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 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:
56 ;; "^[a-z]*"
57 ;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
59 ;; "\n[^ \t]"
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
68 ;; (not (any ?_))))
70 ;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
71 ;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
72 ;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
74 ;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
75 ;; (rx (and line-start
76 ;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
77 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank
78 ;; "quoted-printable"
79 ;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
81 ;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
82 ;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
83 ;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
85 ;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
86 ;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
87 ;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
89 ;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
90 ;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
91 ;; (and line-start ?\n)))
93 ;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
94 ;; (rx (and "$Id: "
95 ;; (1+ (not (in " ")))
96 ;; " "
97 ;; (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
98 ;; " "))
100 ;; "\\\\\\\\\\[\\w+"

1075 `(not (category CATEGORY))'
1076 matches a character that doesn't have category CATEGORY.
1078 `(and SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1079 `(: SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1080 `(seq SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1081 `(sequence SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1082 matches what SEXP1 matches, followed by what SEXP2 matches, etc.
1084 `(submatch SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1085 `(group SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1086 like `and', but makes the match accessible with `match-end',

1089 `(submatch-n N SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1090 `(group-n N SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'

1094 `(or SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1095 `(| SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
1096 matches anything that matches SEXP1 or SEXP2, etc. If all
1097 args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
1098 regular expression.
1100 `(minimal-match SEXP)'
1101 produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP. Normally, regexps matching
1102 zero or more occurrences of something are \"greedy\" in that they
1103 match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
1104 still match. A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.
1106 `(maximal-match SEXP)'
1107 produce a greedy regexp for SEXP. This is the default.
1109 Below, `SEXP ...' represents a sequence of regexp forms, treated as if
1110 enclosed in `(and ...)'.
1112 `(zero-or-more SEXP ...)'
1113 `(0+ SEXP ...)'
1114 matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP ... matches.
1116 `(* SEXP ...)'
1117 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp, independent
1118 of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1120 `(*? SEXP ...)'
1121 like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp,
1122 independent of `rx-greedy-flag'.
1124 `(one-or-more SEXP ...)'
1125 `(1+ SEXP ...)'
1126 matches one or more occurrences of SEXP ...
1128 `(+ SEXP ...)'
1129 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1131 `(+? SEXP ...)'
1132 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1134 `(zero-or-one SEXP ...)'
1135 `(optional SEXP ...)'
1136 `(opt SEXP ...)'
1137 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
1139 `(? SEXP ...)'
1140 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
1142 `(?? SEXP ...)'
1143 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
1145 `(repeat N SEXP)'
1146 `(= N SEXP ...)'
1147 matches N occurrences.
1149 `(>= N SEXP ...)'
1150 matches N or more occurrences.
1152 `(repeat N M SEXP)'
1153 `(** N M SEXP ...)'
1154 matches N to M occurrences.
