Method Detail

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString

protected boolean allowRegexMatchingEmptyString()

Specified by:

allowRegexMatchingEmptyString in class RegexFunction

evalMatches

public boolean evalMatches(AtomicValue input,
                  AtomicValue regex,
                  CharSequence flags,
                  XPathContext context)
                    throws XPathException

Interface used by compiled bytecode

Parameters:

input - the value to be tested

regex - the regular expression

flags - the flags

context - the dynamic context

Returns:

true if the string matches the regex

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs

call

public BooleanValue call(XPathContext context,
                Sequence[] arguments)
                  throws XPathException

Evaluate the expression

Parameters:

context - the dynamic evaluation context

arguments - the values of the arguments, supplied as Sequences

Returns:

the result of the evaluation, in the form of a Sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if a dynamic error occurs during the evaluation of the expression

getExpressionCompiler

public ExpressionCompiler getExpressionCompiler()

Return the compiler of the Matches expression

Overrides:

getExpressionCompiler in class SystemFunction

Returns:

the relevant ExpressionCompiler
