36 -- This package implements roughly the same set of regular expressions as
37 -- are available in the Perl or Python programming languages.
39 -- This is an extension of the original V7 style regular expression library
40 -- written in C by Henry Spencer. Apart from the translation to Ada, the
41 -- interface has been considerably changed to use the Ada String type
42 -- instead of C-style nul-terminated strings.
44 ------------------------------------------------------------
45 -- Summary of Pattern Matching Packages in GNAT Hierarchy --
46 ------------------------------------------------------------
48 -- There are three related packages that perform pattern maching functions.
49 -- the following is an outline of these packages, to help you determine
50 -- which is best for your needs.
52 -- GNAT.Regexp (files g-regexp.ads/g-regexp.adb)
53 -- This is a simple package providing Unix-style regular expression
54 -- matching with the restriction that it matches entire strings. It
55 -- is particularly useful for file name matching, and in particular
56 -- it provides "globbing patterns" that are useful in implementing
57 -- unix or DOS style wild card matching for file names.
59 -- GNAT.Regpat (files g-regpat.ads/g-regpat.adb)
60 -- This is a more complete implementation of Unix-style regular
61 -- expressions, copied from the Perl regular expression engine,
62 -- written originally in C by Henry Spencer. It is functionally the
63 -- same as that library.
65 -- GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns (files g-spipat.ads/g-spipat.adb)
66 -- This is a completely general pattern matching package based on the
67 -- pattern language of SNOBOL4, as implemented in SPITBOL. The pattern
68 -- language is modeled on context free grammars, with context sensitive
69 -- extensions that provide full (type 0) computational capabilities.
71 package GNAT.Regpat is
72 pragma Preelaborate (Regpat);
74 -- The grammar is the following:
76 -- regexp ::= expr
77 -- ::= ^ expr -- anchor at the beginning of string
78 -- ::= expr $ -- anchor at the end of string
79 -- expr ::= term
80 -- ::= term | term -- alternation (term or term ...)
81 -- term ::= item
82 -- ::= item item ... -- concatenation (item then item)
83 -- item ::= elmt -- match elmt
84 -- ::= elmt * -- zero or more elmt's
85 -- ::= elmt + -- one or more elmt's
86 -- ::= elmt ? -- matches elmt or nothing
87 -- ::= elmt *? -- zero or more times, minimum number
88 -- ::= elmt +? -- one or more times, minimum number
89 -- ::= elmt ?? -- zero or one time, minimum number
90 -- ::= elmt { num } -- matches elmt exactly num times
91 -- ::= elmt { num , } -- matches elmt at least num times
92 -- ::= elmt { num , num2 } -- matches between num and num2 times
93 -- ::= elmt { num }? -- matches elmt exactly num times
94 -- ::= elmt { num , }? -- matches elmt at least num times
95 -- non-greedy version
96 -- ::= elmt { num , num2 }? -- matches between num and num2 times
97 -- non-greedy version
98 -- elmt ::= nchr -- matches given character
99 -- ::= [range range ...] -- matches any character listed
100 -- ::= [^ range range ...] -- matches any character not listed
101 -- ::= . -- matches any single character
102 -- -- except newlines
103 -- ::= ( expr ) -- parens used for grouping
104 -- ::= \ num -- reference to num-th parenthesis
105 -- range ::= char - char -- matches chars in given range
106 -- ::= nchr
107 -- ::= [: posix :] -- any character in the POSIX range
108 -- ::= [:^ posix :] -- not in the POSIX range
109 -- posix ::= alnum -- alphanumeric characters
110 -- ::= alpha -- alphabetic characters
111 -- ::= ascii -- ascii characters (0 .. 127)
112 -- ::= cntrl -- control chars (0..31, 127..159)
113 -- ::= digit -- digits ('0' .. '9')
114 -- ::= graph -- graphic chars (32..126, 160..255)
115 -- ::= lower -- lower case characters
116 -- ::= print -- printable characters (32..127)
117 -- ::= punct -- printable, except alphanumeric
118 -- ::= space -- space characters
119 -- ::= upper -- upper case characters
120 -- ::= word -- alphanumeric characters
121 -- ::= xdigit -- hexadecimal chars (0..9, a..f)
123 -- char ::= any character, including special characters
124 -- ASCII.NUL is not supported.
125 -- nchr ::= any character except \()[].*+?^ or \char to match char
126 -- \n means a newline (ASCII.LF)
127 -- \t means a tab (ASCII.HT)
128 -- \r means a return (ASCII.CR)
129 -- \b matches the empty string at the beginning or end of a
130 -- word. A word is defined as a set of alphanumerical
131 -- characters (see \w below).
132 -- \B matches the empty string only when *not* at the
133 -- beginning or end of a word.
