27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
30 ;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
31 ;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
32 ;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
33 ;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
34 ;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
36 ;; This significantly extended version of the original, is almost
37 ;; compatible with Sregex. The only incompatibility I (fx) know of is
38 ;; that the `repeat' form can't have multiple regexp args.
40 ;; Now alternative forms are provided for a degree of compatibility
41 ;; with Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation
42 ;; <URL:http://www.ai.mit.edu/~/shivers/sre.txt>. SRE forms not
43 ;; catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
44 ;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
45 ;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
46 ;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
47 ;; regexp strings. These include: any, word. Also, case-sensitivity
48 ;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
49 ;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
50 ;; SRE's POSIX semantics. There are probably more difficulties.
52 ;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
53 ;; usual string notation. The translation can be done at compile-time
54 ;; by using the `rx' macro. It can be done at run-time by calling
55 ;; function `rx-to-string'. See the documentation of `rx' for a
56 ;; complete description of the sexp notation.
58 ;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
60 ;; "^[a-z]*"
61 ;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
63 ;; "\n[^ \t]"
64 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
65 ;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
67 ;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
68 ;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
70 ;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
71 ;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
72 ;; (not (any ?_))))
74 ;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
75 ;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
76 ;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
78 ;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
79 ;; (rx (and line-start
80 ;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
81 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank
82 ;; "quoted-printable"
83 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
85 ;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
86 ;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
87 ;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
89 ;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
90 ;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
91 ;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
93 ;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
94 ;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
95 ;; (and line-start ?\n)))
97 ;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
98 ;; (rx (and "$Id: "
99 ;; (1+ (not (in " ")))
100 ;; " "
101 ;; (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
102 ;; " "))
104 ;; "\\\\\\\\\\[\\w+"

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

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

894 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they

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

913 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
914 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
916 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
917 `(1+ SEXP ...)'
918 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
920 `(+ SEXP ...)'
921 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
923 `(+? SEXP ...)'
924 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
926 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
927 `(optional SEXP ...)'
928 `(opt SEXP ...)'
929 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
931 `(? SEXP ...)'
932 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
934 `(?? SEXP ...)'
935 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
937 `(repeat N SEXP)'
938 `(= N SEXP ...)'
939 matches N occurrences.
941 `(>= N SEXP ...)'
942 matches N or more occurrences.

951 `(backref N)'
952 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
954 `(backref N)'
955 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
957 `(eval FORM)'
958 evaluate FORM and insert result. If result is a string,
959 `regexp-quote' it.
961 `(regexp REGEXP)'
962 include REGEXP in string notation in the result."
