rex: A quasi-quoter for typeful results of regex captures.

[ bsd3, control, library ] [ Propose Tags ] [ Report a vulnerability ]

Provides a quasi-quoter for regular expressions which yields a tuple, of appropriate arity and types, representing the results of the captures. Allows the user to specify parsers for captures as inline Haskell. Can also be used to provide typeful pattern matching in function definitions and pattern matches. Also, it precompiles the regular expressions into a PCRE compiled byte-array representation, at compile time.

Readme for rex-0.6.2

[back to package description]

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/rex

Provides a quasi-quoter for regular expressions which yields a tuple, of appropriate arity and types, representing the results of the captures. Allows the user to specify parsers for captures as inline Haskell. Can also be used to provide typeful pattern matching in function definitions and case patterns.

To build / install:

./Setup.hs configure --user
./Setup.hs build
./Setup.hs install

See the haddock or Text/Regex/PCRE/Rex.hs for documentation.

Some examples (verbatim from Test.hs):

math x = mathl x 0

mathl [] x = x
mathl [rex|^  \s*(?{ read -> y }\d+)\s*(?{ s }.*)$|] x = mathl s y
mathl [rex|^\+\s*(?{ read -> y }\d+)\s*(?{ s }.*)$|] x = mathl s $ x + y
mathl [rex|^ -\s*(?{ read -> y }\d+)\s*(?{ s }.*)$|] x = mathl s $ x - y
mathl [rex|^\*\s*(?{ read -> y }\d+)\s*(?{ s }.*)$|] x = mathl s $ x * y
mathl [rex|^ /\s*(?{ read -> y }\d+)\s*(?{ s }.*)$|] x = mathl s $ x / y
mathl str x = error str
