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 Olin Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation. SRE forms
39 ;; not catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
40 ;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
41 ;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
42 ;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
43 ;; regexp strings. These include: any, word. Also, case-sensitivity
44 ;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
45 ;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
46 ;; SRE's POSIX semantics. There are probably more difficulties.
48 ;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
49 ;; usual string notation. The translation can be done at compile-time
50 ;; by using the `rx' macro. It can be done at run-time by calling
51 ;; function `rx-to-string'. See the documentation of `rx' for a
52 ;; complete description of the sexp notation.
54 ;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
57 ;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
60 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
61 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
63 ;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
64 ;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
66 ;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
67 ;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
70 ;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
71 ;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
72 ;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
74 ;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
75 ;; (rx (and line-start
76 ;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
79 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
81 ;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
82 ;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
83 ;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
85 ;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
86 ;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
87 ;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
90 ;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
91 ;; (and line-start ?\n)))
93 ;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
95 ;; (1+ (not (in " ")))
97 ;; (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
101 ;; (rx (and ?\\ ?\\ ?\[ (1+ word)))

1098 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
1101 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
1102 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
1103 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
1104 match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
1105 still match. A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.

1108 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.
1110 Below, `SEXP ...' represents a sequence of regexp forms, treated as if

1113 `(zero-or-more SEXP ...)'
1115 matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP ... matches.
1118 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp, independent

1123 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1125 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
1127 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
1130 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1133 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1135 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'

1138 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
1141 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
