## Introduction, differences with PCRE
## Introduction
Here are the assumptions made during the writing of the implementation, that
are valid for all the `regex` module features:
1. The matching stops at the end of the string, *not* at newline characters.
2. The basic atomic elements of this regex engine are the tokens.
In a query string a simple character is a token.
## Differences with PCRE:
NB: We must point out that the **V-Regex module is not PCRE compliant** and thus
some behaviour will be different. This difference is due to the V philosophy,
to have one way and keep it simple.
The first thing we must point out is that the **V-Regex module is not PCRE compliant** and
thus some behaviour will be different.
This module is born upon the V philosophy to have one way and keep it simple.
The main differences can be summarized in the following points:
- The basic element **is the token not the sequence of symbols**, the most simple token
is simple char.
- The basic element **is the token not the sequence of symbols**, and the most
simple token, is a single character.
- `|` **OR operator act on token,** for example `abc|ebc` is not `abc` OR `ebc` it
is evaluated like `ab` followed by `c OR e` followed by`bc`, this because the **token is
the base element** not the sequence of symbols.
- The **match operation stop at the end of the string** not at the new line chars.
- `|` **the OR operator acts on tokens,** for example `abc|ebc` is not
`abc` OR `ebc`. Instead it is evaluated like `ab`, followed by `c OR e`,
followed by `bc`, because the **token is the base element**,
not the sequence of symbols.
Further information can be found in the other part of this document.
- The **match operation stops at the end of the string**. It does *NOT* stop
at new line characters.
## Basic assumption
In this release, during the writing of the code some assumptions are made
and are valid for all the features.
1. The matching stops at the end of the string not at the newline chars.
2. The basic elements of this regex engine are the tokens,
in a query string a simple char is a token. The token is the atomic unit of this regex engine.
## Match positional limiter
The module supports the following features:
- `$` `^` delimiter
`^` (Caret.) Matches at the start of the string
`$` Matches at the end of the string
## Tokens
The tokens are the atomic units used by this regex engine and can be ones of the following:
The tokens are the atomic units, used by this regex engine.
They can be one of the following:
### Simple char
this token is a simple single character like `a`.
This token is a simple single character like `a` or `b` etc.
### Match positional delimiters
`^` Matches the start of the string.
`$` Matches the end of the string.
### Char class (cc)
The cc matches all the chars specified inside, it is delimited by square brackets `[ ]`
The character classes match all the chars specified inside. Use square
brackets `[ ]` to enclose them.
the sequence of chars in the class is evaluated with an OR operation.
The sequence of the chars in the character class, is evaluated with an OR op.
For example, the following cc `[abc]` matches any char that is `a` or `b` or `c`
but doesn't match `C` or `z`.
For example, the cc `[abc]`, matches any character, that is `a` or `b` or `c`,
but it doesn't match `C` or `z`.
Inside a cc is possible to specify a "range" of chars,
for example `[ad-f]` is equivalent to write `[adef]`.
Inside a cc, it is possible to specify a "range" of characters, for example
`[ad-h]` is equivalent to writing `[adefgh]`.
A cc can have different ranges at the same time like `[a-zA-z0-9]` that matches all the lowercase,
uppercase and numeric chars.
A cc can have different ranges at the same time, for example `[a-zA-z0-9]`
matches all the latin lowercase, uppercase and numeric characters.
It is possible negate the cc using the caret char at the start of the cc like: `[^abc]`
that matches every char that is not `a` or `b` or `c`.
It is possible to negate the meaning of a cc, using the caret char at the
start of the cc like this: `[^abc]` . That matches every char that is NOT
`a` or `b` or `c`.
A cc can contain meta-chars like: `[a-z\d]` that matches all the lowercase latin chars `a-z`
and all the digits `\d`.
A cc can contain meta-chars like: `[a-z\d]`, that match all the lowercase
latin chars `a-z` and all the digits `\d`.
It is possible to mix all the properties of the char class together.
**Note:** In order to match the `-` (minus) char, it must be preceded by a backslash
in the cc, for example `[\-_\d\a]` will match `-` minus, `_`underscore, `\d` numeric chars,
NB: In order to match the `-` (minus) char, it must be preceded by
a backslash in the cc, for example `[\-_\d\a]` will match:
`-` minus,
`_` underscore,
`\d` numeric chars,
`\a` lower case chars.
### Meta-chars
A meta-char is specified by a backslash before a char like `\w` in this case the meta-char is `w`.
A meta-char is specified by a backslash, before a character.
For example `\w` is the meta-char `w`.
A meta-char can match different type of chars.
A meta-char can match different types of characters.
* `\w` matches an alphanumeric char `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`
* `\W` matches a non alphanumeric char

