$RE{num}{int}{-base}{-sep}{-group}{-places}
Returns a pattern that matches an integer.
If -base => B
is specified, the integer is in base B, with
2 <= B <= 36
. For bases larger than 10, upper case letters
are used. The default base is 10.
If -sep => P
is specified, the pattern P is required as a
grouping marker within the number. If this option is not given, no
grouping marker is used.
If -group => N
is specified, digits between grouping markers
must be grouped in sequences of exactly N digits. The default value
of N is 3. If -group => N,M
is specified, digits between
grouping markers must be grouped in sequences of at least N digits,
and at most M digits. This option is ignored unless the -sep
option is used.
If -places => N
is specified, the integer recognized must be
exactly N digits wide. If -places => N,M
is specified, the
integer must be at least N wide, and at most M characters. There
is no default, which means that integers are unlimited in size. This
option is ignored if the -sep
option is used.
For example:
$RE{num}{int} # match 1234567 $RE{num}{int}{-sep=>','} # match 1,234,567 $RE{num}{int}{-sep=>',?'} # match 1234567 or 1,234,567 $RE{num}{int}{-sep=>'.'}{-group=>4} # match 1.2345.6789
Under -keep
(see Regexp::Common):
$RE{num}{real}{-base}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
Returns a pattern that matches a floating-point number.
If -base=N
is specified, the number is assumed to be in that base
(with A..Z representing the digits for 11..36). By default, the base is 10.
If -radix=P
is specified, the pattern P is used as the radix point for
the number (i.e. the "decimal point" in base 10). The default is qr/[.]/
.
If -places=N
is specified, the number is assumed to have exactly
N places after the radix point.
If -places=M,N
is specified, the number is assumed to have between
M and N places after the radix point.
By default, the number of places is unrestricted.
If -sep=P
specified, the pattern P is required as a grouping marker
within the pre-radix section of the number. By default, no separator is
allowed.
If -group=N
is specified, digits between grouping separators
must be grouped in sequences of exactly N characters. The default value of
N is 3.
If -expon=P
is specified, the pattern P is used as the exponential
marker. The default value of P is qr/[Ee]/
.
For example:
$RE{num}{real} # matches 123.456 or -0.1234567 $RE{num}{real}{-places=>2} # matches 123.45 or -0.12 $RE{num}{real}{-places=>'0,3'} # matches 123.456 or 0 or 9.8 $RE{num}{real}{-sep=>'[,.]?'} # matches 123,456 or 123.456 $RE{num}{real}{-base=>3'} # matches 121.102
Under -keep
:
$RE{num}{dec}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>10}{...}
$RE{num}{oct}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>8}{...}
$RE{num}{bin}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>2}{...}
$RE{num}{hex}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}{-expon}
A synonym for $RE{num}{real}{-base=>16}{...}
$RE{num}{decimal}{-base}{-radix}{-places}{-sep}{-group}
The same as $RE{num}{real}
, except that an exponent isn't allowed.
Hence, this returns a pattern matching decimal numbers.
If -base=N
is specified, the number is assumed to be in that base
(with A..Z representing the digits for 11..36). By default, the base is 10.
If -radix=P
is specified, the pattern P is used as the radix point for
the number (i.e. the "decimal point" in base 10). The default is qr/[.]/
.
If -places=N
is specified, the number is assumed to have exactly
N places after the radix point.
If -places=M,N
is specified, the number is assumed to have between
M and N places after the radix point.
By default, the number of places is unrestricted.
If -sep=P
specified, the pattern P is required as a grouping marker
within the pre-radix section of the number. By default, no separator is
allowed.
If -group=N
is specified, digits between grouping separators
must be grouped in sequences of exactly N characters. The default value of
N is 3.
For example:
$RE{num}{decimal} # matches 123.456 or -0.1234567 $RE{num}{decimal}{-places=>2} # matches 123.45 or -0.12 $RE{num}{decimal}{-places=>'0,3'} # matches 123.456 or 0 or 9.8 $RE{num}{decimal}{-sep=>'[,.]?'} # matches 123,456 or 123.456 $RE{num}{decimal}{-base=>3'} # matches 121.102
Under -keep
:
$RE{num}{square}
Returns a pattern that matches a (decimal) square. Because Perl's
arithmetic is lossy when using integers over about 53 bits, this pattern
only recognizes numbers less than 9000000000000000, if one uses a
Perl that is configured to use 64 bit integers. Otherwise, the limit
is 2147483647. These restrictions were introduced in versions 2.116
and 2.117 of Regexp::Common. Regardless whether -keep
was set,
the matched number will be returned in $1
.
This pattern is available for version 5.008 and up.
$RE{num}{roman}
Returns a pattern that matches an integer written in Roman numbers. Case doesn't matter. Only the more modern style, that is, no more than three repetitions of a letter, is recognized. The largest number matched is MMMCMXCIX, or 3999. Larger numbers cannot be expressed using ASCII characters. A future version will be able to deal with the Unicode symbols to match larger Roman numbers.
Under -keep
, the number will be captured in $1.
