  2. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    A regular expression (shortened as regex or regexp), [1] sometimes referred to as rational expression, [2] [3] is a sequence of characters that specifies a match pattern in text. Usually such patterns are used by string-searching algorithms for "find" or "find and replace" operations on strings, or for input validation.

    contains(string,substring) returns boolean Description Returns whether string contains substring as a substring. This is equivalent to using Find and then detecting that it does not result in the failure condition listed in the third column of the Find section. However, some languages have a simpler way of expressing this test. Related

  5. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    In many programming languages, a particular syntax of strings is used to represent regular expressions, which are patterns describing string characters. However, it is possible to perform some string pattern matching within the same framework that has been discussed throughout this article.

  6. Comparison of parser generators - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_parser...

    Regular languages are a category of languages (sometimes termed Chomsky Type 3) which can be matched by a state machine (more specifically, by a deterministic finite automaton or a nondeterministic finite automaton) constructed from a regular expression. In particular, a regular language can match constructs like "A follows B", "Either A or B ...

    A fuzzy Mediawiki search for "angry emoticon" has as a suggested result "andré emotions" In computer science, approximate string matching (often colloquially referred to as fuzzy string searching) is the technique of finding strings that match a pattern approximately (rather than exactly).

  8. Pumping lemma for regular languages - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_lemma_for_regular...

    For every long enough string in a regular language, there must be a middle section (y) that can be repeated (or pumped) any number of times to produce a string still in the language. In the theory of formal languages , the pumping lemma for regular languages is a lemma that describes an essential property of all regular languages .
