Module documentation for 0.6.2

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

Changes

Changelog

0.6.2

  • Now compiles with GHC-9.2. See [#14][]

0.6.1

  • Now compiles with GHC-8.10. See #13

0.6

  • Made the generated code total. See #10

0.5.1 (2014-02-20)

  • Made the type of the default ‘rexView’ fully polymorphic.

0.5: (2014-02-20)

  • Changed the configuration datatype to allow custom preprocessing of expr / pat antiquotes. The default match processing is now “rexView”, an identifier that can be shadowed locally or hidden on import.

  • Removed ‘maybeRead’.

0.4.3: (2013-12-21)

  • Patch from aavogt! to use haskell-src-exts to parse view patterns.

  • Miscellaneous code cleanups.

0.4.2: (2013-02-04)

0.4: (2012-10-11)

  • Made configuration into a datatype.

0.3: (2011-09-25)

  • Fixed a capture indexing bug, where capture fields which aren’t bound would cause subsequent bound captures to be incorrect.

  • Above bug fix actually neatened up code.

  • Added configuration of default mapping pattern.

0.2: (2011-09-24)

  • Added custom configuration of PCRE options.

  • Added non-precompiling quasiquoters.

  • Fixed a bug where patterns with no captures would fail.

  • Decided to remove the defaulting to ‘read’ - too much magic.

0.1: (2011-07-25)

  • initial release
