Search the regex that fits all querying strings.
Project description
Search the regex that fits all querying strings.
-
Dozens of pre-written regexes are indexed and organized as a partial order, available in
regexorder/templates.json
. -
The regex of all the querying strings' least upper bound in the partial order is returned.
-
templates.svg
plots the partial order.
The core part is the pre-written regexes and their respective structure. Currently they only cover the most common cases.
- Any idea or contribution is highly welcome.
Reference
This library is part of the implementation for our research paper to be submitted.
Installation
This package is available on PyPI. Just use pip3 install -U RegexOrder
to install it.
Our regexes utilize some advanced Unicode features, that are not available in standard re
library yet. Thus, the more advanced regex
library must be used to match our regexes.
Examples
from regexorder import RegexOrder
r = RegexOrder()
t = r.match("123")
t.name
# 'pos_int'
t.regex
# '\\+?\\d+'
t = r.matchall(["apple", "banana", "cheese cake"])
t.name
# 'lower_words'
t.regex
# '\\p{Ll}+(\\s+\\p{Ll}+)*'
