tuple_regexp_selecttuple_regexp_selectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelecttuple_regexp_select (Operator)
Name
tuple_regexp_selecttuple_regexp_selectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelecttuple_regexp_select — Select tuple elements matching a regular expression.
Signature
def tuple_regexp_select(data: MaybeSequence[str], expression: MaybeSequence[str]) -> Sequence[str]
def tuple_regexp_select_s(data: MaybeSequence[str], expression: MaybeSequence[str]) -> str
Description
tuple_regexp_selecttuple_regexp_selectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelecttuple_regexp_select applies the regular expression in
ExpressionExpressionExpressionExpressionexpressionexpression to one or more input strings in DataDataDataDatadatadata,
and returns the matching string elements in SelectionSelectionSelectionSelectionselectionselection. This
is convenient, e.g., for filtering a list of files obtained using
the operator list_fileslist_filesListFilesListFilesListFileslist_files.
Please refer to the documentation of tuple_regexp_matchtuple_regexp_matchTupleRegexpMatchTupleRegexpMatchTupleRegexpMatchtuple_regexp_match for syntax
and options of regular expressions. Additionally, tuple_regexp_selecttuple_regexp_selectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelecttuple_regexp_select
supports the option 'invert_match'"invert_match""invert_match""invert_match""invert_match""invert_match", which causes those input strings
to be selected which do not match the regular expression.
For general information about string operations see
Tuple / String Operations.
If the input tuple is empty, the operator returns an empty tuple.
Unicode code points versus bytes
Regular expression matching operates on Unicode code points. One Unicode
code point may be composed of multiple bytes in the UTF-8 string.
If regular expression matching should only match on bytes, this operator can
be switched to byte mode with
set_system('tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode','byte')set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")SetSystem("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte")set_system("tsp_tuple_string_operator_mode","byte"). If
'filename_encoding'"filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding""filename_encoding" is set to 'locale'"locale""locale""locale""locale""locale" (legacy), this
operator always uses the byte mode.
HDevelop In-line Operation
HDevelop provides an in-line operation for tuple_regexp_selecttuple_regexp_selectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelectTupleRegexpSelecttuple_regexp_select,
which can be used in an expression in the following syntax:
Selection := regexp_select(Data, Expression)
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: independent (runs in parallel even with exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
