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

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

874 matches what SEXP1 matches, followed by what SEXP2 matches, etc.

887 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
888 regular expression.
890 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
891 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
892 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they

894 still match. A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.
896 `(maximal-match SEXP)'
897 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.

903 `(0+ SEXP ...)'
904 matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP ... matches.

907 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp, independent
908 of `rx-greedy-flag'.
910 `(*? SEXP ...)'
911 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
912 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
914 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
915 `(1+ SEXP ...)'
916 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
918 `(+ SEXP ...)'
919 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
921 `(+? SEXP ...)'
922 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
924 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
925 `(optional SEXP ...)'
926 `(opt SEXP ...)'
927 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
929 `(? SEXP ...)'
930 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
932 `(?? SEXP ...)'
933 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
935 `(repeat N SEXP)'
936 `(= N SEXP ...)'
937 matches N occurrences.
939 `(>= N SEXP ...)'
940 matches N or more occurrences.
942 `(repeat N M SEXP)'

944 matches N to M occurrences.
946 `(backref N)'
947 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
949 `(eval FORM)'
950 evaluate FORM and insert result. If result is a string,
951 `regexp-quote' it.
953 `(regexp REGEXP)'
954 include REGEXP in string notation in the result."
