Struct regex::bytes::Captures [] [src]

pub struct Captures<'t> { /* fields omitted */ }

Captures represents a group of captured byte strings for a single match.

The 0th capture always corresponds to the entire match. Each subsequent index corresponds to the next capture group in the regex. If a capture group is named, then the matched byte string is also available via the name method. (Note that the 0th capture is always unnamed and so must be accessed with the at method.)

Positions returned from a capture group are always byte indices.

't is the lifetime of the matched text.

Methods

impl<'t> Captures<'t>
[src]

Returns the start and end positions of the Nth capture group. Returns None if i is not a valid capture group or if the capture group did not match anything. The positions returned are always byte indices with respect to the original byte string matched.

Returns the matched string for the capture group i. If i isn't a valid capture group or didn't match anything, then None is returned.

Returns the matched string for the capture group named name. If name isn't a valid capture group or didn't match anything, then None is returned.

Creates an iterator of all the capture groups in order of appearance in the regular expression.

Creates an iterator of all the capture group positions in order of appearance in the regular expression. Positions are byte indices in terms of the original string matched.

Creates an iterator of all named groups as an tuple with the group name and the value. The iterator returns these values in arbitrary order.

Expands all instances of $name in text to the corresponding capture group name, and writes them to the dst buffer given.

name may be an integer corresponding to the index of the capture group (counted by order of opening parenthesis where 0 is the entire match) or it can be a name (consisting of letters, digits or underscores) corresponding to a named capture group.

If name isn't a valid capture group (whether the name doesn't exist or isn't a valid index), then it is replaced with the empty string.

The longest possible name is used. e.g., $1a looks up the capture group named 1a and not the capture group at index 1. To exert more precise control over the name, use braces, e.g., ${1}a.

To write a literal $ use $$.

Returns the number of captured groups.

Returns true if and only if there are no captured groups.

Trait Implementations

impl<'t> Debug for Captures<'t>
[src]

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'t> Index<usize> for Captures<'t>
[src]

Get a group by index.

't is the lifetime of the matched text.

The text can't outlive the Captures object if this method is used, because of how Index is defined (normally a[i] is part of a and can't outlive it); to do that, use at() instead.

Panics

If there is no group at the given index.

The returned type after indexing

The method for the indexing (container[index]) operation

impl<'t, 'i> Index<&'i str> for Captures<'t>
[src]

Get a group by name.

't is the lifetime of the matched text and 'i is the lifetime of the group name (the index).

The text can't outlive the Captures object if this method is used, because of how Index is defined (normally a[i] is part of a and can't outlive it); to do that, use name instead.

Panics

If there is no group named by the given value.
