Description:

regexbuild 1.0.1

regex-build
Build complex one-line regex strings.
The preferred way of building is using a one line chain of calls on the RegexBuild instance.
For anything more complex, using it as a context manager will allow for multiple calls to be made on the same instance.
Instances of RegexBuild may be used interchangeably with strings, allowing for multiple nested instances to be used.
>>> original_regex = r'.*\\Roaming\\(Microsoft|NVIDIA|Adobe\\.*(Asset|Native)Cache)\\'

# Complex example
>>> with RegexBuild(r'.*\\Roaming\\') as build_regex:
... build_regex(
... 'Microsoft', 'NVIDIA', RegexBuild(r'Adobe\\.*')('Asset', 'Native')('Cache'),
... )(r'\\')

>>> original_regex == str(build_regex)
True

# Different ways to build the same regex
>>> with RegexBuild('(?i)', exit='$') as case_insensitive:
... # As one line
... case_insensitive('prefix1_')('word1', 'word2')('_suffix1')
...
... # As context managers
... with case_insensitive('prefix2_') as prefix:
... with prefix('word2', 'word3') as words:
... words('_suffix2')
...
... # As context manager using the "end" parameter
... with case_insensitive('prefix3_', end='_suffix3') as prefix:
... prefix('word4')
... prefix('word5')
...

>>> case_insensitive
'(?i)(prefix1_(word1|word2)_suffix1|prefix2_(word3|word4)_suffix2|prefix3_(word5|word6)_suffix3)$'
