#Rust RE2
Bindings for re2 for Rust
#Installing dependencies Requires re2 and cre2.
cd deps && ./install_re2.sh && ./install_cre2.sh && cd ..
#Compiling
cd lib && make && cd ..
#Linking
rustc -L ../path/to/rust-re2/lib my_program.rs
It might be helpful to move the compiled lib to /usr/local/lib and link from
there. I should add a make install target.
#Usage
let text = ~"hello world 42!";
let pattern = ~"(world), ([0-9]+)";
let mut matches: ~[~str] = re2::Matches::new(2u32);
re2::easy_match(pattern, text, matches);
matches[0]; // ~"world 42"
matches[1]; // ~"world"
matches[2]; // ~"42"The u32 passed to re2::Matches::new represents the number of groupings plus
one. Matches is always one more than the
number of groupings, as matches[0] is always the "full match". The function
also returns 0i32 in the case of no match, 1i32 in the case of a match,
and 2i32 if the pattern is invalid.
This binding is incomplete, but has the basics working. For more functions, see test/test.rs.
