    • expandReferences

      public Str expandReferences(@Nonnull Str string_to_expand) throws AllocationError
      Returns a new string containing the text in @string_to_expand with
      references and escape sequences expanded. References refer to the last
      match done with @string against @regex and have the same syntax used by
      g_regex_replace().

      The @string_to_expand must be UTF-8 encoded even if %G_REGEX_RAW was
      passed to g_regex_new().

      The backreferences are extracted from the string passed to the match
      function, so you cannot call this function after freeing the string.

      @match_info may be %NULL in which case @string_to_expand must not
      contain references. For instance "foo\n" does not refer to an actual
      pattern and '\n' merely will be replaced with \n character,
      while to expand "\0" (whole match) one needs the result of a match.
      Use g_regex_check_replacement() to find out whether @string_to_expand
      contains references.
      Parameters:
      string_to_expand - the string to expand
      Returns:
      the expanded string, or %NULL if an error occurred
      Throws:
      AllocationError
    • expandReferences

      public Str expandReferences(String string_to_expand) throws AllocationError
      Returns a new string containing the text in @string_to_expand with
      references and escape sequences expanded. References refer to the last
      match done with @string against @regex and have the same syntax used by
      g_regex_replace().

      The @string_to_expand must be UTF-8 encoded even if %G_REGEX_RAW was

      AllocationError
    • fetch

      public Str fetch(int match_num)
      Retrieves the text matching the @match_num'th capturing
      parentheses. 0 is the full text of the match, 1 is the first paren
      set, 2 the second, and so on.

      If @match_num is a valid sub pattern but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern 1, matching "b" against "(a)?b") then an empty
      string is returned.

      If the match was obtained using the DFA algorithm, that is using
      g_regex_match_all() or g_regex_match_all_full(), the retrieved
      string is not that of a set of parentheses but that of a matched
      substring. Substrings are matched in reverse order of length, so
      0 is the longest match.

      The string is fetched from the string passed to the match function,
      so you cannot call this function after freeing the string.
      Parameters:
      match_num - number of the sub expression
      Returns:
      The matched substring, or %NULL if an error occurred. You have to free the string yourself
    • fetchNamed

      public Str fetchNamed(@Nonnull Str name)
      Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named @name.

      If @name is a valid sub pattern name but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern "X", matching "b" against "(?P<X>a)?b")
      then an empty string is returned.

      The string is fetched from the string passed to the match function,
      so you cannot call this function after freeing the string.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the subexpression
      Returns:
      The matched substring, or %NULL if an error occurred. You have to free the string yourself
    • fetchNamed

      public Str fetchNamed(String name)
      Retrieves the text matching the capturing parentheses named @name.

      If @name is a valid sub pattern name but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern "X", matching "b" against "(?P<X>a)?b")
      then an empty string is returned.

      The string is fetched from the string passed to the match function,
      so you cannot call this function after freeing the string.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the subexpression
      Returns:
      The matched substring, or %NULL if an error occurred. You have to free the string yourself
    • fetchNamedPos

      public boolean fetchNamedPos(@Nonnull Str name, @Nullable Int start_pos, @Nullable Int end_pos)
      Retrieves the position in bytes of the capturing parentheses named @name.

      If @name is a valid sub pattern name but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern "X", matching "b" against "(?P<X>a)?b")
      then @start_pos and @end_pos are set to -1 and %TRUE is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the subexpression
      start_pos - pointer to location where to store the start position, or %NULL
      end_pos - pointer to location where to store the end position, or %NULL
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the position was fetched, %FALSE otherwise. If the position cannot be fetched, @start_pos and @end_pos are left unchanged.
    • fetchNamedPos

      public boolean fetchNamedPos(String name, @Nullable Int start_pos, @Nullable Int end_pos)
      Retrieves the position in bytes of the capturing parentheses named @name.

      If @name is a valid sub pattern name but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern "X", matching "b" against "(?P<X>a)?b")
      then @start_pos and @end_pos are set to -1 and %TRUE is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - name of the subexpression
      start_pos - pointer to location where to store the start position, or %NULL
      end_pos - pointer to location where to store the end position, or %NULL
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the position was fetched, %FALSE otherwise. If the position cannot be fetched, @start_pos and @end_pos are left unchanged.
    • fetchPos

      public boolean fetchPos(int match_num, @Nullable Int start_pos, @Nullable Int end_pos)
      Retrieves the position in bytes of the @match_num'th capturing
      parentheses. 0 is the full text of the match, 1 is the first
      paren set, 2 the second, and so on.

