Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Regex issue with \s in character class. Post 303042633 by Neo on Wednesday 1st of January 2020 10:53:18 PM

FWIW:

Code:
macos$  echo " FOO " | grep -o -E '[[:space:]][A-Z]+[[:space:]]'
 FOO

Code:
linux# echo " FOO " | grep -o -E '[[:space:]][A-Z]+[[:space:]]'
 FOO

Sorry, I know those examples do not explain why \s is not supported.

It's a good question why. Maybe someone has the answer?

NAME
PPIx::Utilities::Statement - Extensions to PPI::Statement. VERSION
This document describes PPIx::Utilities::Statement version 1.1.0. SYNOPSIS
use PPI::Document qw< >; use PPIx::Utilities::Statement qw< get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement >; my $document = PPI::Document->new('Readonly::Scalar my $THINGY => 47.2;'); # Returns the PPI::Token::Symbol for "$THINGY". my ($constant) = get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement( $document->schild(0) ); DESCRIPTION
This is a collection of functions for dealing with PPI::Statements. INTERFACE
Nothing is exported by default. "get_constant_name_elements_from_declaring_statement($statement)" Given a PPI::Statement, if the statement is a Readonly or Const::Fast declaration statement or a "use constant", returns the names of the things being defined. Given use constant 1.16 FOO => 'bar'; this will return the PPI::Token::Word containing 'FOO'. Given use constant 1.16 { FOO => 'bar', 'BAZ' => 'burfle' }; this will return a list of the PPI::Tokens containing 'FOO' and 'BAZ'. Similarly, given Readonly::Hash my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' ); or const my %FOO => ( bar => 'baz' ); this will return the PPI::Token::Symbol containing '%FOO'. BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
