Functions

compile

Optimize and compile a regular expression into a representation that can be directly used for matching with match_re().

match_re

Match a regular expression compiled with compile() against a string. Returns a tuple of a boolean (whether there was a match or partial match) and a vector of (position, length) tuples for all submatches, where the first element describes the match by the whole regular expression.

match_re_str

Parse, compile, and match a regular expression. Not recommended for repeated use, as the regular expression will be compiled every time. Use compile() and match_re() to make this more efficient (about 3x faster).

render_graph

Render the state machine generated from re as graphviz dot input. The result can be pasted into visualize.sh, which renders a PNG image from it.

substring

Easily take a substring from a match tuple.
