Revision history for Regexp-Wildcards
+0.04 2007-06-20 19:00 UTC
+ + Add : You can supply $^O as the type for wc2re, which will wrap to
+ wc2re_win32 for 'dos', 'os2', 'MSWin32', 'cygwin', and to
+ wc2re_unix in all the other cases.
+ + Add : Generated regexps can now capture the interesting bits of the
+ wildcard expression via the configuration variables
+ $CaptureSingle, $CaptureAny and $CaptureBrackets (see pod)
+ + Add : Corresponding pod & tests

SYNOPSIS
use Regexp::Wildcards qw/wc2re/;
and uses the backspace ("\") as an escape character. Wrappers are
provided to mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells.
+VARIABLES
+ These variables control if the wildcards jokers and brackets must
+ capture their match. They can be globally set by writing in your program
+
+ $Regexp::Wildcards::CaptureAny = -1;
+ # From then, '*' jokers are capturing
+
+ or can be locally specified via "local"
+
+ {
+ local $Regexp::Wildcards::CaptureAny = -1;
+ # In this block, the '*' joker is capturing.
+ ...
+ }
+ # Back to the situation from before the block
+
+ This section describes also how those elements are translated by the
+ functions.
+
+ $CaptureSingle
+ When this variable is true, each occurence of the unescaped "?" joker is
+ made capturing in the resulting regexp (they are be replaced by "(.)").
+ Otherwise, they are just replaced by ".". Default is the latter.
+
+ 'a???b\\??' is translated to 'a(.)(.)(.)b\\?(.)' if $CaptureSingle is true
+ 'a...b\\?.' otherwise (default)
+
+ $CaptureAny
+ By default this variable is false, and successions of unescaped "*"
+ jokers are replaced by one single ".*". When it evalutes to true, those
+ sequences of "*" are made into one capture, which is greedy ("(.*)") for
+ "$CaptureAny > 0" and otherwise non-greedy ("(.*?)").
+
+ 'a***b\\**' is translated to 'a.*b\\*.*' if $CaptureAny is false (default)
+ 'a(.*)b\\*(.*)' if $CaptureAny > 0
+ 'a(.*?)b\\*(.*?)' otherwise
+
+ $CaptureBrackets
+ If this variable is set to true, valid brackets constructs are made into
+ "( | )" captures, and otherwise they are replaced by non-capturing
+ alternations ("(?: | ")), which is the default.
+
+ 'a{b\\},\\{c}' is translated to 'a(b\\}|\\{c)' if $CaptureBrackets is true
+ 'a(?:b\\}|\\{c)' otherwise (default)
+
FUNCTIONS
- "wc2re_unix"
+ "wc2re_jokers"
This function takes as its only argument the wildcard string to process,
- and returns the corresponding regular expression according to standard
- Unix wildcard rules. It successively escapes all unprotected regexp
- special characters that doesn't hold any meaning for wildcards, turns
- jokers into their regexp equivalents, and changes bracketed blocks into
- "(?:|)" alternations. If brackets are unbalanced, it will try to
- substitute as many of them as possible, and then escape the remaining
- "{" and "}". Commas outside of any bracket-delimited block will also be
- escaped.
+ and returns the corresponding regular expression where the jokers "?"
+ and "*" have been translated into their regexp equivalents (see
+ "VARIABLES" for more details). All other unprotected regexp
+ metacharacters are escaped.
+
+ # Everything is escaped.
+ print 'ok' if wc2re_jokers('{a{b,c}d,e}') eq '\\{a\\{b\\,c\\}d\\,e\\}';
+
+ "wc2re_unix"
+ Similar to the precedent, but this one conforms to standard Unix shell
+ wildcard rules. It successively escapes all unprotected regexp special
+ characters that doesn't hold any meaning for wildcards, turns jokers
+ into their regexp equivalents (see "wc2re_jokers"), and changes
+ bracketed blocks into (possibly capturing) alternations as described in
+ "VARIABLES". If brackets are unbalanced, it tries to substitute as many
+ of them as possible, and then escape the remaining "{" and "}". Commas
+ outside of any bracket-delimited block are also escaped.
# This is a valid bracket expression, and is completely translated.
print 'ok' if wc2re_unix('{a{b,c}d,e}') eq '(?:a(?:b|c)d|e)';
print 'ok' if wc2re_unix('{a{b,c\\}d,e}') eq '\\{a\\{b\\,c\\}d\\,e\\}';
"wc2re_win32"
- Similar to the precedent, but for Windows wildcards. Bracketed blocks
- are no longer handled (which means that brackets will be escaped), but
- you can provide a comma-separated list of items.
+ This one works just like the two before, but for Windows wildcards.
+ Bracketed blocks are no longer handled (which means that brackets are
+ escaped), but you can provide a comma-separated list of items.
# All the brackets are escaped, and commas are seen as list delimiters.
print 'ok' if wc2re_win32('{a{b,c}d,e}') eq '(?:\\{a\\{b|c\\}d|e\\})';
- "wc2re_jokers"
- This one only handles the "?" and "*" jokers. All other unquoted regexp
- metacharacters will be escaped.
-
- # Everything is escaped.
- print 'ok' if wc2re_jokers('{a{b,c}d,e}') eq '\\{a\\{b\\,c\\}d\\,e\\}';

"wc2re"
A generic function that wraps around all the different rules. The first
argument is the wildcard expression, and the second one is the type of
- rules to apply, currently either "unix", "win32" or "jokers". If the
- type is undefined, it defaults to "unix".
+ rules to apply which can be :
+
+ 'unix', 'win32', 'jokers'
+ For one of those raw rule names, "wc2re" simply maps to
+ "wc2re_unix", "wc2re_win32" and "wc2re_jokers" respectively.
+
+ $^O If you supply the Perl operating system name, the call is deferred
+ to "wc2re_win32" for $^O equal to 'dos', 'os2', 'MSWin32' or
+ 'cygwin', and to "wc2re_unix" in all the other cases.
+
+ If the type is undefined or not supported, it defaults to 'unix'.
+
+ # Wraps to wc2re_jokers ($re eq 'a\\{b\\,c\\}.*').
+ $re = wc2re 'a{b,c}*' => 'jokers';
+
+ # Wraps to wc2re_win32 ($re eq '(?:a\\{b|c\\}.*)')
+ # or wc2re_unix ($re eq 'a(?:b|c).*') depending on $^O.
+ $re = wc2re 'a{b,c}*' => $^O;

=head1 SYNOPSIS
In many situations, users may want to specify patterns to match but don't need the full power of regexps. Wildcards make one of those sets of simplified rules. This module converts wildcard expressions to Perl regular expressions, so that you can use them for matching. It handles the C<*> and C<?> jokers, as well as Unix bracketed alternatives C<{,}>, and uses the backspace (C<\>) as an escape character. Wrappers are provided to mimic the behaviour of Windows and Unix shells.
