Overview

About

Maintained by Tyler RinkerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

An R framework for constructing and managing human readable regular expressions. It aims to provide tools that enable the user to write regular expressions in a way that is similar to the ways R code is written. The tools allow the user to (1) write in smaller, modular, named, sub-expressions, (2) write top to bottom, rather than a single string (3) comment individual chunks, (4) indent expressions to clearly present regular expression groups, (5) add vertical line spaces and R comments (i.e., #), and (6) test the validity of the concatenated expression and the modular sub-expressions.

Changes in 1.1.0

CHANGES

as.regex no longer converts character strings ro regex class. This is because the function used 'http://rick.measham.id.au/paste/explain'; for parsing, however this website appears not to be operational. This functionality may return if the website is again available or if a suitable replacement regex parser is found. If you have a suggested web based parser please make a suggestion via: https://github.com/trinker/regexr/issues.

From NEWS in the release

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/regexr/regexr_1.1.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "regexr_1.1.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.1.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
