Text.RE.PCRE.String

Tutorial

We have a regex tutorial at http://tutorial.regex.uk. These API docs are mainly for reference.

The Match Operators

(*=~) :: String -> RE -> Matches String

find all matches in text

(?=~) :: String -> RE -> Match String

find first match in text

(=~) :: (Typeable a, RegexContext Regex String a, RegexMaker Regex CompOption ExecOption String) => String -> RE -> a

the regex-base polymorphic match operator

(=~~) :: (Monad m, Functor m, Typeable a, RegexContext Regex String a, RegexMaker Regex CompOption ExecOption String) => String -> RE -> m a

the regex-base monadic, polymorphic match operator
