FunctionList Confused
-
Hello, @lycan-thrope and All,
First I would say that, again, I was completely mistaken in this post, too :
https://community.notepad-plus-plus.org/post/72550
So, just forget my two previous posts and follow this simple rule to not add any code definition in comments, whatever the language used (
built_inoruser-defined) !
Now, regarding your IF/ELSE kind of Regex construction, there is, indeed, a valid
IF THEN / ELSEregex contruction ! Its general syntax is :(?ConditionTHEN_part)OR(?ConditionTHEN_part|ELSE_part), where condition is either :-
A previous defined group, named or not
-
A look-around feature
-
A recursive pattern
Two simple examples :
- The regex
(TEST)?123(?(1)===|---)456matches the TEST123===456 string and any 123—456 string, whatever occurs before the 123 part
TEST123===456 abc123---456 xyz123---456- The regex
___((?=TEST)TEST12345|67890)___matches the two strings ___TEST12345___ and ___67890___
___TEST12345___ ___67890___
Back to your
dbasePlus.xmlparser and assuming these conditions :- I just associated Normal text to your
dbasePlus.xmlparser :
<association id= "dbaseplus.xml" langID= "0"/> <!-- Normal Text ID -->I used this modified version :

I supposed that, when using the
withsyntax, you would want either :-
To see the
(this)part if it exists -
To see anything till the end of line if the
(this)part is absent, after thewithand the blank char
And I did the modifications, both in the
classRangepart and in thefunctionparts , using anIF...THEN...ELSE...construction :((?=\(this\))\(this\)|.+)$ # If '(this)' exits at CURRENT position then select it ELSE select any NON NULL string till END of LINEOf course, in order that the parser work properly, I had to change this line in the two
mainExprparts :with \h+ .+ # INSTEAD of : with \h+ \(.*?\)
Now, I used the test file, below :
/*Test_1 OK */ /* Test_2 OK */ /* Test_3 OK */ //Test_4 OK // Test_5 OK // Test_6 OK &&Test_7 OK && Test_8 OK && Test_9 OK class ABC bla blah function foo bla bla blah with ($^|]!:Test__--~ blah bla endclass class XYZ bla function 123 bla blah with (this) blah endclass BLA function bar bla blah with (this) bla blaH with (.This.TESTCONTAINER.) bla blah
-
It correctly avoids all the comment lines, at beginning of file
-
It correctly displays the classes
ABCandXYZ -
It correctly displays the functions
fooand123
And regarding the modified part :
-
If the
(this)part exists, afterwith, it correctly displays(this)( method(this), in theXYZclass and single functionthis) -
If the
(this)part is absent, afterwith, it correctly displays all the characters till end of line ( method($^|]!:Test__--~, in theABCclass and the single function(.This.TESTCONTAINER.)

Please, take time to re-read this post ! Not easy to catch everything at first glance !

@guy038 ,
Thank you. Now, I will have to look at your code, but while I was signed out, I had another one of those epiphany things. :-)
Figured it out with the reduced complexity by allowing everything after the
thisand stopping before the\)with the lookahead, by using this regex:
\Kthis\.\K(.+)(?=\))By doing this I was able to remove the longer more complex one that only went 3 levels deep, and reducing my or construct by one or level. This is what I can get now:
I think I have a problem with overthinking things. :-) I was looking for the one you showed up there, and I might still be able to use it, somewhere else, so thanks.