### Quantifier
Each token can have a quantifier that specify how many times the char can or must be matched.
Each token can have a quantifier, that specifies how many times the character
must be matched.
#### **Short quantifier**
#### **Short quantifiers**
- `?` matches 0 or 1 time, `a?b` matches both `ab` or `b`
- `+` matches at minimum 1 time, `a+` matches both `aaa` or `a`
- `*` matches 0 or more time, `a*b` matches both `aaab` or `ab` or `b`
- `+` matches *at least* 1 time, for example, `a+` matches both `aaa` or `a`
- `*` matches 0 or more times, for example, `a*b` matches `aaab`, `ab` or `b`
#### **Long quantifier**
#### **Long quantifiers**
- `{x}` matches exactly x time, `a{2}` matches `aa` but doesn't match `aaa` or `a`
- `{min,}` matches at minimum min time, `a{2,}` matches `aaa` or `aa` but doesn't match `a`
- `{,max}` matches at least 0 time and maximum max time,
`a{,2}` matches `a` and `aa` but doesn't match `aaa`
- `{min,max}` matches from min times to max times,
`a{2,3}` matches `aa` and `aaa` but doesn't match `a` or `aaaa`
- `{x}` matches exactly x times, `a{2}` matches `aa`, but not `aaa` or `a`
- `{min,}` matches at least min times, `a{2,}` matches `aaa` or `aa`, not `a`
- `{,max}` matches at least 0 times and at maximum max times,
for example, `a{,2}` matches `a` and `aa`, but doesn't match `aaa`
- `{min,max}` matches from min times, to max times, for example
`a{2,3}` matches `aa` and `aaa`, but doesn't match `a` or `aaaa`
a long quantifier may have a `greedy off` flag that is the `?` char after the brackets,
`{2,4}?` means to match the minimum number possible tokens in this case 2.
A long quantifier, may have a `greedy off` flag, that is the `?`

### dot char
### Dot char
the dot is a particular meta char that matches "any char",
is more simple explain it with an example:
The dot is a particular meta-char, that matches "any char".
suppose to have `abccc ddeef` as source string to parse with regex,
the following table show the query strings and the result of parsing source string.
It is simpler to explain it with an example:
Suppose you have `abccc ddeef` as a source string, that you want to parse
with a regex. The following table show the query strings and the result of
parsing source string.
+--------------+-------------+
| query string | result |
| ------------ | ------ |
|--------------|-------------|
| `.*c` | `abc` |
| `.*dd` | `abcc dd` |
| `ab.*e` | `abccc dde` |
| `ab.{3} .*e` | `abccc dde` |
+--------------+-------------+
the dot char matches any char until the next token match is satisfied.
The dot matches any character, until the next token match is satisfied.
### OR token
the token `|` is a logic OR operation between two consecutive tokens,
`a|b` matches a char that is `a` or `b`.
The token `|`, means a logic OR operation between two consecutive tokens,
i.e. `a|b` matches a character that is `a` or `b`.
The OR token can work in a "chained way": `a|(b)|cd ` test first `a` if the char is not `a`
then test the group `(b)` and if the group doesn't match test the token `c`.
The OR token can work in a "chained way": `a|(b)|cd ` means test first `a`,
if the char is not `a`, then test the group `(b)`, and if the group doesn't
match too, finally test the token `c`.
**note: The OR work at token level! It doesn't work at concatenation level!**
NB: ** unlike in PCRE, the OR operation works at token level!**
It doesn't work at concatenation level!
A query string like `abc|bde` is not equal to `(abc)|(bde)`!!
The OR work only on `c|b` not at char concatenation level.
That also means, that a query string like `abc|bde` is not equal to
`(abc)|(bde)`, but instead to `ab(c|b)de.
The OR operation works only for `c|b`, not at char concatenation level.
### Groups
Groups are a method to create complex patterns with repetition of blocks of tokens.
The groups are delimited by round brackets `( )`,
groups can be nested and can have a quantifier as all the tokens.
Groups are a method to create complex patterns with repetitions of blocks
of tokens. The groups are delimited by round brackets `( )`. Groups can be
nested. Like all other tokens, groups can have a quantifier too.
`c(pa)+z` match `cpapaz` or `cpaz` or `cpapapaz` .
`(c(pa)+z ?)+` matches `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` or `cpapaz`
let analyze this last case, first we have the group `#0`
that are the most outer round brackets `(...)+`,
this group has a quantifier that say to match its content at least one time `+`.
Lets analyze this last case, first we have the group `#0`, that is the most
outer round brackets `(...)+`. This group has a quantifier `+`, that say to
match its content *at least one time*.
After we have a simple char token `c` and a second group that is the number `#1` :`(pa)+`,
this group try to match the sequence `pa` at least one time as specified by the `+` quantifier.
Then we have a simple char token `c`, and a second group `#1`: `(pa)+`.
This group also tries to match the sequence `pa`, *at least one time*,
as specified by the `+` quantifier.
After, we have another simple token `z` and another simple token ` ?`
that is the space char (ascii code 32) followed by the `?` quantifier
that say to capture the space char 0 or 1 time.
Then, we have another simple token `z` and another simple token ` ?`,
i.e. the space char (ascii code 32) followed by the `?` quantifier,
which means that the preceding space should be matched 0 or 1 time.
This explain because the `(c(pa)+z ?)+` query string can match `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` .
This explains why the `(c(pa)+z ?)+` query string,
can match `cpaz cpapaz cpapapaz` .
In this implementation the groups are "capture groups",
it means that the last temporal result for each group can be retrieved from the `RE` struct.

`re.group_csave[0]` - number of total saved records
`re.group_csave[1+n*3]` - id of the saved group
`re.group_csave[1+n*3]` - start index in the source string of the saved group
