# `regex` Function
|
||||
|
||||
`regex` applies a
|
||||
[regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression)
|
||||
to a string and returns the matching substrings.
|
||||
|
||||
```hcl
|
||||
regex(pattern, string)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The return type of `regex` depends on the capture groups, if any, in the
|
||||
pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the pattern has no capture groups at all, the result is a single string
|
||||
covering the substring matched by the pattern as a whole.
|
||||
- If the pattern has one or more _unnamed_ capture groups, the result is a
|
||||
list of the captured substrings in the same order as the definition of
|
||||
the capture groups.
|
||||
- If the pattern has one or more _named_ capture groups, the result is a
|
||||
map of the captured substrings, using the capture group names as map keys.
|
||||
|
||||
It's not valid to mix both named and unnamed capture groups in the same pattern.
|
||||
|
||||
If the given pattern does not match at all, the `regex` raises an error. To
|
||||
_test_ whether a given pattern matches a string, use
|
||||
[`regexall`](./regexall.mdx) and test that the result has length greater than
|
||||
zero.
|
||||
|
||||
The pattern is a string containing a mixture of literal characters and special
|
||||
matching operators as described in the following table. Note that when giving a
|
||||
regular expression pattern as a literal quoted string in the Packer
|
||||
language, the quoted string itself already uses backslash `\` as an escape
|
||||
character for the string, so any backslashes intended to be recognized as part
|
||||
of the pattern must be escaped as `\\`.
|
||||
|
||||
| Sequence | Matches |
|
||||
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `.` | Any character except newline |
|
||||
| `[xyz]` | Any character listed between the brackets (`x`, `y`, and `z` in this example) |
|
||||
| `[a-z]` | Any character between `a` and `z`, inclusive |
|
||||
| `[^xyz]` | The opposite of `[xyz]` |
|
||||
| `\d` | ASCII digits (0 through 9, inclusive) |
|
||||
| `\D` | Anything except ASCII digits |
|
||||
| `\s` | ASCII spaces (space, tab, newline, carriage return, form feed) |
|
||||

|
||||
| `[[:blank:]]` | ASCII tab or space |
|
||||
| `[[:cntrl:]]` | ASCII/Unicode control characters |
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
| `[[:lower:]]` | The same as `[a-z]` |
|
||||
| `[[:print:]]` | The same as `[[:graph:]]` |
|
||||
| `[[:punct:]]` | The same as `` [!-/:-@[-`{-~] `` |
|
||||
| `[[:space:]]` | The same as `[\t\n\v\f\r ]` |
|
||||
| `[[:upper:]]` | The same as `[A-Z]` |
|
||||
| `[[:word:]]` | The same as `\w` |
|
||||
| `[[:xdigit:]]` | The same as `[0-9A-Fa-f]` |
|
||||
| `\pN` | Unicode character class by using single-letter class names ("N" in this example) |
|
||||
| `\p{Greek}` | Unicode character class by unicode name ("Greek" in this example) |
|
||||
| `\PN` | The opposite of `\pN` |
|
||||
| `\P{Greek}` | The opposite of `\p{Greek}` |
|
||||
| `xy` | `x` followed immediately by `y` |
|
||||
| <code>x|y</code> | either `x` or `y`, preferring `x` |
|
||||
| `x*` | zero or more `x`, preferring more |
|
||||
| `x*?` | zero or more `x`, preferring fewer |
|
||||
| `x+` | one or more `x`, preferring more |
|
||||
| `x+?` | one or more `x`, preferring fewer |
|
||||
| `x?` | zero or one `x`, preferring one |
|
||||
| `x??` | zero or one `x`, preferring zero |
|
||||
| `x{n,m}` | between `n` and `m` repetitions of `x`, preferring more |
|
||||
| `x{n,m}?` | between `n` and `m` repetitions of `x`, preferring fewer |
|
||||
| `x{n,}` | at least `n` repetitions of `x`, preferring more |
|
||||
| `x{n,}?` | at least `n` repetitions of `x`, preferring fewer |
|
||||
| `x{n}` | exactly `n` repetitions of `x` |
|
||||
| `(x)` | unnamed capture group for sub-pattern `x` |
|
||||
| `(?P<name>x)` | named capture group, named `name`, for sub-pattern `x` |
|
||||
| `(?:x)` | non-capturing sub-pattern `x` |
|
||||
| `\*` | Literal `*` for any punctuation character `*` |
|
||||
| `\Q...\E` | Literal `...` for any text `...` as long as it does not include literally `\E` |
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the above matching operators that consume the characters they
|
||||
match, there are some additional operators that _only_ match, but consume
|
||||
no characters. These are "zero-width" matching operators:
|
||||
|
||||
| Sequence | Matches |
|
||||
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
||||
| `^` | At the beginning of the given string |
|
||||
| `$` | At the end of the given string |
|
||||
| `\A` | At the beginning of the given string |
|
||||
| `\z` | At the end of the given string |
|
||||
| `\b` | At an ASCII word boundary (transition between `\w` and either `\W`, `\A` or `\z`, or vice-versa) |
|
||||
| `\B` | Not at an ASCII word boundary |
|
||||
|
||||
Packer uses the
|
||||
[RE2](https://github.com/google/re2/wiki/Syntax) regular expression language.
