Haxe VerbalExpressions

Haxe Regular Expressions made easy

VerbalExpressions is a Haxe library that helps to construct difficult regular expressions. Ported from the awesome JavaScript VerbalExpressions. This project wraps around the Haxe EReg class.

Getting started

Clone the project or download the sources.

Basic usage of Verbal Expressions is trough new expressions.VerbalExpression():

myExpression = new expressions.VerbalExpression();

Examples

Testing valid URLs

expression = new expressions.VerbalExpression()
tartOfLine()
hen("http")
aybe("s")
hen("://")
aybe("www.")
nythingBut(" ")
ndOfLine();

url = "https://www.haxe.org/";
est if the url matches
expression.isMatch(url)) {
ace('$url is a valid URL');
se {
ace('$url is an invalid URL');


e(expression.toString()); 
ogs the regular expression source: ^(http)(s)?(://)(www.)?([^{ }]*)$

ession.toRegex(); 
he Haxe EReg instance

Replacing strings

result:String = new expressions.VerbalExpression()
.find("bird")
.replace("Replace bird with a duck", "duck");

e(result); 
ogs "Replace duck with a duck"

Status

| Haxe target | status | |————-|——–| | Haxe interpreter | works | | C++ | works | | C# | works | | Java | compiles but has errors | | JavaScript | works | | Neko | works | | PHP | works | | Python | works | | Flash | works |
