static String	RE_MATCH_END End of match for regular expression
static String	RE_MATCH_START Start match for regular expression
static String	RE_SUBST_END Subset end of regular expression
static String	RE_SUBST_START Subset start regular expression

Method Detail

match

public static boolean match(String regularExpression,
                            String inputText)

Returns true if the input text matches the regular expression with case insensitive

Parameters:

regularExpression - regular expression that input must match

inputText - value to compare

Returns:

if inputText matches regularExpression

match

public static boolean match(String regularExpression,
                            String inputText,
                            boolean caseInsensitve)

Returns true if the input text matches the regular expression with either case sensitive or case insensitive

Parameters:

regularExpression - regular expression that input must match

inputText - value to compare

caseInsensitve - true if we care about case sensitive

Returns:

if inputText matches regularExpression

getReplacementRE

public static String getReplacementRE(String oldValue,
                                      String newValue)

Prepare RE for Perl5Util.substitute() call in the form

Parameters:

oldValue - s/oldValue/newValue/g - case-sensitive variant

newValue - s/oldValue/newValue/gi - case-insensitive variant

Returns:

the regular expression

getMatchRE

public static String getMatchRE(String value)

Prepare RE for Perl5Util.match() call. Note: this constructs a regex that is case sensitive. If you need a case-insensitive regex use the getMatchRE method with two parameters.

Parameters:

value - the inner value of the regex

Returns:

regular expression for doing a match style regex operation

getMatchRE

public static String getMatchRE(String value,
                                boolean caseSensitive)

Prepare RE for Perl5Util.match() call

Parameters:

value - the inner value of the regex

caseSensitive - true if the match should be case sensitive, false otherwise

Returns:

regular expression for doing a match style regex operation