|
||||
This engine does not support all of the features found in some other regular
|
||||
expression engines; in particular, it does not support backreferences.
|
||||
|
||||
## Matching Flags
|
||||
|
||||
Some of the matching behaviors described above can be modified by setting
|
||||
matching flags, activated using either the `(?flags)` operator (to activate
|
||||
within the current sub-pattern) or the `(?flags:x)` operator (to match `x` with
|
||||
the modified flags). Each flag is a single letter, and multiple flags can be
|
||||
set at once by listing multiple letters in the `flags` position.
|
||||
The available flags are listed in the table below:
|
||||
|
||||
| Flag | Meaning |
|
||||
| ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||||
| `i` | Case insensitive: a literal letter in the pattern matches both lowercase and uppercase versions of that letter |
|
||||
| `m` | The `^` and `$` operators also match the beginning and end of lines within the string, marked by newline characters; behavior of `\A` and `\z` is unchanged |
|
||||
| `s` | The `.` operator also matches newline |
|
||||
| `U` | The meaning of presence or absense `?` after a repetition operator is inverted. For example, `x*` is interpreted like `x*?` and vice-versa. |
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> regex("[a-z]+", "53453453.345345aaabbbccc23454")
|
||||
aaabbbccc
|
||||
|
||||
> regex("(\\d\\d\\d\\d)-(\\d\\d)-(\\d\\d)", "2019-02-01")
|
||||
[
|
||||
"2019",
|
||||
"02",
|
||||
"01",
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
> regex("^(?:(?P<scheme>[^:/?#]+):)?(?://(?P<authority>[^/?#]*))?", "https://packer.io/docs/")
|
||||
{
|
||||
"packer" = "packer.io"
|
||||
"scheme" = "https"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
> regex("[a-z]+", "53453453.34534523454")
|
||||
|
||||
Error: Error in function call
|
||||
|
||||
Call to function "regex" failed: pattern did not match any part of the given
|
||||
string.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Related Functions
|
||||
|
||||
- [`regexall`](./regexall.mdx) searches for potentially multiple matches of a given pattern in a string.
|
||||
- [`replace`](./replace.mdx) replaces a substring of a string with another string, optionally matching using the same regular expression syntax as `regex`.
|
||||
|
||||
If Packer already has a more specialized function to parse the syntax you
|
||||
are trying to match, prefer to use that function instead. Regular expressions
|
||||
can be hard to read and can obscure your intent, making a configuration harder
|
||||
to read and understand.

# `regexall` Function
|
||||
|
||||
`regexall` applies a
|
||||
[regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression)
|
||||
to a string and returns a list of all matches.
|
||||
|
||||
```hcl
|
||||
regexall(pattern, string)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`regexall` is a variant of [`regex`](./regex.mdx) and uses the same pattern
|
||||
syntax. For any given input to `regex`, `regexall` returns a list of whatever
|
||||
type `regex` would've returned, with one element per match. That is:
|
||||
|
||||
- If the pattern has no capture groups at all, the result is a list of
|
||||
strings.
|
||||
- If the pattern has one or more _unnamed_ capture groups, the result is a
|
||||
list of lists.
|
||||
- If the pattern has one or more _named_ capture groups, the result is a
|
||||
list of maps.
|
||||
|
||||
`regexall` can also be used to test whether a particular string matches a
|
||||
given pattern, by testing whether the length of the resulting list of matches
|
||||
is greater than zero.
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
> regexall("[a-z]+", "1234abcd5678efgh9")
|
||||
[
|
||||
"abcd",
|
||||
"efgh",
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
> length(regexall("[a-z]+", "1234abcd5678efgh9"))
|
||||
2
|
||||
|
||||
> length(regexall("[a-z]+", "123456789")) > 0
|
||||
false
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
