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:
59 ;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
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
72 ;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
73 ;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
74 ;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
76 ;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
77 ;; (rx (and line-start
78 ;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
81 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
83 ;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
84 ;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
85 ;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
87 ;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
88 ;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
89 ;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
92 ;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
93 ;; (and line-start ?\n)))
95 ;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
97 ;; (1+ (not (in " ")))

1046 `(: SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'

1059 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
1062 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
1063 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
1064 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
1065 match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
1066 still match. A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.
1068 `(maximal-match SEXP)'
1069 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.
1071 Below, `SEXP ...' represents a sequence of regexp forms, treated as if
1072 enclosed in `(and ...)'.
1074 `(zero-or-more SEXP ...)'
1076 matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP ... matches.
1079 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp, independent
1080 of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1083 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
1084 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1086 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
1088 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
1091 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1094 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1096 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
1097 `(optional SEXP ...)'
1099 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
1102 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1105 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1109 matches N occurrences.
1112 matches N or more occurrences.
1116 matches N to M occurrences.
1119 matches what was matched previously by submatch N.
