26;;; Commentary:
27
28;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
29;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
30;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
31;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
32;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
33;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
34
ccfbe679
SM
35;; This significantly extended version of the original, is almost
36;; compatible with Sregex. The only incompatibility I (fx) know of is
37;; that the `repeat' form can't have multiple regexp args.
38
39;; Now alternative forms are provided for a degree of compatibility
40;; with Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation
41;; <URL:http://www.ai.mit.edu/~/shivers/sre.txt>. SRE forms not
42;; catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
43;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
44;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
45;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
46;; regexp strings. These include: any, word. Also, case-sensitivity
47;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
48;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
49;; SRE's POSIX semantics. There are probably more difficulties.

51;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
52;; usual string notation. The translation can be done at compile-time
53;; by using the `rx' macro. It can be done at run-time by calling
54;; function `rx-to-string'. See the documentation of `rx' for a
55;; complete description of the sexp notation.
56;;
57;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
58;;
59;; "^[a-z]*"
60;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
61;;
62;; "\n[^ \t]"
63;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
64;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
65;;
66;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
67;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
68;;
69;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
70;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
71;; (not (any ?_))))
72;;
73;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
74;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
75;; (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
76;;
77;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
78;; (rx (and line-start
79;; "content-transfer-encoding:"
c53f9b3b 80;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank
12c64503 81;; "quoted-printable"
c53f9b3b 82;; (+ (? ?\n)) blank))
12c64503

83;;
84;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
85;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
86;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
87;;
88;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
89;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
90;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
