[04:50] *** stanrifkin_ joined [04:52] *** stanrifkin left [15:33] *** Manifest0 joined [15:34] Hi! I'm trying to create a regular expression that will match the string "attrib='hello \"world\"!'" [15:35] I came up with /\w+ '=' (<["'" '"']>) (.*?) $0/ but i get several warnings such as: Quotes are not metacharacters in character classes, Repeated character (") unexpectedly found in character class, and Repeated character (') unexpectedly found in character class [15:35] How do i fix my regex to not have such warnings? [15:59] Manifest0 - let me take a look [16:01] iirc there is a special raku re syntax for matching balanced chars [16:09] i didn't find anything in the documentation [16:09] hmm - maybe that's only for Grammar tokens ... sorry [16:10] m: say q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / (\w+) '=' '(.*)' / [16:10] ｢attrib='hello "world"!'｣ 0 => ｢attrib｣ 1 => ｢hello "world"!｣ [16:10] ^ is this what you have in mind? [16:11] I am guessing that you want the result captured as name, value and that the double quotes are part of the value Str [16:12] kind of. The part after the =, can start with a ' or " [16:12] PS I am using the q-lang syntax q|xxx| at least to strip the outer quotes to try and reduce "quote noise" [16:12] like a xml attribute [16:13] m: print (q[attrib='hello "world"!'] ~~ / <-[=]>+ '=' (<["']>) (.*?) $0/)[1] [16:13] rakudo-moar 7c412a11b: OUTPUT: «hello "world"!» [16:14] lucs, that seems to work :-) [16:15] m: print (q[attrib='hello "world"!'] ~~ / (<["']>) (.*?) $0/)[1] [16:15] rakudo-moar 7c412a11b: OUTPUT: «hello "world"!» [16:17] what does the '?after' do ? [16:18] m: say ( q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / $=[<-[=]>] '=' '$=[.]' / ) [16:18] ｢hello "world"!｣ [16:19] m: say ~( q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / $=[<-[=]>] '=' '$=[.]' / ) [16:19] Use of Nil in string context in block at main.raku line 1 [16:19] m: say ( q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / $=[<-[=]>] '=' '$=[.]' / ).Str [16:19] Use of Nil in string context in block at main.raku line 1 [16:19] This "say ( q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / $=[<-[=]>] '=' '$=[.]' / )" doesn't work in my raku [16:19] Manifest0: I'ts a zero-width assertion that matches after what is indicated. [16:19] oh Disrod bridge lost my * [16:20] Yeah, Discord vs IRC: don't always agree 🙂 [16:20] ~( q|attrib='hello "world"!'| ~~ / $=[<-[=]>*] '=' \'$=[.*]\' /) [16:24] m: my $s = q|attrib='hello "world"!'|; my regex name { <-[=]>* }; my regex value { .* }; say ~($s ~~ / '=' /); [16:24] 'hello "world"!' [16:29] m: my $s = q|attrib='hello "world"!'|; my regex name { <-[=]>* }; my regex value { .* }; say ~($s ~~ / '=' ''/); [16:29] hello "world"! [16:30] oops I forgot to strip the value ' [16:30] m: my $s = q|attrib='hello "world"!'|; my regex name { <-[=]>* }; my regex value { .* }; say ~($s ~~ / '=' \'\' /); [16:31] sorry for the overkill - I just wanted to see how this would look with nested named regexs [16:36] no worries. [16:36] I'm playing now with the lucs solution - with the zero width assertions, since i don't know how them [16:41] my $s = q|attrib="hello 'world'!"|; say ~($s ~~ / [$ = <-[=]>] '=' (<['"]>) [$ = (.*?)] $0/); [16:42] btw I was curious (friday afternoon!) and found this https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Tilde_for_nesting_structures [16:42] Hmm... Does it account for balancing? [16:45] https://docs.raku.org/language/regexes#Recursive_Regexes [16:45] yes [16:45] I should have kept reading apparently 🙂 [16:45] m: my $paren = rx/ '(' <-[()]>* ')' || '('[ <-[()]>* <~~> <-[()]>* ]* ')' /; say '((5 + 2) × 6) = 42 (the answer)' ~~ $paren; [16:45] ｢((5 + 2) × 6)｣ [16:48] well I probably have more to learn ;-) [16:49] I'm always amazed by how much stuff I can do with Raku compared to how much more of it I need to learn.
