MediaWiki's regular expression syntax works like this: Most characters represent themselves. For example, insource:/C-3p0/ will search for pages containing the literal string "C-3p0" (case-sensitive). The following metacharacters are treated specially: . + * ? | { [ ] ( ) " \ # @ < ~. Any metacharacter can be escaped by preceding it with a ...
Regular languages are a category of languages (sometimes termed Chomsky Type 3) which can be matched by a state machine (more specifically, by a deterministic finite automaton or a nondeterministic finite automaton) constructed from a regular expression. In particular, a regular language can match constructs like "A follows B", "Either A or B ...
In computer science, Thompson's construction algorithm, also called the McNaughton–Yamada–Thompson algorithm, [1] is a method of transforming a regular expression into an equivalent nondeterministic finite automaton (NFA). [2] This NFA can be used to match strings against the regular expression.
For each a ∈ Σ (a belongs to Σ), the singleton language {a } is a regular language. If A is a regular language, A* (Kleene star) is a regular language. Due to this, the empty string language {ε} is also regular. If A and B are regular languages, then A ∪ B (union) and A • B (concatenation) are regular languages. No other languages over ...
Algebraic laws for regular expressions can be obtained using a method by Gischer which is best explained along an example: In order to check whether (X+Y) ∗ and (X ∗ Y ∗) ∗ denote the same regular language, for all regular expressions X, Y, it is necessary and sufficient to check whether the particular regular expressions (a+b) ∗ and ...
RE2 is a software library which implements a regular expression engine. It uses finite-state machines, in contrast to most other regular expression libraries. RE2 supports a C++ interface. RE2 was implemented by Google and Google uses RE2 for Google products. [3]
Mapping [note 2] each equivalence E to the corresponding quotient automaton language L(A a,b,c,d / E) obtains the partially ordered set shown in the picture. Each node's language is denoted by a regular expression. The language may be recognized by quotient automata w.r.t. different equivalence relations, all of which are shown below the node.
