iOS中NSRegularExpression使用

NSRegularExpression的使用

1.生成

+ (NSRegularExpression *)regularExpressionWithPattern:(NSString *)pattern options:(NSRegularExpressionOptions)options error:(NSError **)error;

pattern即是正则表达式的模式字符串

+ (NSString *)escapedPatternForString:(NSString *)string

该函数用来将模式字符串中的特殊字符通过添加“\”进行处理

如@“$abc”->@"\\$abc"因为“\”本身需要转义，所以是两个反斜杆。

1     NSError *error = nil;
2     NSRegularExpression     *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"^ac" options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&error];
3     NSString *string = @"acbcadf^f";
4     string = [NSRegularExpression escapedPatternForString:string];
5     NSUInteger numberOfMatches = [regex numberOfMatchesInString:string options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, string.length)];\\numberOfMatches == 1

 

The NSRegularExpression class is used to represent and apply regular expressions to Unicode strings. An instance of this class is an immutable representation of a compiled regular expression pattern and various option flags. The pattern syntax currently supported is that specified by ICU. The ICU regular expressions are described at http://userguide.icu-project.org/strings/regexp.

The fundamental matching method for NSRegularExpression is a Block iterator method that allows clients to supply a Block object which will be invoked each time the regular expression matches a portion of the target string. There are additional convenience methods for returning all the matches as an array, the total number of matches, the first match, and the range of the first match.

An individual match is represented by an instance of the NSTextCheckingResult class, which carries information about the overall matched range (via its range property), and the range of each individual capture group (via the rangeAtIndex: method). For basic NSRegularExpression objects, these match results will be of type NSTextCheckingTypeRegularExpression, but subclasses may use other types.

Examples Using NSRegularExpression

What follows are a set of graduated examples for using the NSRegularExpression class. All these examples use the regular expression \\b(a|b)(c|d)\\b as their regular expression.

This snippet creates a regular expression to match two-letter words, in which the first letter is “a” or “b” and the second letter is “c” or “d”. Specifying NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive means that matches will be case-insensitive, so this will match “BC”, “aD”, and so forth, as well as their lower-case equivalents.

  • NSError *error = NULL;
  • NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"\\b(a|b)(c|d)\\b"
  • options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
  • error:&error];

The numberOfMatchesInString:options:range: method provides a simple mechanism for counting the number of matches in a given range of a string.

  • NSUInteger numberOfMatches = [regex numberOfMatchesInString:string
  • options:0
  • range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];

If you are interested only in the overall range of the first match, the rangeOfFirstMatchInString:options:range: method provides it for you. Some regular expressions (though not the example pattern) can successfully match a zero-length range, so the comparison of the resulting range with {NSNotFound, 0} is the most reliable way to determine whether there was a match or not.

The example regular expression contains two capture groups, corresponding to the two sets of parentheses, one for the first letter, and one for the second. If you are interested in more than just the overall matched range, you want to obtain an NSTextCheckingResult object corresponding to a given match. This object provides information about the overall matched range, via its range property, and also supplies the capture group ranges, via the rangeAtIndex: method. The first capture group range is given by [result rangeAtIndex:1], the second by [result rangeAtIndex:2]. Sending a result the  rangeAtIndex: message and passing 0 is equivalent to [result range].

If the result returned is non-nil, then [result range] will always be a valid range, so it is not necessary to compare it against {NSNotFound, 0}. However, for some regular expressions (though not the example pattern) some capture groups may or may not participate in a given match. If a given capture group does not participate in a given match, then [result rangeAtIndex:idx] will return {NSNotFound, 0}.

  • NSRange rangeOfFirstMatch = [regex rangeOfFirstMatchInString:string options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
  • if (!NSEqualRanges(rangeOfFirstMatch, NSMakeRange(NSNotFound, 0))) {
  • NSString *substringForFirstMatch = [string substringWithRange:rangeOfFirstMatch];
  • }

The matchesInString:options:range: returns all the matching results.

  • NSArray *matches = [regex matchesInString:string
  • options:0
  • range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
  • for (NSTextCheckingResult *match in matches) {
  • NSRange matchRange = [match range];
  • NSRange firstHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:1];
  • NSRange secondHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:2];
  • }

The firstMatchInString:options:range: method is similar to matchesInString:options:range: but it returns only the first match.

  • NSTextCheckingResult *match = [regex firstMatchInString:string
  • options:0
  • range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])];
  • if (match) {
  • NSRange matchRange = [match range];
  • NSRange firstHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:1];
  • NSRange secondHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:2];
  • }
  • }

The Block enumeration method enumerateMatchesInString:options:range:usingBlock: is the most general and flexible of the matching methods of NSRegularExpression. It allows you to iterate through matches in a string, performing arbitrary actions on each as specified by the code in the Block and to stop partway through if desired. In the following example case, the iteration is stopped after a certain number of matches have been found. 

If neither of the special options NSMatchingReportProgress or NSMatchingReportCompletion is specified, then the result argument to the Block is guaranteed to be non-nil, and as mentioned before, it is guaranteed to have a valid overall range. See NSMatchingOptions for the significance of NSMatchingReportProgress or NSMatchingReportCompletion.

