1;;; rx.el --- sexp notation for regular expressions

26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
29;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
30;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
31;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
32;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
33;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
34
35;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
36;; usual string notation. The translation can be done at compile-time
37;; by using the `rx' macro. It can be done at run-time by calling
38;; function `rx-to-string'. See the documentation of `rx' for a
39;; complete description of the sexp notation.
40;;
41;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
42;;
43;; "^[a-z]*"
44;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
45;;
46;; "\n[^ \t]"
47;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
48;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
49;;
50;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
51;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
52;;
53;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
54;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
55;; (not (any ?_))))
56;;
57;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
58;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
59;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
60;;
61;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
62;; (rx (and line-start
63;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
64;; (+ (? ?\n) blank)
65;; "quoted-printable"
66;; (+ (? ?\n) blank))
67;;
68;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
69;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
70;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
71;;
72;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
73;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
74;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
75;;
76;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
77;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
78;; (and line-start ?\n)))
79;;
80;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
81;; (rx (and "$Id": "
82;; (1+ (not (in " ")))
83;; " "
84;; (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))

713
714`(1+ SEXP)'
715 like `one-or-more'.
716
717`(+ SEXP)'
718 like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.
719
720`(+? SEXP)'
721 like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
722
723`(zero-or-one SEXP)'
724 matches zero or one occurrences of A.
725
726`(optional SEXP)'
727 like `zero-or-one'.
728
729`(? SEXP)'
730 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.
731
732`(?? SEXP)'
733 like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.
734
735`(repeat N SEXP)'
736 matches N occurrences of what SEXP matches.
737
738`(repeat N M SEXP)'
739 matches N to M occurrences of what SEXP matches.
