NAME
Regexp::Melody - Melody is a language that compiles to regular expressions, while aiming to be more readable and maintainable
VERSION
version 0.001000
SYNOPSIS
use Test2::V0;
use Regexp::Melody;
my $re = Regexp::Melody->new( <<'MELODY' );
16 of "na";
2 of match {
<space>;
"batman";
}
MELODY
like( "nananananananananananananananana batman", $re );
done_testing;DESCRIPTION
Melody is a more verbose way of writing regular expressions.
Melody syntax is described at https://yoav-lavi.github.io/melody/book/.
This module is a wrapper around the Rust implementation of Melody, and provides a functional interface identical to the Rust library, as well as an object-oriented interface which may be more convenient for use in Perl.
FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE
No functions are exported by default, but they may be requested:
use Regexp::Melody qw( compiler );Functions
compiler( $melody )
Compiles the string of Melody into a PCRE-like string.
OBJECT-ORIENTED INTERFACE
Constructor
new( $melody )
Compiles a string of Melody into a regular expression.
The returned object is a blessed Perl object, but may be used on the right hand side of the `=~` operator like a regexp.
(It's actually a blessed regexp ref, but that detail may change in future versions of this module.)
Methods
to_melody()
Turns the regexp back into a string of Melody.