  • __block NSUInteger count = 0;
  • [regex enumerateMatchesInString:string options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length]) usingBlock:^(NSTextCheckingResult *match, NSMatchingFlags flags, BOOL *stop){
  • NSRange matchRange = [match range];
  • NSRange firstHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:1];
  • NSRange secondHalfRange = [match rangeAtIndex:2];
  • if (++count >= 100) *stop = YES;
  • }];

NSRegularExpression also provides simple methods for performing find-and-replace operations on a string. The following example returns a modified copy, but there is a corresponding method for modifying a mutable string in place. The template specifies what is to be used to replace each match, with $0 representing the contents of the overall matched range, $1 representing the contents of the first capture group, and so on. In this case, the template reverses the two letters of the word.

  • NSString *modifiedString = [regex stringByReplacingMatchesInString:string
  • options:0
  • range:NSMakeRange(0, [string length])
  • withTemplate:@"$2$1"];

Concurrency and Thread Safety

NSRegularExpression is designed to be immutable and thread safe, so that a single instance can be used in matching operations on multiple threads at once. However, the string on which it is operating should not be mutated during the course of a matching operation, whether from another thread or from within the Block used in the iteration.

Regular Expression Syntax

The following tables describe the character expressions used by the regular expression to match patterns within a string, the pattern operators that specify how many times a pattern is matched and additional matching restrictions, and the last table specifies flags that can be included in the regular expression pattern that specify search behavior over multiple lines (these flags can also be specified using the NSRegularExpressionOptions option flags.

Regular Expression Metacharacters

Table 1 describe the character sequences used to match characters within a string.

(?:...)

Non-capturing parentheses. Groups the included pattern, but does not provide capturing of matching text. Somewhat more efficient than capturing parentheses.

(?>...)

Atomic-match parentheses. First match of the parenthesized subexpression is the only one tried; if it does not lead to an overall pattern match, back up the search for a match to a position before the "(?>"

(?# ... )

Free-format comment (?# comment ).

(?= ... )

Look-ahead assertion. True if the parenthesized pattern matches at the current input position, but does not advance the input position.

(?! ... )

Negative look-ahead assertion. True if the parenthesized pattern does not match at the current input position. Does not advance the input position.

(?<= ... )

Look-behind assertion. True if the parenthesized pattern matches text preceding the current input position, with the last character of the match being the input character just before the current position. Does not alter the input position. The length of possible strings matched by the look-behind pattern must not be unbounded (no * or + operators.)

(?<! ... )

Negative Look-behind assertion. True if the parenthesized pattern does not match text preceding the current input position, with the last character of the match being the input character just before the current position. Does not alter the input position. The length of possible strings matched by the look-behind pattern must not be unbounded (no * or + operators.)

(?ismwx-ismwx:...)

Flag settings. Evaluate the parenthesized expression with the specified flags enabled or -disabled. The flags are defined in Flag Options.

(?ismwx-ismwx)

Flag settings. Change the flag settings. Changes apply to the portion of the pattern following the setting. For example, (?i) changes to a case insensitive match.The flags are defined in Flag Options.

Template Matching Format

The NSRegularExpression class provides find-and-replace methods for both immutable and mutable strings using the technique of template matching. Table 3 describes the syntax.

Table 3Template Matching Format

Character

Descriptions

$n

The text of capture group n will be substituted for $n. n must be >= 0 and not greater than the number of capture groups. A $ not followed by a digit has no special meaning, and will appear in the substitution text as itself, a $.

\

Treat the following character as a literal, suppressing any special meaning. Backslash escaping in substitution text is only required for '$' and '\', but may be used on any other character without bad effects.

The replacement string is treated as a template, with $0 being replaced by the contents of the matched range, $1 by the contents of the first capture group, and so on. Additional digits beyond the maximum required to represent the number of capture groups will be treated as ordinary characters, as will a $ not followed by digits. Backslash will escape both $ and \.

Flag Options

The following flags control various aspects of regular expression matching. These flag values may be specified within the pattern using the (?ismx-ismx) pattern options. Equivalent behaviors can be specified for the entire pattern when an NSRegularExpression is initialized, using the NSRegularExpressionOptions option flags.

Table 4Flag Options

Flag (Pattern)

Description

i

If set, matching will take place in a case-insensitive manner.

x

If set, allow use of white space and #comments within patterns

s

If set, a "." in a pattern will match a line terminator in the input text. By default, it will not. Note that a carriage-return / line-feed pair in text behave as a single line terminator, and will match a single "." in a regular expression pattern

m

Control the behavior of "^" and "$" in a pattern. By default these will only match at the start and end, respectively, of the input text. If this flag is set, "^" and "$" will also match at the start and end of each line within the input text.

Para

Controls the behavior of \b in a pattern. If set, word boundaries are found according to the definitions of word found in Unicode UAX 29, Text Boundaries. By default, word boundaries are identified by means of a simple classification of characters as either “word” or “non-word”, which approximates traditional regular expression behavior. The results obtained with the two options can be quite different in runs of spaces and other non-word characters.

    Discussion

    For clients implementing their own replace functionality, this is a method to perform the template substitution for a single result, given the string from which the result was matched, an offset to be added to the location of the result in the string (for example, in cases that modifications to the string moved the result since it was matched), and a replacement template.

    This is an advanced method that is used only if you wanted to iterate through a list of matches yourself and do the template replacement for each one, plus maybe some other calculation that you want to do in code, then you would use this at each step.

    Constants

    • NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive

      Match letters in the pattern independent of case.

      Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

    • NSRegularExpressionAllowCommentsAndWhitespace

      Ignore whitespace and #-prefixed comments in the pattern.

      Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

      Available in iOS 4.0 and later.

    • NSRegularExpressionAnchorsMatchLines

      Allow ^ and $ to match the start and end of lines.
