A regular expression abstract syntax tree.

An Expr represents the abstract syntax of a regular expression.

Variants

Empty	An empty regex (which never matches any text).
Literal	A sequence of one or more literal characters to be matched. Fields chars The characters. casei Whether to match case insensitively.
AnyChar	Match any character, excluding new line.
AnyCharNoNL	Match any character.
Class	A character class.
StartLine	Match the start of a line or beginning of input.
EndLine	Match the end of a line or end of input.
StartText	Match the beginning of input.
EndText	Match the end of input.
WordBoundary	Match a word boundary (word character on one side and a non-word character on the other).
NotWordBoundary	Match a position that is not a word boundary (word or non-word characters on both sides).
Group	A group, possibly non-capturing. Fields e The expression inside the group. i The capture index (starting at 1) only for capturing groups. name The capture name, only for capturing named groups.
Repeat	A repeat operator (?, *, + or {m,n}). Fields e The expression to be repeated. Limited to literals, ., classes or grouped expressions. r The type of repeat operator used. greedy Whether the repeat is greedy (match the most) or not (match the least).
Concat	A concatenation of expressions. Must be matched one after the other. N.B. A concat expression can only appear at the top-level or immediately inside a group expression.
Alternate	An alternation of expressions. Only one must match. N.B. An alternate expression can only appear at the top-level or immediately inside a group expression.

Methods

impl Expr

fn parse(s: &str) -> Result<Expr>

Parses a string in a regular expression syntax tree.

Trait Implementations

impl Display for Expr

This implementation of Display will write a regular expression from the syntax tree. It does not write the original string parsed.

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result

Derived Implementations
