24;;; Commentary:
25
26;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
27;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
28;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
29;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
30;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
31;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).
32
ccfbe679
SM
33;; This significantly extended version of the original, is almost
34;; compatible with Sregex. The only incompatibility I (fx) know of is
35;; that the `repeat' form can't have multiple regexp args.
36
37;; Now alternative forms are provided for a degree of compatibility
f47188fe
CY
38;; with Olin Shivers' attempted definitive SRE notation. SRE forms
39;; not catered for include: dsm, uncase, w/case, w/nocase, ,@<exp>,
ccfbe679
SM
40;; ,<exp>, (word ...), word+, posix-string, and character class forms.
41;; Some forms are inconsistent with SRE, either for historical reasons
42;; or because of the implementation -- simple translation into Emacs
43;; regexp strings. These include: any, word. Also, case-sensitivity
44;; and greediness are controlled by variables external to the regexp,
45;; and you need to feed the forms to the `posix-' functions to get
46;; SRE's POSIX semantics. There are probably more difficulties.
47

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

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

89;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
90;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
