Constructor & Destructor Documentation

regular_expression_replace::regular_expression_replace	(	size_t	limit = 100,
		size_t	limit_defs_expansion = 100
	)

Parameters:

	limit	limit on number of search and replace done
	limit_defs_expansion	limit on number of expansion done during replacement of regular definition name by their expansion

build an object holding regular defintion and regular expression & replace, preparing it for substitution ala sed

Member Function Documentation

void regular_expression_replace::add_definition	(	std::string const &	name,
		std::string const &	replace
	)

Parameters:

	name	a regular definition name
	replace	the string to subsitute in other regular definition or regular exepression when this regular defintion name is encoutered.

void regular_expression_replace::add_pattern	(	std::string const &	pattern,
		std::string const &	replace
	)

Parameters:

	pattern	a regular expression pattern, POSIX extended notation
	replace	the replace string to use when this regular expression is matched

You can imbed regular definition in pattern but not in replace.

bool regular_expression_replace::execute

(

std::string &

str

)

const

Parameters:

str

the input/output string where we search pattern and replace them.

Execute loop at max limit time on the set of regular expression

Return true if too many match occur and replacing has been stopped due to reach limit_defs_expansion. You can test if some pattern has been matched by saving the input string and comparing it to the new value. There is no way to detect s/a/a because the output string will be identical to the input string.
