Description

This provides `ByteString` instances for RegexMaker and RegexLike based on Text.Regex.Posix.Wrap, and a (RegexContext Regex ByteString ByteString) instance.

To use these instance, you would normally import Text.Regex.Posix. You only need to import this module to use the medium level API of the compile, regexec, and execute functions. All of these report error by returning Left values instead of undefined or error or fail.

The ByteString will only be passed to the library efficiently (as a pointer) if it ends in a NUL byte. Otherwise a temporary copy must be made with the 0 byte appended.

data ReturnCode | Source

ReturnCode is an enumerated `CInt`, corresponding to the error codes from `man 3 regex`:

- `retBadbr` (`REG_BADBR`) invalid repetition count(s) in `{ }`
- `retBadpat` (`REG_BADPAT`) invalid regular expression
- `retBadrpt` (`REG_BADRPT`) `?`, `*`, or `+` operand invalid
- `retEcollate` (`REG_ECOLLATE`) invalid collating element
- `retEctype` (`REG_ECTYPE`) invalid character class
- `retEescape` (`REG_EESCAPE`) `\` applied to unescapable character
- `retEsubreg` (`REG_ESUBREG`) invalid backreference number
- `retEbrack` (`REG_EBRACK`) brackets `[ ]` not balanced
- `retEparen` (`REG_EPAREN`) parentheses `( )` not balanced
- `retEbrace` (`REG_EBRACE`) braces `{ }` not balanced
- `retErange` (`REG_ERANGE`) invalid character range in `[ ]`
- `retEspace` (`REG_ESPACE`) ran out of memory
- `retNoMatch` (`REG_NOMATCH`) The regexec() function failed to match

type WrapError = (ReturnCode, String) | Source

The return code will be retOk when it is the Haskell wrapper and not the underlying library generating the error message.

Medium level API functions

compile | Source

:: CompOption | Flags (summed together)
-> ExecOption | Flags (summed together)
-> ByteString | The regular expression to compile
-> IO (Either WrapError Regex) | Returns: the compiled regular expression
Compiles a regular expression

execute | Source

:: Regex | Compiled regular expression
-> ByteString | String to match against
-> IO (Either WrapError (Maybe (Array Int (MatchOffset, MatchLength)))) | Returns: `Nothing` if the regex did not match the string, or: `Just` an array of (offset,length) pairs where index 0 is whole match, and the rest are the captured subexpressions.
Matches a regular expression against a buffer, returning the buffer indicies of the match, and any submatches | Matches a regular expression against a string

-> ByteString | String to match against
-> IO (Either WrapError (Maybe (ByteString, ByteString, ByteString, [ByteString]))) |

Compilation options

newtype CompOption | Source

A bitmapped `CInt` containing options for compilation of regular expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regcomp names) are

- `compBlank` which is a completely zero value for all the flags. This is also the `blankCompOpt` value.
- `compExtended` (REG_EXTENDED) which can be set to use extended instead of basic regular expressions. This is set in the `defaultCompOpt` value.
- `compNewline` (REG_NEWLINE) turns on newline sensitivity: The dot (.) and inverted set `[^ ]` never match newline, and ^ and $ anchors do match after and before newlines. This is set in the `defaultCompOpt` value.
- `compIgnoreCase` (REG_ICASE) which can be set to match ignoring upper and lower distinctions.
- `compNoSub` (REG_NOSUB) which turns off all information from matching except whether a match exists.

Execution options

newtype ExecOption | Source

A bitmapped `CInt` containing options for execution of compiled regular expressions. Option values (and their man 3 regexec names) are

- `execBlank` which is a complete zero value for all the flags. This is the blankExecOpt value.
- `execNotBOL` (REG_NOTBOL) can be set to prevent ^ from matching at the start of the input.
- `execNotEOL` (REG_NOTEOL) can be set to prevent $ from matching at the end of the input (before the terminating NUL).
