  2. RE/flex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re/flex

    Besides the built-in RE/flex POSIX regex pattern matcher, RE/flex also supports PCRE2, Boost.Regex and std::regex pattern matching libraries. PCRE2 and Boost.Regex offer a richer regular expression pattern syntax with Perl pattern matching semantics, but are slower due to their intrinsic NFA-based matching algorithm.

  3. Regular expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression

    Algebraic laws for regular expressions can be obtained using a method by Gischer which is best explained along an example: In order to check whether (X+Y) * and (X * Y *) * denote the same regular language, for all regular expressions X, Y, it is necessary and sufficient to check whether the particular regular expressions (a+b) * and (a * b ...

  4. Help:Searching/Regex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Searching/Regex

    A regex search scans the text of each page on Wikipedia in real time, character by character, to find pages that match a specific sequence or pattern of characters. Unlike keyword searching, regex searching is by default case-sensitive, does not ignore punctuation, and operates directly on the page source (MediaWiki markup) rather than on the ...

  5. Pattern matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_matching

    f n = n * f (n-1) Here, the first n is a single variable pattern, which will match absolutely any argument and bind it to name n to be used in the rest of the definition. In Haskell (unlike at least Hope ), patterns are tried in order so the first definition still applies in the very specific case of the input being 0, while for any other ...

  6. String-searching algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String-searching_algorithm

    For example, one might wish to find all occurrences of a "word" despite it having alternate spellings, prefixes or suffixes, etc. Another more complex type of search is regular expression searching, where the user constructs a pattern of characters or other symbols, and any match to the pattern should fulfill the search. For example, to catch ...

  7. RE2 (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RE2_(software)

    RE2 is a software library which implements a regular expression engine. It uses finite-state machines, in contrast to most other regular expression libraries. RE2 supports a C++ interface. RE2 was implemented by Google and Google uses RE2 for Google products. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleene_star

    If is either the empty set ∅ or the singleton set {}, then = {}; if is any other finite set or countably infinite set, then is a countably infinite set. [1] As a consequence, each formal language over a finite or countably infinite alphabet Σ {\displaystyle \Sigma } is countable, since it is a subset of the countably infinite set Σ ∗ ...

  9. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    Different approximate matchers impose different constraints. Some matchers use a single global unweighted cost, that is, the total number of primitive operations necessary to convert the match to the pattern. For example, if the pattern is coil, foil differs by one substitution, coils by one insertion, oil by one deletion, and foal by two ...
