/*
Regular-expression matching library for Arduino.
Written by Nick Gammon.
Date: 30 April 2011
Heavily based on the Lua regular expression matching library written by Roberto Ierusalimschy.
Adapted to run on the Arduino by Nick Gammon.
VERSION
Version 1.0 - 30th April 2011 : initial release.
Version 1.1 - 1st May 2011 : added some helper functions, made more modular.
Version 1.2 - 19th May 2011 : added more helper functions for replacing etc.

USAGE
Find the first match of the regular expression "pattern" in the supplied string, starting at position "index".
If found, returns REGEXP_MATCHED (1).
Also match_start and match_len in the MatchState structure are set to the start offset and length of the match.
The capture in the MatchState structure has the locations and lengths of each capture.
If not found, returns REGEXP_NOMATCH (0).
On a parsing error (eg. trailing % symbol) returns a negative number.
EXAMPLE OF CALLING ON THE ARDUINO
// ------------------------------------- //
#include <Regexp.h>
void setup ()
{
Serial.begin (115200);
Serial.println ();
MatchState ms;
char buf [100]; // large enough to hold expected string, or malloc it
// string we are searching
ms.Target ("Testing: answer=42");
// search it
char result = ms.Match ("(%a+)=(%d+)", 0);
// check results
switch (result)
{
case REGEXP_MATCHED:
Serial.println ("-----");
Serial.print ("Matched on: ");
Serial.println (ms.GetMatch (buf));
// matching offsets in ms.capture
Serial.print ("Captures: ");
Serial.println (ms.level);
for (int j = 0; j < ms.level; j++)
{
Serial.print ("Capture number: ");
Serial.println (j + 1, DEC);
Serial.print ("Text: '");
Serial.print (ms.GetCapture (buf, j));
Serial.println ("'");
}
break;
case REGEXP_NOMATCH:
Serial.println ("No match.");
break;
default:
Serial.print ("Regexp error: ");
Serial.println (result, DEC);
break;
} // end of switch
} // end of setup
void loop () {} // end of loop
// ------------------------------------- //
PATTERNS
Patterns
The standard patterns (character classes) you can search for are:
. --- (a dot) represents all characters.
%a --- all letters.
%c --- all control characters.
%d --- all digits.
%l --- all lowercase letters.
%p --- all punctuation characters.
%s --- all space characters.
%u --- all uppercase letters.
%w --- all alphanumeric characters.
%x --- all hexadecimal digits.
%z --- the character with hex representation 0x00 (null).
%% --- a single '%' character.
%1 --- captured pattern 1.
%2 --- captured pattern 2 (and so on).
%f[s] transition from not in set 's' to in set 's'.
%b() balanced pair ( ... )
Important! - the uppercase versions of the above represent the complement of the class.
eg. %U represents everything except uppercase letters, %D represents everything except digits.
There are some "magic characters" (such as %) that have special meanings. These are:
^ $ ( ) % . [ ] * + - ?
If you want to use those in a pattern (as themselves) you must precede them by a % symbol.
eg. %% would match a single %
You can build your own pattern classes (sets) by using square brackets, eg.
[abc] ---> matches a, b or c
[a-z] ---> matches lowercase letters (same as %l)
[^abc] ---> matches anything except a, b or c
[%a%d] ---> matches all letters and digits
[%a%d_] ---> matches all letters, digits and underscore
[%[%]] ---> matches square brackets (had to escape them with %)
You can use pattern classes in the form %x in the set.
If you use other characters (like periods and brackets, etc.) they are simply themselves.
You can specify a range of character inside a set by using simple characters (not pattern classes like %a) separated by a hyphen.
For example, [A-Z] or [0-9]. These can be combined with other things. For example [A-Z0-9] or [A-Z,.].
A end-points of a range must be given in ascending order. That is, [A-Z] would match upper-case letters, but [Z-A] would not match anything.
You can negate a set by starting it with a "^" symbol, thus [^0-9] is everything except the digits 0 to 9.
The negation applies to the whole set, so [^%a%d] would match anything except letters or digits.
In anywhere except the first position of a set, the "^" symbol is simply itself.
Inside a set (that is a sequence delimited by square brackets) the only "magic" characters are:
] ---> to end the set, unless preceded by %
% ---> to introduce a character class (like %a), or magic character (like "]")
^ ---> in the first position only, to negate the set (eg. [^A-Z)
- ---> between two characters, to specify a range (eg. [A-F])
Thus, inside a set, characters like "." and "?" are just themselves.
The repetition characters, which can follow a character, class or set, are:
+ ---> 1 or more repetitions (greedy)
* ---> 0 or more repetitions (greedy)
- ---> 0 or more repetitions (non greedy)
? ---> 0 or 1 repetition only
A "greedy" match will match on as many characters as possible, a non-greedy one will match on as few as possible.
The standard "anchor" characters apply:
^ ---> anchor to start of subject string
$ ---> anchor to end of subject string
You can also use round brackets to specify "captures":
You see (.*) here
Here, whatever matches (.*) becomes the first pattern.
You can also refer to matched substrings (captures) later on in an expression:
eg. This would match:
string = "You see dogs and dogs"
regexp = "You see (.*) and %1"
This example shows how you can look for a repetition of a word matched earlier, whatever that word was ("dogs" in this case).
As a special case, an empty capture string returns as the captured pattern, the position of itself in the string. eg.
string = "You see dogs and dogs"
regexp = "You .* ()dogs .*"
This would return a capture with an offset of 8, and a length of CAP_POSITION (-2)
Finally you can look for nested "balanced" things (such as parentheses) by using %b, like this:
string = "I see a (big fish (swimming) in the pond) here"
regexp = "%b()"
After %b you put 2 characters, which indicate the start and end of the balanced pair.
If it finds a nested version it keeps processing until we are back at the top level.
In this case the matching string was "(big fish (swimming) in the pond)".
