Glob - Parse and compile glob notation expressions.
A parser for shell-stype glob notation.
See Tcl::Glob for a slightly different glob syntax.
compile_glob(PMC source,
PMC adverbs :slurpy :named)Return the result of compiling the glob expression given by source.
Normally this function is obtained using compreg 'PGE::Glob' instead of calling it directly.
Returns the compiled regular expression.
If a target named parameter is supplied,
then it will return the parse tree (target='parse'),
the expression tree (target='exp'),
or the resulting PIR code (target='PIR').
glob(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs :slurpy :named)Parses a glob expression,
returning the corresponding parse PGE::Match object.
glob_literal(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs)Scan a literal from a string,
stopping at any metacharacters such as * or [.
Return the matched portion,
with the ast object set to the decoded literal.
glob_quest(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs)Process a ? wildcard character in a glob.
For this we just return a CCShortcut that is set to '.'
glob_star(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs)Process a * wildcard character in a glob.
This is a little bit more complex,
as we have to return a quantified '.'.
glob_enum(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs)Parse an enumerated character list, such as [abcd], [!abcd], and [^0-9].
glob_alt(PMC mob,
PMC adverbs)Parse an enumerated character list, such as [abcd], [!abcd], and [^0-9].
Registers this compiler object as name and using compsub as the subroutine to call for performing compilation.
Compile source (possibly modified by any provided options).
PGE::Glob was originally authored by Jonathan Scott Duff (duff@pobox.com), It has been updated for later versions of PGE by Patrick R. Michaud (pmichaud@pobox.com).
