This file may not be copied, modified, or distributed // except according to those terms. //! This crate provides a native implementation of regular expressions that is //! heavily based on RE2 both in syntax and in implementation. Notably, //! backreferences and arbitrary lookahead/lookbehind assertions are not //! provided. In return, regular expression searching provided by this package //! has excellent worst case performance. The specific syntax supported is //! documented further down. //! //! This crate's documentation provides some simple examples, describes Unicode //! support and exhaustively lists the supported syntax. For more specific //! details on the API, please see the documentation for the `Regex` type. //! //! # Usage //! //! This crates is [on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/regex) and can be //! used by adding `regex` to your dependencies in your project's `Cargo.toml`. //! //! ```toml //! [dependencies] //! regex = "0.1.8" //! ``` //! //! and this to your crate root: //! //! ```rust //! extern crate regex; //! ``` //! //! # First example: find a date //! //! General use of regular expressions in this package involves compiling an //! expression and then using it to search, split or replace text. For example, //! to confirm that some text resembles a date: //! //! ```rust //! use regex::Regex; //! let re = Regex::new(r"^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$").unwrap(); //! assert!(re.is_match("2014-01-01")); //! ``` //! //! Notice the use of the `^` and `$` anchors. In this crate, every expression //! is executed with an implicit `.*?` at the beginning and end, which allows //! it to match anywhere in the text. Anchors can be used to ensure that the //! full text matches an expression. //! //! This example also demonstrates the utility of //! [raw strings](http://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference.html#raw-byte-string-literals) //! in Rust, which //! are just like regular strings except they are prefixed with an `r` and do //! not process any escape sequences. For example, `"\\d"` is the same //! expression as `r"\d"`. //! //! # The `regex!` macro //! //! Rust's compile time meta-programming facilities provide a way to write a //! `regex!` macro which compiles regular expressions *when your program //! compiles*. Said differently, if you only use `regex!` to build regular //! expressions in your program, then your program cannot compile with an //! invalid regular expression. Moreover, the `regex!` macro compiles the //! given expression to native Rust code, which makes it much faster for //! searching text. //! //! To use the `regex!` macro, you must enable the `plugin` feature and import //! the `regex_macros` crate as a syntax extension: //! //! ```ignore //! #![feature(plugin)] //! #![plugin(regex_macros)] //! extern crate regex; //! //! fn main() { //! let re = regex!(r"^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$"); //! assert!(re.is_match("2014-01-01")); //! } //! ``` //! //! There are a few things worth mentioning about using the `regex!` macro. //! Firstly, the `regex!` macro *only* accepts string *literals*. //! Secondly, the `regex` crate *must* be linked with the name `regex` since //! the generated code depends on finding symbols in the `regex` crate. //! //! The only downside of using the `regex!` macro is that it can increase the //! size of your program's binary since it generates specialized Rust code. //! The extra size probably won't be significant for a small number of //! expressions, but 100+ calls to `regex!` will probably result in a //! noticeably bigger binary. //! //! **NOTE**: This is implemented using a compiler plugin, which is not //! available on the Rust 1.0 beta/stable channels. Therefore, you'll only //! be able to use `regex!` on the nightlies. //! //! # Example: iterating over capture groups //! //! This crate provides convenient iterators for matching an expression //! repeatedly against a search string to find successive non-overlapping //! matches. For example, to find all dates in a string and be able to access //! them by their component pieces: //! //! ```rust //! # extern crate regex; use regex::Regex; //! # fn main() { //! let re = Regex::new(r"(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})").unwrap(); //! let text = "2012-03-14, 2013-01-01 and 2014-07-05"; //! for cap in re.captures_iter(text) { //! println!