `(= N SEXP ...)'
933 matches N occurrences.
935 `(>= N SEXP ...)'
936 matches N or more occurrences.
938 `(repeat N M SEXP)'

946 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
948 `(backref N)'
949 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
951 `(eval FORM)'
952 evaluate FORM and insert result. If result is a string,
953 `regexp-quote' it.
955 `(regexp REGEXP)'
956 include REGEXP in string notation in the result."
