Examples of org.apache.xerces.utils.regex.RegularExpression

org.apache.xerces.utils.regex.RegularExpression

can refer captured texts with methods of the Match class. }

Case-insensitive matching

 RegularExpression re = new RegularExpression(regex, "i"); if (re.matches(text) >= 0) { ...}

Options

You can specify options to RegularExpression(regex, options) or setPattern(regex, options). This options parameter consists of the following characters.

"i": This option indicates case-insensitive matching.
"m": ^ and $ consider the EOL characters within the text.
"s": . matches any one character.
"u": Redefines \d \D \w \W \s \S \b \B \< \> as becoming to Unicode.
"w": By this option, \b \B \< \> are processed with the method of 'Unicode Regular Expression Guidelines' Revision 4. When "w" and "u" are specified at the same time, \b \B \< \> are processed for the "w" option.
",": The parser treats a comma in a character class as a range separator. [a,b] matches a or , or b without this option. [a,b] matches a or b with this option.
"X": By this option, the engine confoms to XML Schema: Regular Expression. The match() method does not do subsring matching but entire string matching.

Syntax

Differences from the Perl 5 regular expression

There is 6-digit hexadecimal character representation (\u005cvHHHHHH.)
Supports subtraction, union, and intersection operations for character classes.
Not supported: \ooo (Octal character representations), \G, \C, \lc, \u005cuc, \L, \U, \E, \Q, \N{name}, (?{code}), (??{code})

Meta characters are `. * + ? { [ ( ) | \ ^ $'.

Character

. (A period)
Matches any one character except the following characters.
LINE FEED (U+000A), CARRIAGE RETURN (U+000D), PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR (U+2029), LINE SEPARATOR (U+2028)
This expression matches one code point in Unicode. It can match a pair of surrogates.
When the "s" option is specified, it matches any character including the above four characters.
\e \f \n \r \t
Matches ESCAPE (U+001B), FORM FEED (U+000C), LINE FEED (U+000A), CARRIAGE RETURN (U+000D), HORIZONTAL TABULATION (U+0009)
\cC
Matches a control character. The C must be one of '@', 'A'-'Z', '[', '\u005c', ']', '^', '_'. It matches a control character of which the character code is less than the character code of the C by 0x0040.
For example, a \cJ matches a LINE FEED (U+000A), and a \c[ matches an ESCAPE (U+001B).
a non-meta character
Matches the character.
\ + a meta character
Matches the meta character.
\u005cxHH \u005cx{HHHH}
Matches a character of which code point is HH (Hexadecimal) in Unicode. You can write just 2 digits for \u005cxHH, and variable length digits for \u005cx{HHHH}.
\u005cvHHHHHH
Matches a character of which code point is HHHHHH (Hexadecimal) in Unicode.
\g
Matches a grapheme.
It is equivalent to (?[\p{ASSIGNED}]-[\p{M}\p{C}])?(?:\p{M}|[\x{094D}\x{09CD}\x{0A4D}\x{0ACD}\x{0B3D}\x{0BCD}\x{0C4D}\x{0CCD}\x{0D4D}\x{0E3A}\x{0F84}]\p{L}|[\x{1160}-\x{11A7}]|[\x{11A8}-\x{11FF}]|[\x{FF9E}\x{FF9F}])*
\X
Matches a combining character sequence. It is equivalent to (?:\PM\pM*)
Character class
+ *
[R₁R₂...R_n] (without "," option) + *
[R₁,R₂,...,R_n] (with "," option)
Positive character class. It matches a character in ranges.
R_n:
- A character (including \e \f \n \r \t \u005cxHH \u005cx{HHHH} \u005cvHHHHHH)
  This range matches the character.
- C₁-C₂
  This range matches a character which has a code point that is >= C₁'s code point and <= C₂'s code point. + *
- A POSIX character class: [:alpha:] [:alnum:] [:ascii:] [:cntrl:] [:digit:] [:graph:] [:lower:] [:print:] [:punct:] [:space:] [:upper:] [:xdigit:], + * and negative POSIX character classes in Perl like [:^alpha:]
  ...
- \d \D \s \S \w \W \p{name} \P{name}
  These expressions specifies the same ranges as the following expressions.
Enumerated ranges are merged (union operation). [a-ec-z] is equivalent to [a-z]
[^R₁R₂...R_n] (without a "," option)
[^R₁,R₂,...,R_n] (with a "," option)
Negative character class. It matches a character not in ranges.
(?[ranges]op[ranges]op[ranges] ... ) (op is - or + or &.)
Subtraction or union or intersection for character classes.
For exmaple, (?[A-Z]-[CF]) is equivalent to [A-BD-EG-Z], and (?[0x00-0x7f]-[K]&[\p{Lu}]) is equivalent to [A-JL-Z].
The result of this operations is a positive character class even if an expression includes any negative character classes. You have to take care on this in case-insensitive matching. For instance, (?[^b]) is equivalent to [\x00-ac-\x{10ffff}], which is equivalent to [^b] in case-sensitive matching. But, in case-insensitive matching, (?[^b]) matches any character because it includes 'B' and 'B' matches 'b' though [^b] is processed as [^Bb].
[R₁R₂...-[R_nR_n+1...]] (with an "X" option)

Character class subtraction for the XML Schema. You can use this syntax when you specify an "X" option.
\d
Equivalent to [0-9].
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to \p{Nd}.
\D
Equivalent to [^0-9]
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to \P{Nd}.
\s
Equivalent to [ \f\n\r\t]
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to [ \f\n\r\t\p{Z}].
\S
Equivalent to [^ \f\n\r\t]
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to [^ \f\n\r\t\p{Z}].
\w
Equivalent to [a-zA-Z0-9_]
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to [\p{Lu}\p{Ll}\p{Lo}\p{Nd}_].
\W
Equivalent to [^a-zA-Z0-9_]
When a "u" option is set, it is equivalent to [^\p{Lu}\p{Ll}\p{Lo}\p{Nd}_].

(?:X)
Grouping. "foo+" matches "foo" or "foooo". If you want it matches "foofoo" or "foofoofoo", you have to write "(?:foo)+".
(X)
Grouping with capturing. It make a group and applications can know where in target text a group matched with methods of a Match instance after matches(String,Match). The 0th group means whole of this regular expression. The Nth gorup is the inside of the Nth left parenthesis.
For instance, a regular expression is " *([^<:]*) +<([^>]*)> *" and target text is "From: TAMURA Kent <kent@trl.ibm.co.jp>":
- Match.getCapturedText(0): " TAMURA Kent <kent@trl.ibm.co.jp>"
- Match.getCapturedText(1): "TAMURA Kent"
- Match.getCapturedText(2): "kent@trl.ibm.co.jp"
\1 \2 \3 \4 \5 \6 \7 \8 \9

(?>X)
Independent expression group. ................
(?options:X)
(?options-options2:X)
............................
The options or the options2 consists of 'i' 'm' 's' 'w'. Note that it can not contain 'u'.
(?options)

......
These expressions must be at the beginning of a group.
Anchor

\A
Matches the beginnig of the text.
\Z
Matches the end of the text, or before an EOL character at the end of the text, or CARRIAGE RETURN + LINE FEED at the end of the text.
\z
Matches the end of the text.
^
Matches the beginning of the text. It is equivalent to \A.
When a "m" option is set, it matches the beginning of the text, or after one of EOL characters ( LINE FEED (U+000A), CARRIAGE RETURN (U+000D), LINE SEPARATOR (U+2028), PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR (U+2029).)
