Method Detail
-
print
public String print(String tab)
Returns a String-representation of this regular expression with the specified indentation.- Parameters:
tab
- a String that should contain only space characters and that is inserted in front of standard String-representation pf this object.- Returns:
- a
String
object.
-
typeName
public String typeName()
String representation of the type of this regular expression.
-
isCharClass
public boolean isCharClass()
Find out if this regexp is a char class or equivalent to one.- Returns:
- true if the regexp is equivalent to a char class.
-
size
public int size(Macros macros)
The approximate number of NFA states this expression will need (only works correctly after macro expansion and without negation)- Parameters:
macros
- macro table for expansion- Returns:
- a int.
-
resolveTilde
public final RegExp resolveTilde()
Recursively convert tilde (upto) expressions into negation and star.- Returns:
- new RegExp equivalent to the current one, but without upto expressions.
-
anyChar
public static RegExp anyChar()
Returns a regexp that matches any character:[^]
- Returns:
- the regexp for
[^]
-
checkPrimClass
public static RegExp1 checkPrimClass(RegExp r)
Confirms that the parameter is a RegExp1 of type sym.PRIMCLASS.- Parameters:
r
- the RegExp to check- Returns:
- r cast to RegExp1
- Throws:
CharClassException
- if r is not a RegExp1 or of type sym.PRIMCLASS.
-
performClassOp
public static IntCharSet performClassOp(int op, IntCharSet l, IntCharSet r, RegExp ctxt)
Performs the given set operation on the twoIntCharSet
parameters.- Parameters:
op
- the operation to perform (as @{link sym} constant)l
- the left operator of the expressionr
- the right operator of the expressionctxt
- the regular expression containing the provided operator- Returns:
- a new
IntCharSet
- Throws:
RegExpException
- forctxt
if the operator is not supported
-
normalise
public final RegExp normalise(Macros m)
Normalise the regular expression to eliminate macro use (expand them), and compound character class expression (compute their content).- Returns:
- a regexp that contains only
IntCharSet
char classes and nosym.MACROUSE
.
-
makeCCLs
public final void makeCCLs(CharClasses c, boolean caseless)
Make character class partitions based on the classes mentioned in this regexp.Assumption: regexp is normalised.
-
rev
public final RegExp rev()
Creates a new regexp that matches the reverse text of this one.- Returns:
- the reverse regexp