134 -- \d matches any digit character ([0-9])
135 -- \D matches any non digit character ([^0-9])
136 -- \s matches any white space character. This is equivalent
137 -- to [ \t\n\r\f\v] (tab, form-feed, vertical-tab,...
138 -- \S matches any non-white space character.
139 -- \w matches any alphanumeric character or underscore.
140 -- This include accented letters, as defined in the
141 -- package Ada.Characters.Handling.
142 -- \W matches any non-alphanumeric character.
143 -- \A match the empty string only at the beginning of the
144 -- string, whatever flags are used for Compile (the
145 -- behavior of ^ can change, see Regexp_Flags below).
146 -- \G match the empty string only at the end of the
147 -- string, whatever flags are used for Compile (the
148 -- behavior of $ can change, see Regexp_Flags below).
149 -- ... ::= is used to indication repetition (one or more terms)
151 -- Embedded newlines are not matched by the ^ operator.
152 -- It is possible to retrieve the substring matched a parenthesis
153 -- expression. Although the depth of parenthesis is not limited in the
154 -- regexp, only the first 9 substrings can be retrieved.
156 -- The highest value possible for the arguments to the curly operator ({})
157 -- are given by the constant Max_Curly_Repeat below.
159 -- The operators '*', '+', '?' and '{}' always match the longest possible
160 -- substring. They all have a non-greedy version (with an extra ? after the
161 -- operator), which matches the shortest possible substring.
163 -- For instance:
164 -- regexp="<.*>" string="<h1>title</h1>" matches="<h1>title</h1>"
165 -- regexp="<.*?>" string="<h1>title</h1>" matches="<h1>"
167 -- '{' and '}' are only considered as special characters if they appear
168 -- in a substring that looks exactly like '{n}', '{n,m}' or '{n,}', where
169 -- n and m are digits. No space is allowed. In other contexts, the curly
170 -- braces will simply be treated as normal characters.
172 -- Compiling Regular Expressions
173 -- =============================
175 -- To use this package, you first need to compile the regular expression
176 -- (a string) into a byte-code program, in a Pattern_Matcher structure.
177 -- This first step checks that the regexp is valid, and optimizes the
178 -- matching algorithms of the second step.
180 -- Two versions of the Compile subprogram are given: one in which this
181 -- package will compute itself the best possible size to allocate for the
182 -- byte code; the other where you must allocate enough memory yourself. An
183 -- exception is raised if there is not enough memory.
185 -- declare
186 -- Regexp : String := "a|b";
188 -- Matcher : Pattern_Matcher := Compile (Regexp);
189 -- -- The size for matcher is automatically allocated
191 -- Matcher2 : Pattern_Matcher (1000);
192 -- -- Some space is allocated directly.
194 -- begin
195 -- Compile (Matcher2, Regexp);
196 -- ...
197 -- end;
199 -- Note that the second version is significantly faster, since with the
200 -- first version the regular expression has in fact to be compiled twice
201 -- (first to compute the size, then to generate the byte code).
203 -- Note also that you can not use the function version of Compile if you
204 -- specify the size of the Pattern_Matcher, since the discriminants will
205 -- most probably be different and you will get a Constraint_Error
207 -- Matching Strings
208 -- ================
210 -- Once the regular expression has been compiled, you can use it as often
211 -- as needed to match strings.
213 -- Several versions of the Match subprogram are provided, with different
214 -- parameters and return results.
216 -- See the description under each of these subprograms.
218 -- Here is a short example showing how to get the substring matched by
219 -- the first parenthesis pair.
221 -- declare
222 -- Matches : Match_Array;
223 -- Regexp : String := "a(b|c)d";
224 -- Str : String := "gacdg";
226 -- begin
227 -- Match (Compile (Regexp), Str, Matches);
228 -- return Str (Matches (1).First .. Matches (1).Last);
229 -- -- returns 'c'
230 -- end;
232 -- String Substitution
233 -- ===================
235 -- No subprogram is currently provided for string substitution.
236 -- However, this is easy to simulate with the parenthesis groups, as
237 -- shown below.
239 -- This example swaps the first two words of the string:
241 -- declare
242 -- Regexp : String := "([a-z]+) +([a-z]+)";
243 -- Str : String := " first second third ";
244 -- Matches : Match_Array;
246 -- begin
247 -- Match (Compile (Regexp), Str, Matches);
248 -- return Str (Str'First .. Matches (1).First - 1)
249 -- & Str (Matches (2).First .. Matches (2).Last)
250 -- & " "
251 -- & Str (Matches (1).First .. Matches (1).Last)
252 -- & Str (Matches (2).Last + 1 .. Str'Last);
253 -- -- returns " second first third "
254 -- end;
