Wrapper for PCRE library (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions).

Based on PME - PCRE Made Easy by Zachary Hansen.

Supports main Perl operations using regular expressions (Match, Substitute and Split). To retrieve the results one can simply use operator[] returning a TString.

See $ROOTSYS/tutorials/regexp_pme.C for examples.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ TPMERegexp() [1/4]

TPMERegexp::TPMERegexp ( )

Default constructor. This regexp will match an empty string.

Definition at line 588 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ TPMERegexp() [2/4]

TPMERegexp::TPMERegexp	(	const TString &	s,
		const TString &	opts = `""`,
		Int_t	nMatchMax = `10`
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	s	string to compile into regular expression
[in]	opts	perl-style character flags to be set on TPME object
[in]	nMatchMax	maximum number of matches

Definition at line 605 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ TPMERegexp() [3/4]

TPMERegexp::TPMERegexp	(	const TString &	s,
		UInt_t	opts,
		Int_t	nMatchMax = `10`
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]	s	string to compile into regular expression
[in]	opts	PCRE-style option flags to be set on TPME object
[in]	nMatchMax	maximum number of matches

Definition at line 623 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ TPMERegexp() [4/4]

TPMERegexp::TPMERegexp ( const TPMERegexp & r )

Copy constructor.

Only PCRE specifics are copied, not last-match or global-match information.

Definition at line 639 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ ~TPMERegexp()

virtual TPMERegexp::~TPMERegexp ( )

inlinevirtual

Member Function Documentation

◆ AssignGlobalState()

void TPMERegexp::AssignGlobalState ( const TPMERegexp & re )

Copy global-match state from 're; so that this regexp can continue parsing the string from where 're' left off.

Alternatively, GetGlobalPosition() get be used to retrieve the last match position so that it can passed to Match().

Ideally, as it is done in PERL, the last match position would be stored in the TString itself.

Definition at line 684 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ GetGlobalPosition()

Int_t TPMERegexp::GetGlobalPosition ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 126 of file TPRegexp.h.

◆ GetNMaxMatches()

Int_t TPMERegexp::GetNMaxMatches ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 123 of file TPRegexp.h.

◆ Match()

Int_t TPMERegexp::Match	(	const TString &	s,
		UInt_t	start = `0`
	)

Runs a match on s against the regex 'this' was created with.

Parameters

[in]	s	string to match against
[in]	start	offset at which to start matching

Returns: number of matches found

Definition at line 708 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ NMatches()

Int_t TPMERegexp::NMatches ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 134 of file TPRegexp.h.

◆ operator=()

TPMERegexp & TPMERegexp::operator= ( const TPMERegexp & )

private

◆ operator[]()

TString TPMERegexp::operator[] ( Int_t index )

Returns the sub-string from the internal fMarkers vector.

Requires having run match or split first.

Definition at line 918 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ Print()

void TPMERegexp::Print ( Option_t * option = "" )

virtual

Print the regular expression and modifier options.

If 'option' contains "all", prints also last string match and match results.

Definition at line 933 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ Reset() [1/2]

void TPMERegexp::Reset	(	const TString &	s,
		const TString &	opts = `""`,
		Int_t	nMatchMax = `-1`
	)

Reset the pattern and options.

If 'nMatchMax' other than -1 (the default) is passed, it is also set.

Definition at line 653 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ Reset() [2/2]

void TPMERegexp::Reset	(	const TString &	s,
		UInt_t	opts,
		Int_t	nMatchMax = `-1`
	)

Reset the pattern and options.

If 'nMatchMax' other than -1 (the default) is passed, it is also set.

Definition at line 662 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ ResetGlobalState()

void TPMERegexp::ResetGlobalState ( )

Reset state of global match.

This happens automatically when a new string is passed for matching. But be carefull, as the address of last TString object is used to make this decision.

Definition at line 696 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ SetNMaxMatches()

void TPMERegexp::SetNMaxMatches ( Int_t nm )

inline

Definition at line 124 of file TPRegexp.h.

◆ Split()

Int_t TPMERegexp::Split	(	const TString &	s,
		Int_t	maxfields = `0`
	)

Splits into at most maxfields.

If maxfields is unspecified or 0, trailing empty matches are discarded. If maxfields is positive, no more than maxfields fields will be returned and trailing empty matches are preserved. If maxfields is empty, all fields (including trailing empty ones) are returned. This should be the same as the perl behaviour.

If pattern produces sub-matches, these are also stored in the result.

A pattern matching the null string will split the value of EXPR into separate characters at each point it matches that way.

Parameters

[in]	s	string to split
[in]	maxfields	maximum number of fields to be split out. 0 means split all fields, but discard any trailing empty bits. Negative means split all fields and keep trailing empty bits. Positive means keep up to N fields including any empty fields less than N. Anything remaining is in the last field.

Returns: number of fields found

Definition at line 765 of file TPRegexp.cxx.

◆ Substitute()

Int_t TPMERegexp::Substitute	(	TString &	s,
		const TString &	r,
		Bool_t	doDollarSubst = `kTRUE`
	)

Substitute matching part of s with r, dollar back-ref substitution is performed if doDollarSubst is true (default).

Returns the number of substitutions made.

After the substitution, another pass is made over the resulting string and the following special tokens are interpreted:

\l lowercase next char,
\u uppercase next char,
\L lowercase till \E,
\U uppercase till \E, and
\E end case modification.
