A class to step through a sequence of regex matches.
This is an iterator that returns the matched strings.
Queries about match data pertain to the current state of the underlying matcher, which is advanced by calling hasNext or next.
When matches are exhausted, queries about match data will throw java.lang.IllegalStateException.
java.util.regex.Matcher
Test two objects for inequality.
true if !(this == that), false otherwise.
Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.
a hash value consistent with ==
The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.
Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.
the receiver object.
ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.
Create a copy of the receiver object.
The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.
a copy of the receiver object.
Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).
The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:
x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
null.eq(null) returns true. When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).
true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
The equality method for reference types. Default implementation delegates to eq.
See also equals in scala.Any.
true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.
Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.
The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Returns the runtime class representation of the object.
a class object corresponding to the runtime type of the receiver.
The hashCode method for reference types. See hashCode in scala.Any.
the hash code value for this object.
Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.
Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.
true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.
Equivalent to !(this eq that).
true if the argument is not a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on the receiver object's monitor.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Wakes up all threads that are waiting on the receiver object's monitor.
not specified by SLS as a member of AnyRef
Quotes strings to be used literally in regex patterns.
All regex metacharacters in the input match themselves literally in the output.
List("US$", "CAN$").map(Regex.quote).mkString("|").r
Quotes replacement strings to be used in replacement methods.
Replacement methods give special meaning to backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in replacement strings, so they are not treated as literals. This method escapes these characters so the resulting string can be used as a literal replacement representing the input string.
The string one wishes to use as literal replacement.
A string that can be used to replace matches with text.
"CURRENCY".r.replaceAllIn(input, Regex quoteReplacement "US$")
Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.
a String representation of the object.
An extractor object that yields the groups in the match. Using this extractor rather than the original Regex ensures that the match is not recomputed.
import scala.util.matching.Regex.Groups
val date = """(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""".r
val text = "The doc spree happened on 2011-07-15."
val day = date replaceAllIn(text, _ match { case Groups(_, month, day) => s"$month/$day" })
An extractor object for Matches, yielding the matched string.
This can be used to help writing replacer functions when you are not interested in match data. For example:
import scala.util.matching.Regex.Match
"""\w+""".r replaceAllIn ("A simple example.", _ match { case Match(s) => s.toUpperCase })
