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

1073 `(not (category CATEGORY))'
1074 matches a character that doesn't have category CATEGORY.
1076 `(and SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1077 `(: SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1078 `(seq SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1079 `(sequence SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1080 matches what SEXP1 matches, followed by what SEXP2 matches, etc.
1082 `(submatch SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1083 `(group SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1084 like `and', but makes the match accessible with `match-end',

1092 `(or SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1093 `(| SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1094 matches anything that matches SEXP1 or SEXP2, etc. If all
1095 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
1096 regular expression.
1098 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
1099 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
1100 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
1101 match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
1102 still match. A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.
1104 `(maximal-match SEXP)'
1105 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.
1107 Below, `SEXP ...' represents a sequence of regexp forms, treated as if
1108 enclosed in `(and ...)'.
1110 `(zero-or-more SEXP ...)'
1111 `(0+ SEXP ...)'
1112 matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP ... matches.
1114 `(* SEXP ...)'
1115 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp, independent
1116 of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1118 `(*? SEXP ...)'
1119 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
1120 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1122 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
1123 `(1+ SEXP ...)'
1124 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
1126 `(+ SEXP ...)'
1127 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1129 `(+? SEXP ...)'
1130 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1132 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
1133 `(optional SEXP ...)'
1134 `(opt SEXP ...)'
1135 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
1137 `(? SEXP ...)'
1138 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1140 `(?? SEXP ...)'
1141 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1143 `(repeat N SEXP)'
1144 `(= N SEXP ...)'
1145 matches N occurrences.
1147 `(>= N SEXP ...)'
1148 matches N or more occurrences.
1150 `(repeat N M SEXP)'
1151 `(** N M SEXP ...)'
