LEARN ABOUT OSX

regexp::common::delimited

Regexp::Common::delimited(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			      Regexp::Common::delimited(3)

NAME

       Regexp::Common::delimited -- provides a regex for delimited strings

SYNOPSIS

	   use Regexp::Common qw /delimited/;

	   while (<>) {
	       /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}/  and print 'a " delimited string';
	       /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}/  and print 'a / delimited string';
	   }

DESCRIPTION

       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.

       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.

   $RE{delimited}{-delim}{-esc}
       Returns a pattern that matches a single-character-delimited substring, with optional internal escaping of the delimiter.

       When "-delim=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is a possible delimiter. There is no default delimiter, so this flag must
       always be specified.

       If "-esc=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is the delimiter for the corresponding character in the "-delim=S" list.  The
       default escape is backslash.

       For example:

	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}		 # match "a " delimited string"
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}{-esc=>'"'} # match "a "" delimited string"
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}		 # match /a / delimited string/
	  $RE{delimited}{-delim=>q{'"}} 	 # match "string" or 'string'

       Under "-keep" (See Regexp::Common):

       $1  captures the entire match

       $2  captures the opening delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)

       $3  captures delimited portion of the string (provided only one delimiter was specified)

       $4  captures the closing delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)

   $RE{quoted}{-esc}
       A synonym for $RE{delimited}{q{-delim='"`}{...}}
