| Text.Regex.Base. | Base | :: module |
| regex-base | Classes and instances for Regex matching. This module merely imports and re-exports the common part of the new api: Text.Regex.Base.RegexLike and Text.Regex.Base.Context. To see what result types the instances of RegexContext can produce, please read the Text.Regex.Base.Context haddock documentation. This does not provide any of the backends, just the common interface they all use. The modules which provide the backends and their cabal packages are:
In fact, just importing one of the backends is adequate, you do not also need to import this module. TODO: Copy Example*hs files into this haddock comment | |
| Text.Regex.Posix. | Posix | :: module |
| regex-posix | Module that provides the Regex backend that wraps the c posix regex api. This is the backend being used by the regex-compat package to replace Text.Regex The Text.Regex.Posix module provides a backend for regular expressions. If you import this along with other backends, then you should do so with qualified imports, perhaps renamed for convenience. If the This module is only efficient with A Note that the posix library works with single byte characters, and does not understand Unicode. If you need Unicode support you will have to use a different backend. When offsets are reported for subexpression captures, a subexpression
that did not match anything (as opposed to matching an empty string)
will have its offset set to the Benchmarking shows the default regex library on many platforms is very inefficient. You might increase performace by an order of magnitude by obtaining libpcre and regex-pcre or libtre and regex-tre. If you do not need the captured substrings then you can also get great performance from regex-dfa. If you do need the capture substrings then you may be able to use regex-parsec to improve performance. | |
| Text.Regex. | splitRegex | :: Regex -> String -> [String] |
| regex-compat | Splits a string based on a regular expression. The regular expression should identify one delimiter. This does not advance and produces an infinite list of [] if the regex matches an empty string. This misfeature is here to match the behavior of the the original Text.Regex API. | |
| Text.Regex. | subRegex | :: Regex -> String -> String -> String |
| regex-compat | Replaces every occurance of the given regexp with the replacement string. In the replacement string, This does not advance if the regex matches an empty string. This misfeature is here to match the behavior of the the original Text.Regex API. | |
| Text.Regex. | Regex | :: module |
| regex-compat | Regular expression matching. Uses the POSIX regular expression interface in Text.Regex.Posix. | |
