Ultra-simple human readable DSL for matching text.
Project description
SimEx is a substitute for regular expressions that lets you write non-developer readable/writeable matching expressions.
It is sometimes, but not always, more suitable than writing regular expressions directly.
To install:
$ pip install simex
To use:
>>> from simex import simex
>>> LINK_EXPRESSION = """<a href="{{ url }}">{{ anything }}</a>"""
>>> exp = simex(LINK_EXPRESSION, regexes={"url": r"(.*?)", "anything": r".*?"})
>>> exp.match("""<a href="http://www.cnn.com">CNN</a>""") is not None
True
>>> exp = simex(LINK_EXPRESSION, regexes={"url": r"(.*?)"})
>>> exp.match("""<a href="http://www.cnn.com">{{ anything }}</a>""") is not None
True
>>> exp = simex(LINK_EXPRESSION, regexes={"url": r"(.*?)"})
>>> exp.search("""Pre text <a href="http://x.com">{{ anything }}</a> post text""") is not None
True
