# module 're' -- A collection of regular expression operations
|
|
|
|
r"""Support for regular expressions (RE).
|
|
|
|
This module provides regular expression matching operations similar to
|
|
those found in Perl. It's 8-bit clean: the strings being processed may
|
|
contain both null bytes and characters whose high bit is set. Regular
|
|
expression pattern strings may not contain null bytes, but can specify
|
|
the null byte using the \\number notation. Characters with the high
|
|
bit set may be included.
|
|
|
|
Regular expressions can contain both special and ordinary
|
|
characters. Most ordinary characters, like "A", "a", or "0", are the
|
|
simplest regular expressions; they simply match themselves. You can
|
|
concatenate ordinary characters, so last matches the string 'last'.
|
|
|
|
The special characters are:
|
|
"." Matches any character except a newline.
|
|
"^" Matches the start of the string.
|
|
"$" Matches the end of the string.
|
|
"*" Matches 0 or more (greedy) repetitions of the preceding RE.
|
|
Greedy means that it will match as many repetitions as possible.
|
|
"+" Matches 1 or more (greedy) repetitions of the preceding RE.
|
|
"?" Matches 0 or 1 (greedy) of the preceding RE.
|
|
*?,+?,?? Non-greedy versions of the previous three special characters.
|
|
{m,n} Matches from m to n repetitions of the preceding RE.
|
|
{m,n}? Non-greedy version of the above.
|
|
"\\" Either escapes special characters or signals a special sequence.
|
|
[] Indicates a set of characters.
|
|
A "^" as the first character indicates a complementing set.
|
|
"|" A|B, creates an RE that will match either A or B.
|
|
(...) Matches the RE inside the parentheses.
|
|
The contents can be retrieved or matched later in the string.
|
|
(?iLmsx) Set the I, L, M, S, or X flag for the RE.
|
|
(?:...) Non-grouping version of regular parentheses.
|
|
(?P<name>...) The substring matched by the group is accessible by name.
|
|
(?P=name) Matches the text matched earlier by the group named name.
|
|
(?#...) A comment; ignored.
|
|
(?=...) Matches if ... matches next, but doesn't consume the string.
|
|
(?!...) Matches if ... doesn't match next.
|
|
|
|
The special sequences consist of "\\" and a character from the list
|
|
below. If the ordinary character is not on the list, then the
|
|
resulting RE will match the second character.
|
|
\\number Matches the contents of the group of the same number.
|
|
\\A Matches only at the start of the string.
|
|
\\Z Matches only at the end of the string.
|
|
\\b Matches the empty string, but only at the start or end of a word.
|
|
\\B Matches the empty string, but not at the start or end of a word.
|
|
\\d Matches any decimal digit; equivalent to the set [0-9].
|
|
\\D Matches any non-digit character; equivalent to the set [^0-9].
|
|
\\s Matches any whitespace character; equivalent to [ \\t\\n\\r\\f\\v].
|
|
\\S Matches any non-whitespace character; equiv. to [^ \\t\\n\\r\\f\\v].
|
|
\\w Matches any alphanumeric character; equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_].
|
|
With LOCALE, it will match the set [0-9_] plus characters defined
|
|
as letters for the current locale.
|
|
\\W Matches the complement of \\w.
|
|
\\\\ Matches a literal backslash.
|
|
|
|
This module exports the following functions:
|
|
match Match a regular expression pattern to the beginning of a string.
|
|
search Search a string for the presence of a pattern.
|
|
sub Substitute occurrences of a pattern found in a string.
|
|
subn Same as sub, but also return the number of substitutions made.
|
|
split Split a string by the occurrences of a pattern.
|
|
findall Find all occurrences of a pattern in a string.
|
|
compile Compile a pattern into a RegexObject.
|
|
escape Backslash all non-alphanumerics in a string.
|
|
|
|
This module exports the following classes:
|
|
RegexObject Holds a compiled regular expression pattern.
|
|
MatchObject Contains information about pattern matches.
|
|
|
|
Some of the functions in this module takes flags as optional parameters:
|
|
I IGNORECASE Perform case-insensitive matching.
|
|
L LOCALE Make \w, \W, \b, \B, dependent on the current locale.
|
|
M MULTILINE "^" matches the beginning of lines as well as the string.
|
|
"$" matches the end of lines as well as the string.
|
|
S DOTALL "." matches any character at all, including the newline.
|
|
X VERBOSE Ignore whitespace and comments for nicer looking RE's.
|
|
|
|
This module also defines an exception 'error'.
