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 ;; " "

492 The following are valid subforms of regular expressions in sexp
493 notation.
494
495 STRING
496 matches string STRING literally.
497
498 CHAR
499 matches character CHAR literally.
500
501 `not-newline'
502 matches any character except a newline.
503 .
504 `anything'
505 matches any character
506
507 `(any SET)'
508 matches any character in SET. SET may be a character or string.
509 Ranges of characters can be specified as `A-Z' in strings.
510
511 '(in SET)'
512 like `any'.
513
514 `(not (any SET))'
515 matches any character not in SET
516
517 `line-start'
518 matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of a line
519 in the text being matched
520
521 `line-end'
522 is similar to `line-start' but matches only at the end of a line
523
524 `string-start'
525 matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of the
526 string being matched against.
527
528 `string-end'
529 matches the empty string, but only at the end of the
530 string being matched against.
531
532 `buffer-start'
533 matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of the
534 buffer being matched against.
535
536 `buffer-end'
537 matches the empty string, but only at the end of the
538 buffer being matched against.
539
540 `point'
541 matches the empty string, but only at point.
542
543 `word-start'
544 matches the empty string, but only at the beginning or end of a
545 word.
546
547 `word-end'
548 matches the empty string, but only at the end of a word.
