Regex

class Regex extends AnyRef

This class provides methods for creating and using regular expressions. It is based on the regular expressions of the JDK since 1.4.

You can use special pattern syntax construct (?idmsux-idmsux) to switch various regex compilation options like CASE_INSENSITIVE or UNICODE_CASE. See java.util.regex.Pattern javadoc for details.

Value Members

  1. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  2. def findAllIn(source: CharSequence): MatchIterator

    Return all matches of this regexp in given character sequence as an iterator

    Return all matches of this regexp in given character sequence as an iterator

  3. def findFirstIn(source: CharSequence): Option[String]

    Return optionally first matching string of this regexp in given character sequence, None if it does not exist

    Return optionally first matching string of this regexp in given character sequence, None if it does not exist.

  4. def findFirstMatchIn(source: CharSequence): Option[Match]

    Return optionally first match of this regexp in given character sequence, None if it does not exist

    Return optionally first match of this regexp in given character sequence, None if it does not exist.

  5. def findPrefixMatchOf(source: CharSequence): Option[Match]

    Return optionally match of this regexp at the beginning of the given character sequence, or None if regexp matches no prefix of the character sequence

    Return optionally match of this regexp at the beginning of the given character sequence, or None if regexp matches no prefix of the character sequence.

  6. def findPrefixOf(source: CharSequence): Option[String]

    Return optionally match of this regexp at the beginning of the given character sequence, or None if regexp matches no prefix of the character sequence

    Return optionally match of this regexp at the beginning of the given character sequence, or None if regexp matches no prefix of the character sequence.

  7. def hashCode(): Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.
