Methods in ru.lanwen.verbalregex that return VerbalExpression.Builder

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.add(String pValue) Append literal expression Everything added to the expression should go trough this method (keep in mind when creating your own methods).
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.add(VerbalExpression.Builder regex) Append a regex from builder and wrap it with unnamed group (?: ...
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.addModifier(char pModifier)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.any(String value) Shortcut to anyOf(String)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.anyOf(String pValue)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.anything() Add expression that matches anything (includes empty string)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.anythingBut(String pValue) Add expression that matches anything, but not passed argument
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.atLeast(int from) Produce range count with only minimal number of occurrences for example: .find("w").atLeast(1) // produce (?:w){1,}
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.br() Shortcut for lineBreak()
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.capt() Shortcut for capture()
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.capture() Adds capture - open brace to current position and closed to suffixes
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.count(int count) Add count of previous group for example: .find("w").count(3) // produce - (?:w){3}
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.count(int from, int to) Produce range count for example: .find("w").count(1, 3) // produce (?:w){1,3}
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.digit() Add same as [0-9]
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.endCapt() Shortcut for endCapture()
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.endCapture() Close brace for previous capture and remove last closed brace from suffixes Can be used to continue build regex after capture or to add multiply captures
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.endGr() Closes current unnamed and unmatching group Shortcut for endCapture() Use it with group() for prettify code Example: regex().group().maybe("word").count(2).endGr()
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.endOfLine() Mark the expression to end at the last character of the line Same as endOfLine(boolean) with true arg
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.endOfLine(boolean pEnable) Enable or disable the expression to end at the last character of the line
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.find(String value) Add a string to the expression Syntax sugar for then(String) - use it in case: regex().find("string") // when it goes first
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.group() Same as capture(), but don't save result May be used to set count of duplicated captures, without creating a new saved capture Example: // Without group() - count(2) applies only to second capture regex().group() .capt().range("0", "1").endCapt().tab() .capt().digit().count(5).endCapt() .endGr().count(2);
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.lineBreak() Add universal line break expression
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.maybe(String pValue) Add a string to the expression that might appear once (or not) Example: The following matches all strings that contain http:// or https:// VerbalExpression regex = regex() .find("http") .maybe("s") .then("://") .anythingBut(" ").build(); regex.test("http://") //true regex.test("https://") //true
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.maybe(VerbalExpression.Builder regex) Add a regex to the expression that might appear once (or not) Example: The following matches all names that have a prefix or not.
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.multiple(String pValue, int... count) Convenient method to show that string usage count is exact count, range count or simply one or more Usage: regex().multiply("abc") // Produce (?:abc)+ regex().multiply("abc", null) // Produce (?:abc)+ regex().multiply("abc", (int)from) // Produce (?:abc){from} regex().multiply("abc", (int)from, (int)to) // Produce (?:abc){from, to} regex().multiply("abc", (int)from, (int)to, (int)...) // Produce (?:abc)+
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.nonDigit() Add non-digit: [^0-9]
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.nonSpace() Add non-whitespace character: [^\s]
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.nonWordChar() Add non-word character: [^\w]
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.oneOf(String... pValues) Adds an alternative expression to be matched based on an array of values
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.oneOrMore() Adds "+" char to regexp Same effect as atLeast(int) with "1" argument Also, used by multiple(String, int...) when second argument is null, or have length more than 2
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.or(String pValue) Add a alternative expression to be matched Issue #32
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.range(String... pArgs) Add expression to match a range (or multiply ranges) Usage: .range(from, to [, from, to ...
static VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.regex() Creates new instance of VerbalExpression builder
static VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.regex(VerbalExpression.Builder pBuilder) Creates new instance of VerbalExpression builder from cloned builder
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.removeModifier(char pModifier)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.searchOneLine(boolean pEnable)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.something() Add expression that matches something that might appear once (or more)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.somethingButNot(String pValue)
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.space() Add whitespace character, same as [ \t\n\x0B\f\r]
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.startOfLine() Mark the expression to start at the beginning of the line Same as startOfLine(boolean) with true arg
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.startOfLine(boolean pEnable) Enable or disable the expression to start at the beginning of the line
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.tab() Add expression to match a tab character (' ')
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.then(String pValue) Add a string to the expression
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.withAnyCase() Turn ON matching with ignoring case Example: // matches "a" // matches "A" regex().find("a").withAnyCase()
VerbalExpression.Builder	VerbalExpression.Builder.withAnyCase(boolean pEnable)
