Class REProgram

java.lang.Object

net.sf.saxon.regex.REProgram

public class REProgram
extends Object

A class that holds compiled regular expressions. These are created using the RECompiler, and evaluated using the REMatcher.

Constructor Details

REProgram

public REProgram(Operation operation,
 int parens,
 REFlags flags)

Constructs a program object

Parameters:

operation - The top-level operation, the root of an operation tree

parens - Count of capturing parens in the program.

flags - the regular expression flags

Method Details

setBacktrackingLimit

public void setBacktrackingLimit(int limit)

getBacktrackingLimit

public int getBacktrackingLimit()

isNullable

public boolean isNullable()

Ask whether the regular expression is known statically to match a zero length string

Returns:

true if the regex is known statically to match a zero length string. If the result is true, then there is definitely a match; if the result is false, then it is not known statically whether there is a match (this arises when the expression contains back-references).

getPrefix

public UnicodeString getPrefix()

Returns a copy of the prefix of current regular expression program in a character array. If there is no prefix, or there is no program compiled yet, getPrefix will return null.

Returns:

A copy of the prefix of current compiled RE program
