Macro regex

regex!() { /* proc-macro */ }

Compiles a regular expression into a Rust type.

Returns a MatcherN struct where N is the number of capturing groups.

Specify the type of the expected matcher so your editor can show its functions and documentation: let matcher: Matcher0<_> = regex!(br".").

Examples

use safe_regex::{regex, Matcher0};
let matcher: Matcher0<_> =
    regex!(br"[ab][0-9]*");
assert!(matcher.is_match(b"a42"));
assert!(!matcher.is_match(b"X"));

use safe_regex::{regex, Matcher3};
let matcher: Matcher3<_> =
    regex!(br"([ab])([0-9]*)(suffix)?");
let (prefix, digits, suffix) =
    matcher.match_slices(b"a42").unwrap();
assert_eq!(b"a", prefix);
assert_eq!(b"42", digits);
assert_eq!(b"", suffix);
let (prefix_range, digits_r, suffix_r)
    = matcher.match_ranges(b"a42").unwrap();
assert_eq!(0..1_usize, prefix_range);
assert_eq!(1..3_usize, digits_r);
assert_eq!(0..0_usize, suffix_r);
