Type Members

  1. class Match extends MatchData

    Permalink

    Provides information about a successful match.

  2. trait MatchData extends AnyRef

    Permalink

    This class provides methods to access the details of a match.

  3. class MatchIterator extends AbstractIterator[String] with Iterator[String] with MatchData

    Permalink

    A class to step through a sequence of regex matches.

    A class to step through a sequence of regex matches.

    All methods inherited from scala.util.matching.Regex.MatchData will throw a java.lang.IllegalStateException until the matcher is initialized. The matcher can be initialized by calling hasNext or next() or causing these methods to be called, such as by invoking toString or iterating through the iterator's elements.

Value Members

  1. final def !=(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Test two objects for inequality.

    Test two objects for inequality.

    returns

    true if !(this == that), false otherwise.

  2. final def ##(): Int

    Permalink

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

    returns

    a hash value consistent with ==

  3. final def ==(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Permalink

    The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

    The expression x == that is equivalent to if (x eq null) that eq null else x.equals(that).

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  4. object Groups

    Permalink

    An extractor object that yields the groups in the match.

    An extractor object that yields the groups in the match. Using this extractor rather than the original Regex ensures that the match is not recomputed.

    import scala.util.matching.Regex.Groups
    
    val date = """(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""".r
    val text = "The doc spree happened on 2011-07-15."
    val day = date replaceAllIn(text, _ match { case Groups(_, month, day) => s"$month/$day" })
  5. object Match

    Permalink

    An extractor object for Matches, yielding the matched string.

    An extractor object for Matches, yielding the matched string.

    This can be used to help writing replacer functions when you are not interested in match data. For example:

    import scala.util.matching.Regex.Match
    """\w+""".r replaceAllIn ("A simple example.", _ match { case Match(s) => s.toUpperCase })
  6. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Permalink

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

    returns

    the receiver object.

    Definition Classes
    Any
    Exceptions thrown

    ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

  7. def clone(): AnyRef

    Permalink

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    Create a copy of the receiver object.

    The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

    returns

    a copy of the receiver object.

  8. final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

    Permalink

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

    The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    • It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.
    • For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false.
    • null.eq(null) returns true.

    When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

    returns

    true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.

    Called by the garbage collector on the receiver object when there are no more references to the object.

    The details of when and if the finalize method is invoked, as well as the interaction between finalize and non-local returns and exceptions, are all platform dependent.

  13. final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Permalink

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.

    Quotes strings to be used literally in regex patterns.

    Quotes strings to be used literally in regex patterns.

    All regex metacharacters in the input match themselves literally in the output.

    Example:
    1. List("US$", "CAN$").map(Regex.quote).mkString("|").r
  18. def quoteReplacement(text: String): String

    Permalink

    Quotes replacement strings to be used in replacement methods.

    Quotes replacement strings to be used in replacement methods.

    Replacement methods give special meaning to backslashes (\) and dollar signs ($) in replacement strings, so they are not treated as literals. This method escapes these characters so the resulting string can be used as a literal replacement representing the input string.

    text

    The string one wishes to use as literal replacement.

    returns

    A string that can be used to replace matches with text.

    Example:
    1. "CURRENCY".r.replaceAllIn(input, Regex quoteReplacement "US$")

    Creates a String representation of this object.

    Creates a String representation of this object. The default representation is platform dependent. On the java platform it is the concatenation of the class name, "@", and the object's hashcode in hexadecimal.

    returns

    a String representation of the object.
