    The primary regex crate does not allow look-around expressions. There is an Oniguruma binding called onig that does. SAP ABAP: SAP.com: Proprietary: Tcl: tcl.tk: Tcl/Tk License (BSD-style) Tcl library doubles as a regular expression library. Wolfram Language: Wolfram Research: Proprietary: usable for free on a limited scale on the Wolfram ...

    var x1 = 0; // A global variable, because it is not in any function let x2 = 0; // Also global, this time because it is not in any block function f {var z = 'foxes', r = 'birds'; // 2 local variables m = 'fish'; // global, because it wasn't declared anywhere before function child {var r = 'monkeys'; // This variable is local and does not affect the "birds" r of the parent function. z ...

    Let c be the number of concatenation of the regular expression E and let s be the number of symbols apart from parentheses — that is, |, *, a and ε. Then, the number of states of A is 2s − c (linear in the size of E). The number of transitions leaving any state is at most two.

  5. 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 .

  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 ...

  7. Template:Regex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Regex

    find wildcard expressions and regular expressions. A search matches what you see rendered on the screen and in a print preview. The raw "source" wikitext is searchable by employing the insource parameter. For these two kinds of searches a word is any string of consecutive letters and numbers matching a whole word or phrase.

  8. Parsing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing

    An important class of simple parsing is done using regular expressions, in which a group of regular expressions defines a regular language and a regular expression engine automatically generating a parser for that language, allowing pattern matching and extraction of text. In other contexts regular expressions are instead used prior to parsing ...

  9. Lexical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexical_analysis

    Each regular expression is associated with a production rule in the lexical grammar of the programming language that evaluates the lexemes matching the regular expression. These tools may generate source code that can be compiled and executed or construct a state transition table for a finite-state machine (which is plugged into template code ...