      If @match_num is a valid sub pattern but it didn't match anything
      (e.g. sub pattern 1, matching "b" against "(a)?b") then @start_pos
      and @end_pos are set to -1 and %TRUE is returned.

      If the match was obtained using the DFA algorithm, that is using
      g_regex_match_all() or g_regex_match_all_full(), the retrieved
      position is not that of a set of parentheses but that of a matched
      substring. Substrings are matched in reverse order of length, so
      0 is the longest match.
      Parameters:
      match_num - number of the sub expression
      start_pos - pointer to location where to store the start position, or %NULL
      end_pos - pointer to location where to store the end position, or %NULL
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the position was fetched, %FALSE otherwise. If the position cannot be fetched, @start_pos and @end_pos are left unchanged
    • free

      public void free()
      If @match_info is not %NULL, calls g_match_info_unref(); otherwise does
      nothing.
    • getMatchCount

      public int getMatchCount()
      Retrieves the number of matched substrings (including substring 0,
      that is the whole matched text), so 1 is returned if the pattern
      has no substrings in it and 0 is returned if the match failed.

      If the last match was obtained using the DFA algorithm, that is
      using g_regex_match_all() or g_regex_match_all_full(), the retrieved
      count is not that of the number of capturing parentheses but that of
      the number of matched substrings.
      Returns:
      Number of matched substrings, or -1 if an error occurred
    • getRegex

      public Regex getRegex()
      Returns #GRegex object used in @match_info. It belongs to Glib
      and must not be freed. Use g_regex_ref() if you need to keep it
      after you free @match_info object.
      Returns:
      #GRegex object used in @match_info
    • getString

      public Str getString()
      Returns the string searched with @match_info. This is the
      string passed to g_regex_match() or g_regex_replace() so
      you may not free it before calling this function.
      Returns:
      the string searched with @match_info
    • isPartialMatch

      public boolean isPartialMatch()
      Usually if the string passed to g_regex_match*() matches as far as
      it goes, but is too short to match the entire pattern, %FALSE is
      returned. There are circumstances where it might be helpful to
      distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no match.

      Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to
      type in data for a field with specific formatting requirements. An
      example might be a date in the form ddmmmyy, defined by the pattern
      "^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$".
      If the application sees the user’s keystrokes one by one, and can
      check that what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is
      able to raise an error as soon as a mistake is made.

      GRegex supports the concept of partial matching by means of the
      %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD flags.
      When they are used, the return code for
      g_regex_match() or g_regex_match_full() is, as usual, %TRUE
      for a complete match, %FALSE otherwise. But, when these functions
      return %FALSE, you can check if the match was partial calling
      g_match_info_is_partial_match().

      The difference between %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and
      %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD is that when a partial match is encountered
      with %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT, matching continues to search for a
      possible complete match, while with %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD matching
      stops at the partial match.
      When both %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_SOFT and %G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL_HARD
      are set, the latter takes precedence.

      There were formerly some restrictions on the pattern for partial matching.
      The restrictions no longer apply.

      See pcrepartial(3) for more information on partial matching.
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the match was partial, %FALSE otherwise
    • matches

      public boolean matches()
      Returns whether the previous match operation succeeded.
      Returns:
      %TRUE if the previous match operation succeeded, %FALSE otherwise
    • next

      public boolean next() throws AllocationError
      Scans for the next match using the same parameters of the previous
      call to g_regex_match_full() or g_regex_match() that returned
      @match_info.

      The match is done on the string passed to the match function, so you
      cannot free it before calling this function.
      Returns:
      %TRUE is the string matched, %FALSE otherwise
      Throws:
      AllocationError
    • ref

      public MatchInfo ref()
      Increases reference count of @match_info by 1.
      Returns:
      @match_info
    • unref

      public void unref()
      Decreases reference count of @match_info by 1. When reference count drops
      to zero, it frees all the memory associated with the match_info structure.
