43 * @title: Perl-compatible regular expressions
44 * @short_description: matches strings against regular expressions
45 * @see_also: <xref linkend="glib-regex-syntax"/>
47 * The <function>g_regex_*()</function> functions implement regular
48 * expression pattern matching using syntax and semantics similar to
49 * Perl regular expression.
51 * Some functions accept a @start_position argument, setting it differs
52 * from just passing over a shortened string and setting #G_REGEX_MATCH_NOTBOL
53 * in the case of a pattern that begins with any kind of lookbehind assertion.
54 * For example, consider the pattern "\Biss\B" which finds occurrences of "iss"
55 * in the middle of words. ("\B" matches only if the current position in the
56 * subject is not a word boundary.) When applied to the string "Mississipi"
57 * from the fourth byte, namely "issipi", it does not match, because "\B" is
58 * always false at the start of the subject, which is deemed to be a word
59 * boundary. However, if the entire string is passed , but with
60 * @start_position set to 4, it finds the second occurrence of "iss" because
61 * it is able to look behind the starting point to discover that it is
62 * preceded by a letter.
64 * Note that, unless you set the #G_REGEX_RAW flag, all the strings passed
65 * to these functions must be encoded in UTF-8. The lengths and the positions
66 * inside the strings are in bytes and not in characters, so, for instance,
67 * "\xc3\xa0" (i.e. "à") is two bytes long but it is treated as a
68 * single character. If you set #G_REGEX_RAW the strings can be non-valid
69 * UTF-8 strings and a byte is treated as a character, so "\xc3\xa0" is two
70 * bytes and two characters long.
72 * When matching a pattern, "\n" matches only against a "\n" character in
73 * the string, and "\r" matches only a "\r" character. To match any newline
74 * sequence use "\R". This particular group matches either the two-character
75 * sequence CR + LF ("\r\n"), or one of the single characters LF (linefeed,
76 * U+000A, "\n"), VT vertical tab, U+000B, "\v"), FF (formfeed, U+000C, "\f"),
77 * CR (carriage return, U+000D, "\r"), NEL (next line, U+0085), LS (line
78 * separator, U+2028), or PS (paragraph separator, U+2029).
80 * The behaviour of the dot, circumflex, and dollar metacharacters are
81 * affected by newline characters, the default is to recognize any newline
82 * character (the same characters recognized by "\R"). This can be changed
83 * with #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_LF and #G_REGEX_NEWLINE_CRLF
84 * compile options, and with #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_ANY,
85 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CR, #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_LF and
86 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_NEWLINE_CRLF match options. These settings are also
87 * relevant when compiling a pattern if #G_REGEX_EXTENDED is set, and an
88 * unescaped "#" outside a character class is encountered. This indicates
89 * a comment that lasts until after the next newline.
91 * When setting the %G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT flag, pattern syntax and pattern
92 * matching is changed to be compatible with the way that regular expressions
93 * work in JavaScript. More precisely, a lonely ']' character in the pattern
94 * is a syntax error; the '\x' escape only allows 0 to 2 hexadecimal digits, and
95 * you must use the '\u' escape sequence with 4 hex digits to specify a unicode
96 * codepoint instead of '\x' or 'x{....}'. If '\x' or '\u' are not followed by
97 * the specified number of hex digits, they match 'x' and 'u' literally; also
98 * '\U' always matches 'U' instead of being an error in the pattern. Finally,
99 * pattern matching is modified so that back references to an unset subpattern
100 * group produces a match with the empty string instead of an error. See
101 * <ulink>man:pcreapi(3)</ulink> for more information.
103 * Creating and manipulating the same #GRegex structure from different
104 * threads is not a problem as #GRegex does not modify its internal
105 * state between creation and destruction, on the other hand #GMatchInfo
108 * The regular expressions low-level functionalities are obtained through
109 * the excellent <ulink url="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</ulink> library
110 * written by Philip Hazel.

854 * Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to
855 * type in data for a field with specific formatting requirements. An
856 * example might be a date in the form ddmmmyy, defined by the pattern
857 * "^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$".
858 * If the application sees the user’s keystrokes one by one, and can
859 * check that what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is
860 * able to raise an error as soon as a mistake is made.
862 * GRegex supports the concept of partial matching by means of the
863 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD flags.
864 * When they are used, the return code for
865 * g_regex_match() or g_regex_match_full() is, as usual, %TRUE
866 * for a complete match, %FALSE otherwise. But, when these functions
867 * return %FALSE, you can check if the match was partial calling
868 * g_match_info_is_partial_match().
870 * The difference between #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and
871 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD is that when a partial match is encountered
872 * with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT, matching continues to search for a
873 * possible complete match, while with #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD matching
874 * stops at the partial match.
875 * When both #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD
876 * are set, the latter takes precedence.
877 * See <ulink>man:pcrepartial</ulink> for more information on partial matching.
879 * Because of the way certain internal optimizations are implemented
880 * the partial matching algorithm cannot be used with all patterns.
881 * So repeated single characters such as "a{2,4}" and repeated single
882 * meta-sequences such as "\d+" are not permitted if the maximum number
883 * of occurrences is greater than one. Optional items such as "\d?"
884 * (where the maximum is one) are permitted. Quantifiers with any values
885 * are permitted after parentheses, so the invalid examples above can be
886 * coded thus "(a){2,4}" and "(\d)+". If #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL or
887 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD is set
888 * for a pattern that does not conform to the restrictions, matching
889 * functions return an error.
