compile
|
Regexp.compile( pattern
[, options [
lang
]
] )
-> aRegexp
|
|
Synonym for Regexp.new.
|
|
escape
|
Regexp.escape( aString )
-> aNewString
|
|
Escapes any characters that would have special meaning in a
regular expression. For any string,
Regexp.escape(str)=~str
will be true.
Regexp.escape('\\*?{}.')
|
» |
\\\\\*\?\{\}\.
|
|
|
last_match
|
Regexp.last_match
-> aMatchData
|
|
Returns the MatchData object generated by the last
successful pattern match. Equivalent to reading the global
variable $~. MatchData is described
on page 336.
|
|
new
|
Regexp.new( pattern
[, options [
lang
]
] )
-> aRegexp
|
|
Constructs a new regular expression from pattern, which can
be either a String or a Regexp (in which case that
regexp's options are not propagated). If options is
a Fixnum, it should be one or more of the constants
Regexp::EXTENDED, Regexp::IGNORECASE, and
Regexp::POSIXLINE, or-ed together.
Otherwise, if options is not
nil, the regexp will be case insensitive. The lang
parameter enables multibyte support for the regexp: `n', `N' = none,
`e', `E' = EUC, `s', `S' = SJIS, `u',
`U' = UTF-8.
r1 = Regexp.new('^a-z+:\\s+\w+')
|
» |
/^a-z+:\s+\w+/
|
r2 = Regexp.new(r1, true)
|
» |
/^a-z+:\s+\w+/i
|
r3 = Regexp.new(r2, Regexp::EXTENDED)
|
» |
/^a-z+:\s+\w+/x
|
|
|
quote
|
Regexp.quote( aString )
-> aNewString
|
|
Synonym for Regexp.escape.

==
|
rxp == aRegexp
-> true or false
|
|
Equality---Two regexps are equal if their patterns are identical, they have
the same character set code, and their casefold? values are
the same.
/abc/ == /abc/x
|
» |
false
|
/abc/ == /abc/i
|
» |
false
|
/abc/u == /abc/n
|
» |
false
|
|
|
===
|
rxp === aString -> true or false
|
|
Case Equality---Synonym for
Regexp#=~
used in case statements.
a = "HELLO"
case a
when /^a-z*$/; print "Lower case\n"
when /^A-Z*$/; print "Upper case\n"
else; print "Mixed case\n"
end
|
produces:
|
|
=~
|
rxp =~ aString
-> anInteger or nil
|
|
Match---Matches rxp against aString, returning the offset
of the start of the match or nil if the match failed.
/SIT/ =~ "insensitive"
|
» |
nil
|
/SIT/i =~ "insensitive"
|
» |
5
|
|
|
~
|
~ rxp
-> anInteger or nil
|
|
Match---Matches rxp against the contents of $_. Equivalent to
rxp =~ $_.
$_ = "input data"
|
~ /at/

|
|
|
casefold?
|
rxp.casefold? -> true or false
|
|
Returns the value of the case-insensitive flag.
|
|
kcode
|
rxp.kcode -> aString
|
|
Returns the character set code for the regexp.
|
|
match
|
rxp.match(aString)
-> aMatchData or nil
|
|
Returns a MatchData object (see page 336)
describing the match, or nil if there was no match. This
is equivalent to retrieving the value of the special variable
$~ following a normal match.
/(.)(.)(.)/.match("abc")[2]
|
» |
"b"
|
|
|
source
|
rxp.source -> aString
|
|
Returns the original string of the pattern.