("Month: {} Day: {} Year: {}", //! cap.at(2).unwrap_or(""), cap.at(3).unwrap_or(""), //! cap.at(1).unwrap_or("")); //! } //! // Output: //! // Month: 03 Day: 14 Year: 2012 //! // Month: 01 Day: 01 Year: 2013 //! // Month: 07 Day: 05 Year: 2014 //! # } //! ``` //! //! Notice that the year is in the capture group indexed at `1`. This is //! because the *entire match* is stored in the capture group at index `0`. //! //! # Example: replacement with named capture groups //! //! Building on the previous example, perhaps we'd like to rearrange the date //! formats. This can be done with text replacement. But to make the code //! clearer, we can *name* our capture groups and use those names as variables //! in our replacement text: //! //! ```rust //! # extern crate regex; use regex::Regex; //! # fn main() { //! let re = Regex::new(r"(?P<y>\d{4})-(?P<m>\d{2})-(?P<d>\d{2})").unwrap(); //! let before = "2012-03-14, 2013-01-01 and 2014-07-05"; //! let after = re.replace_all(before, "$m/$d/$y"); //! assert_eq!(after, "03/14/2012, 01/01/2013 and 07/05/2014"); //! # } //! ``` //! //! The `replace` methods are actually polymorphic in the replacement, which //! provides more flexibility than is seen here. (See the documentation for //! `Regex::replace` for more details.) //! //! Note that if your regex gets complicated, you can use the `x` flag to //! enable insigificant whitespace mode, which also lets you write comments: //! //! ```rust //! # extern crate regex; use regex::Regex; //! # fn main() { //! let re = Regex::new(r"(?x) //! (?P<y>\d{4}) # the year //! - //! (?P<m>\d{2}) # the month //! - //! (?P<d>\d{2}) # the day //! ").unwrap(); //! let before = "2012-03-14, 2013-01-01 and 2014-07-05"; //! let after = re.replace_all(before, "$m/$d/$y"); //! assert_eq!(after, "03/14/2012, 01/01/2013 and 07/05/2014"); //! # } //! ``` //! //! # Pay for what you use //! //! With respect to searching text with a regular expression, there are three //! questions that can be asked: //! //! 1. Does the text match this expression? //! 2. If so, where does it match? //! 3. Where are the submatches? //! //! Generally speaking, this crate could provide a function to answer only #3, //! which would subsume #1 and #2 automatically. However, it can be //! significantly more expensive to compute the location of submatches, so it's //! best not to do it if you don't need to. //! //! Therefore, only use what you need. For example, don't use `find` if you //! only need to test if an expression matches a string. (Use `is_match` //! instead.) //! //! # Unicode //! //! This implementation executes regular expressions **only** on sequences of //! Unicode scalar values while exposing match locations as byte indices into //! the search string. //! //! Currently, only simple case folding is supported. Namely, when matching //! case insensitively, the characters are first mapped using the //! [simple case folding](ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/CaseFolding.txt) //! mapping. //! //! Regular expressions themselves are also **only** interpreted as a sequence //! of Unicode scalar values. This means you can use Unicode characters //! directly in your expression: //! //! ```rust //! # extern crate regex; use regex::Regex; //! # fn main() { //! let re = Regex::new(r"(?i)Δ+").unwrap(); //! assert_eq!(re.find("ΔδΔ"), Some((0, 6))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! Finally, Unicode general categories and scripts are available as character //! classes. For example, you can match a sequence of numerals, Greek or //! Cherokee letters: //! //! ```rust //! # extern crate regex; use regex::Regex; //! # fn main() { //! let re = Regex::new(r"[\pN\p{Greek}\p{Cherokee}]+").unwrap(); //! assert_eq!(re.find("abcΔᎠβⅠᏴγδⅡxyz"), Some((3, 23))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! # Syntax //! //! The syntax supported in this crate is almost in an exact correspondence //! with the syntax supported by RE2. It is documented below. //! //! Note that the regular expression parser and abstract syntax are exposed in //! a separate crate, //! [`regex-syntax`](../regex_syntax/index.html). //! //! ## Matching one character //! //! <pre class="rust"> //! . any character except new line (includes new line with s flag) //!

For example, `(?x)` sets the flag `x` //! and `(?-x)` clears the flag `x`. Multiple flags can be set or cleared at //! the same time: `(?xy)` sets both the `x` and `y` flags and `(?x-y)` sets //! the `x` flag and clears the `y` flag. //! //!

This crate can handle both untrusted regular expressions and untrusted //! search text. //! //! Untrusted regular expressions are handled by capping the size of a compiled //! regular expression. (See `Regex::with_size_limit`.) Without this, it would //! be trivial for an attacker to exhaust your system's memory with expressions //! like `a{100}{100}{100}`. //! //! Untrusted search text is allowed because the matching engine(s) in this //! crate have time complexity `O(mn)` (with `m ~ regex` and `n ~ search //! text`), which means there's no way to cause exponential blow-up like with //! some other regular expression engines.
