Function List and PL/SQL packages

@Jean-Marc-Malmedy could you try this one:
<parser displayName="SQL-mehods" id ="sql_syntax" commentExpr="(?x) # Utilize inline comments (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?s:\x2F\x2A.*?\x2A\x2F) # Multi Line Comment | (?m-s:-{2}.*$) # Single Line Comment " > <classRange mainExpr ="(?x) # Utilize inline comments (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?mi) # case insensitive ^\h* # optional leading blanks CREATE\s+(?:OR\s+REPLACE\s+)?PACKAGE\s+(?:BODY\s+)? # start-of-package indicator (?:\w+\.)? # schema name, optional (?'PACKAGE_ID'\w+) # package name (?s:.*?) # whatever, until... ^\h*END(?:\s+\k'PACKAGE_ID')?\s*; # ...end-of-package indicator " > <className> <nameExpr expr="(?i:PACKAGE\s+(?:BODY\s+)?)\K(?:\w+\.)?\w+" /> </className> <function mainExpr="^\h*(?i:FUNCTION|PROCEDURE)\s+\K\w+\s*\([^()]*\)" > <functionName> <funcNameExpr expr="\w+" /> </functionName> </function> </classRange> <function mainExpr="^\h*(?i:FUNCTION|PROCEDURE)\s+\K\w+\s*\([^()]*\)" > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="\w+" /> </functionName> </function> </parser> -
Wonderful, it works.
I just had to make to small modifications:
- making the parenthesis optional for the declaration of function or procedure
- starting the declaration of a function or procedure outside a package with “create or replace”
This is my final version of the parser:
<parser displayName="SQL-mehods" id ="sql_syntax" commentExpr="(?x) # Utilize inline comments (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?s:\x2F\x2A.*?\x2A\x2F) # Multi Line Comment | (?m-s:-{2}.*$) # Single Line Comment " > <classRange mainExpr ="(?x) # Utilize inline comments (see `RegEx - Pattern Modifiers`) (?mi) # case insensitive ^\h* # optional leading blanks CREATE\s+(?:OR\s+REPLACE\s+)?PACKAGE\s+(?:BODY\s+)? # start-of-package indicator (?:\w+\.)? # schema name, optional (?'PACKAGE_ID'\w+) # package name (?s:.*?) # whatever, until... ^\h*END(?:\s+\k'PACKAGE_ID')?\s*; # ...end-of-package indicator " > <className> <nameExpr expr="(?i:PACKAGE\s+(?:BODY\s+)?)\K(?:\w+\.)?\w+" /> </className> <function mainExpr="^\h*(?i:FUNCTION|PROCEDURE)\s+\K\w+\s*(\([^()]*\)){0,1}" > <functionName> <funcNameExpr expr="\w+" /> </functionName> </function> </classRange> <function mainExpr="^\h*CREATE\s+(?:OR\s+REPLACE\s+)?(?i:FUNCTION|PROCEDURE)\s+\K\w+\s*(\([^()]*\)){0,1}" > <functionName> <nameExpr expr="\w+" /> </functionName> </function> </parser>Many many thanks for your help.

@Jean-Marc-Malmedy FYI:
{0,1}can be replaced with a?. -
Yes, indeed. Thanks for the suggestion.

You’re welcome!

HI! Wonderful, I came here for this… :D
I have tried his solution, but immediately bumped into a serious problem:
I can see only the first method in my package. :(if i understand correctly, the classRange - mainExpr should match for the whole package body.
I think the problem lies here at the last line:^\h*END(?:\s+\k'PACKAGE_ID')?\s*;this matches the first “end;” in the code.
In a real-world code there is lots of “end;” statements, as we can close methods with it, and even there is unnamed blocks inside them.
Example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY sch_001.pck_001 AS PROCEDURE p_proc_001(pn_id PLS_INTEGER) IS sd date; BEGIN -- unnamed block begin: "try-catch" in PL/SQL begin select sysdate into sd from dual; exception when others then sd := null; end; -- do something else END; END pck_001; /Please help me on this.
Unfortunately I’m not really familiar with greedy multi-line regexp statements…For start, it would be OK, if it could end only on the end of file…
It would be a huge help for us! :)

@Gábor-Madács
I don’t understand your problem.
-
Thank you for the quick response!
Your results are better than mine… :)

What parser do you use? This is by the one from the last post from Jean-Marc Malmedy.
I have also tried the one before this - posted by you - that is showed the second procedure too, but out of the body.
(That’s because of here no “CREATE” in the procedure name - that is a difference between the two version. “CREATE” is for procedures not in packages.)Please post your fine parser version! :)

@Gábor-Madács See my post on GitHub.

@MAPJe71 Wow… Thank you very much! :D
(May I note, now the “I don’t understand your problem.” seems somewhat unfounded… ;) )Work like a charm! (Looks like a charm, indeed… ;) )
Hope, it will be part of the official NPP distribution!
Thank you again!

Beautiful work! But i have a little bit problem.
When the procedure or function name is missing after the “end”, it seems the parser consumes the file to the end skipping other functions!Example:
function foo is
Begin
–Todo function logic…
null;
End;function bar is…
In this case function bar (and other functions after it) will be skipped! I know it is not the best practice but it’s pretty common.
although it’s simple to fix that on the source code I will appreciate your help to fix the parser.Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, after a few little changes it seems to work now for all my Plsql files…
