Information
![match with regex block](http://static.miraheze.org/pmodwiki/thumb/9/9a/Block_5_26_2023-3_14_00_PM.png/590px-Block_5_26_2023-3_14_00_PM.png)
The match regex block is a reporter block that matches a string with a regular expression, a regex.
Use
This block searches for every instance of the selected rule. The rule can be inserted into the second input box. The third input box acts as a ? (please add what this input box does)
Examples
Foo bar example
![match with regex: first example](http://static.miraheze.org/pmodwiki/e/e2/MatchWithRegex_Example1.png)
In this example inputs of the block it searches for the string "foo" in the string "foo bar" which will result in the array ["foo"] since there is only one foo in the string.
Fruit example
![match with regex: second example](http://static.miraheze.org/pmodwiki/thumb/c/ce/MatchWithRegex_Example2.png/300px-MatchWithRegex_Example2.png)
For this example the block searches for every occurance of the word "banana" which results in the array ["banana","banana","banana"].
Regular expression rule syntax
The rules of regular expressions have their own syntax which you can all look up on this website.
The examples will appear as: [to be matched string] [rule] [third input] -> [result]
meta characters | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
. | This is the syntax for any character | ["gray grey griy gary"] ["gr.y"] ["g"] -> ["gray", "grey", "griy"] |
() | groups a set of characters | No actual change to the result, will be needed later on |
+ | matches the preceding character or group one or more times | ["abbbbbba aba aa"] ["ab+a"] ["g"] -> ["abbbbbba","aba"] |
? | matches the preceding character or group zero or one times | ["aba aa abba abbbba"] ["a?ba"] ["g"] -> ["aba","aa"] |
* | matches the preceding character or group any amount of times | ["aba aa abbbbbbbba abbbbbbbbbbbbba"] ["ab*a"] ["g"] -> ["aba", "aa", "abbbbbbbba", "abbbbbbbbbbbbba"] |
{M,N} | matches the preceding character or group
a minimum of M to a naximum of N times |
["aba abbba abbbbba abbbbbbbbbbba"] ["ab{3,5}a"] ["g"] -> ["abbba","abbbbba"] |
{,N} | matches the preceding character or group a maximum of N times | ["aba abbba abbbbba abbbbbbbbbbba"] ["ab{,5}a"] ["g"] -> ["aba", "abbba", "abbbbba"] |
{M,} | matches the preceding character or group a minimum of M times | ["aba abbba abbbbba abbbbbbbbbbba"] ["ab{3,}a"] ["g"] -> ["abbba", "abbbbba", "abbbbbbbbbbba"] |
{N} | matches the preceding character or group exactly N times | ["aba abbba abbbbba abbbbbbbbbbba"] ["ab{3}a"] ["g"] -> ["abbba"] |
[...] | syntax for any characters or group within the rectangular parenthesis | ["Hello Hallo Hmllo Hkllo"] ["H[ea]llo"] ["g"] -> ["Hello","Hallo"].
This can also used like this: ["Hello Hallo Hmllo Hkllo"] ["H[a-k]llo"] ["g] -> ["Hello","Hallo", "Hkllo"]. which acts as every letter in the alphabet from a to k |
| | seperating possible character or groups | ["gray grey griy gary"] ["(gray|grey|griy)"] ["g"] -> ["gray", "grey", "griy"] |
\w | syntax for all Alphanumericals (a-z A-Z 0-9 and _) | ["This is a_text90§!"] ["\w"] ["g"] -> ["T","h","i","s","i","s","a","_","t","e","x","t","9","0"] |
\W | syntax for all non-Alphanumericals not (a-z A-Z 0-9 and _) | ["This is a_text90§!"] ["\W"] ["g"] -> ["§","!"] |
