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

var flags = inputstring.replace(/.*\/([gimy]*)$/, '$1');
var pattern = inputstring.replace(new RegExp('^/(.*?)/'+flags+'$'), '$1');
var regex = new RegExp(pattern, flags);

or

var match = inputstring.match(new RegExp('^/(.*?)/([gimy]*)$'));
// sanity check here
var regex = new RegExp(match[1], match[2]);

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, '');

我建议您还为特殊标志添加单独的复选框或文本框。这样很明显,用户不需要添加任何//。在替换的情况下,提供两个文本字段。这会让你的生活轻松很多。

为什么?因为否则一些用户会添加// s,而其他用户不会。有些会犯语法错误。然后,在去掉//之后,您可能会得到一个语法上有效的正则表达式,但它与用户想要的完全不同,从而导致奇怪的行为(从用户的角度来看)。

这是一个一行程序:str.replace (/[|\\{}()[\]^$+*?.) / g, ' \ \ $ &’)

我从escape-string-regexp NPM模块中得到的。

尝试一下:

escapeStringRegExp.matchOperatorsRe = /[|\\{}()[\]^$+*?.]/g;
function escapeStringRegExp(str) {
    return str.replace(escapeStringRegExp.matchOperatorsRe, '\\$&');
}

console.log(new RegExp(escapeStringRegExp('example.com')));
// => /example\.com/

使用带标记的模板文字支持:

function str2reg(flags = 'u') {
    return (...args) => new RegExp(escapeStringRegExp(evalTemplate(...args))
        , flags)
}

function evalTemplate(strings, ...values) {
    let i = 0
    return strings.reduce((str, string) => `${str}${string}${
        i < values.length ? values[i++] : ''}`, '')
}

console.log(str2reg()`example.com`)
// => /example\.com/u

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);
}

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;
