\stmodindex{regsub}
|
||
|
|
This module defines a number of functions useful for working with
|
||
|
|
regular expressions (see built-in module \code{regex}).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module regsub)}
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{sub}{pat\, repl\, str}
|
||
|
|
Replace the first occurrence of pattern \var{pat} in string
|
||
|
|
\var{str} by replacement \var{repl}. If the pattern isn't found,
|
||
|
|
the string is returned unchanged. The pattern may be a string or an
|
||
|
|
already compiled pattern. The replacement may contain references
|
||
|
|
\samp{\e \var{digit}} to subpatterns and escaped backslashes.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{gsub}{pat\, repl\, str}
|
||
|
|
Replace all (non-overlapping) occurrences of pattern \var{pat} in
|
||
|
|
string \var{str} by replacement \var{repl}. The same rules as for
|
||
|
|
\code{sub()} apply. Empty matches for the pattern are replaced only
|
||
|
|
when not adjacent to a previous match, so e.g.
|
||
|
|
\code{gsub('', '-', 'abc')} returns \code{'-a-b-c-'}.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{split}{str\, pat}
|
||
|
|
Split the string \var{str} in fields separated by delimiters matching
|
||
|
|
the pattern \var{pat}, and return a list containing the fields. Only
|
||
|
|
non-empty matches for the pattern are considered, so e.g.
|
||
|
|
\code{split('a:b', ':*')} returns \code{['a', 'b']} and
|
||
|
|
\code{split('abc', '')} returns \code{['abc']}.
|
||
|
|
\end{funcdesc}
