Supported re methods
If you are familiar with Python's re module, you are ready to go. If not, you may like to check how Python's re is better than the cumbersome NSRegularExpression's APIs, by clicking at the items below.
re
re.RegexObject
re.MatchObject
More Usage Examples
Compile a RegexObject for future reuse
let regex = re.compile("this(.+)that")
Matching a pattern from beginning
if let m = regex.match("this one is different from that") {
m.group() //"this one is different from that"
m.group(1) //" one is different from "
}
Searching a pattern (first match)
if let m = regex.search("I want this one, not that one") {
m.group() //"this one, not that one"
m.group(1) //" one, not "
}
Find all occurrences of a pattern
regex.findall("this or that, this and that") // ["this or that", "this and that"]
Get match results for all occurrences of a pattern
for m in regex.finditer("this or that, this and that") {
m.group() // 1st time: "this or that", 2nd time: "this and that"
m.group(1) // 1st time: " or ", 2nd time: " and "
}
Splitting a string with pattern
let regex = re.compile("[\\+\\-\\*/]")
// By default, will split at all occurrences of the pattern
regex.split("1+2-3*4/5") // ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]
// Setting a maxsplit = 2
regex.split("1+2-3*4/5", 2) // ["1", "2", "3*4/5"]
Replacing a pattern
let regex = re.compile("[Yy]ou")
// Replacing all occurrences (2 times in this example)
regex.sub("u", "You guys go grap your food") // "u guys go grap ur food"
regex.subn("u", "You guys go grap your food") // ("u guys go grap ur food", 2)
// Setting maximum replace count = 1 (1 times in this example)
regex.sub("u", "You guys go grap your food", 1) // "u guys go grap your food"
regex.subn("u", "You guys go grap your food", 1) // ("u guys go grap your food", 1)
