Regexp::Common::delimited -- provides a regex for delimited strings
use Regexp::Common qw /delimited/; while (<>) { /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}/ and print 'a \" delimited string'; /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}/ and print 'a \/ delimited string'; }
Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface.
Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
$RE{delimited}{-delim}{-esc}
Returns a pattern that matches a single-character-delimited substring, with optional internal escaping of the delimiter.
When -delim=S is specified, each character in the sequence S is a possible delimiter. There is no default delimiter, so this flag must always be specified.
-delim=S
If -esc=S is specified, each character in the sequence S is the delimiter for the corresponding character in the -delim=S list. The default escape is backslash.
-esc=S
For example:
$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'} # match "a \" delimited string" $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}{-esc=>'"'} # match "a "" delimited string" $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'} # match /a \/ delimited string/ $RE{delimited}{-delim=>q{'"}} # match "string" or 'string'
Under -keep (See Regexp::Common):
-keep
captures the entire match
captures the opening delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)
captures delimited portion of the string (provided only one delimiter was specified)
captures the closing delimiter (provided only one delimiter was specified)
A synonym for $RE{delimited}{q{-delim='"`}{...}}
