我正在用HTML和JavaScript设计一个正则表达式测试器。用户将输入一个正则表达式,一个字符串,并通过单选按钮选择他们想要测试的函数(例如搜索,匹配,替换等),当该函数以指定的参数运行时,程序将显示结果。自然会有额外的文本框用于替换额外的参数等等。

My problem is getting the string from the user and turning it into a regular expression. If I say that they don't need to have //'s around the regex they enter, then they can't set flags, like g and i. So they have to have the //'s around the expression, but how can I convert that string to a regex? It can't be a literal since its a string, and I can't pass it to the RegExp constructor since its not a string without the //'s. Is there any other way to make a user input string into a regex? Will I have to parse the string and flags of the regex with the //'s then construct it another way? Should I have them enter a string, and then enter the flags separately?


当前回答

在我的例子中,用户输入有时被分隔符包围,有时没有。所以我又加了一个案例。

var regParts = inputstring.match(/^\/(.*?)\/([gim]*)$/);
if (regParts) {
    // the parsed pattern had delimiters and modifiers. handle them. 
    var regexp = new RegExp(regParts[1], regParts[2]);
} else {
    // we got pattern string without delimiters
    var regexp = new RegExp(inputstring);
}

其他回答

感谢前面的回答,这个块作为一个通用的解决方案应用一个可配置的字符串到RegEx ..过滤文本:

var permittedChars = '^a-z0-9 _,.?!@+<>';
permittedChars = '[' + permittedChars + ']';

var flags = 'gi';
var strFilterRegEx = new RegExp(permittedChars, flags);

log.debug ('strFilterRegEx: ' + strFilterRegEx);

strVal = strVal.replace(strFilterRegEx, '');
// this replaces hard code solt:
// strVal = strVal.replace(/[^a-z0-9 _,.?!@+]/ig, '');

使用JavaScript的RegExp对象构造函数。

var re = new RegExp("\\w+");
re.test("hello");

可以将标志作为第二个字符串参数传递给构造函数。详细信息请参见文档。

下面是一个处理自定义分隔符和无效标志的线性函数

// One liner var stringToRegex = (s, m) => (m = s.match(/^([\/~@;%#'])(.*?)\1([gimsuy]*)$/)) ? new RegExp(m[2], m[3].split('').filter((i, p, s) => s.indexOf(i) === p).join('')) : new RegExp(s); // Readable version function stringToRegex(str) { const match = str.match(/^([\/~@;%#'])(.*?)\1([gimsuy]*)$/); return match ? new RegExp( match[2], match[3] // Filter redundant flags, to avoid exceptions .split('') .filter((char, pos, flagArr) => flagArr.indexOf(char) === pos) .join('') ) : new RegExp(str); } console.log(stringToRegex('/(foo)?\/bar/i')); console.log(stringToRegex('#(foo)?\/bar##gi')); //Custom delimiters console.log(stringToRegex('#(foo)?\/bar##gig')); //Duplicate flags are filtered out console.log(stringToRegex('/(foo)?\/bar')); // Treated as string console.log(stringToRegex('gig')); // Treated as string

使用RegExp对象构造函数从字符串创建正则表达式:

var re = new RegExp("a|b", "i");
// same as
var re = /a|b/i;

安全了,但也不安全。(一个不能访问任何其他上下文的函数版本会很好。)

const regexp = Function('return ' + string)()
