Ada83 -Booch regular expression

Ada83 -Booch regular expression

[c-kif-kif]

Hello,

i'm trying to do some pattern matching in Ada83 with the 
Booch regular expression components - without any success.
Is there anyone who can give me some exemple code
on how to instantiate and use the regular expression components for strings ?

Any help is more than welcome.
Thanks.

The online Booch Components lacks regular expressions code:
   http://www.pushface.org/components/bc/

GNAT's Regular Expressions code (regexp) is here.
   http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/ada/g-regpat.ads

The old Shootout project that was here
   http://www.bagley.org/~doug/shootout/news.shtml
has shifted to here:
   http://dada.perl.it/shootout/
I sent an example program showing how Ada is used when implementing
regular expressions example. Mr Calpini does not reply to my e-mail so
I don't know when my approx 17 samples appear.

Perhaps you can write to <dada from perl.it>, and get the Ada code to
show up later on the website.

Well long time ago I sent some Ada samples to this guy but he told me that he
was dropping the project and that anyway he wanted to do all samples himself.

Yes; the C++ BCs of which the Ada 95 BCs are a translation does
include "pattern matching", but I saw no point in translating it since
99% of pattern matching is over strings and the GNAT code does that
very well.


The OP was after the Ada *83* BCs at

A quote from page 542 of the book _SOFTWARE_COMPONENTS_WITH_ 
_Ada__Structures,_Tools,_and_Subsystems follows:


with pattern_match_regular_expression;
package character_match is
  new pattern_match_regular_expresion
     (item         => character,
      index        => positive,
      items        => string,
      any_item     => '?',
      escape_item  => '/',
      not_item     => '~',
      closure_item => '*',
      start_class  => '{'
      stop_class   => '}',
      is_equal     => "=");

Given that instantiation, we can consider writing patterns
such as:

o  rerecord               The literal string "rerecord"

o  {aeiou}??????ing       A ten character word starting
                          with a vowel and ending in "ing"

o  ~{aeiou}??????????ing  A ten character word starting
                          with anything but a vowel and
                          ending in "ing"

o  10*1                   A 1 follwed by zero or more 0's,
                          followed by a 1

o  100*1                  A 1 follwed by one or more 0's,
                          followed by a 1

o  x/*y                   The literal string "x*y"


end quote



By the way, I have the okay from Grady Booch 
(and his publisher) to put together a version
of the above mentioned book that will be
available online.  I just have not had the 
time to finish it :(

By the way, questions about the Ada 83 Booch
components may also be asked in the chat forum
at AdaPower.  That is where the Original Booch
Components are available for download and is 
where the online version of the book will 
eventually appear. The main URL is:

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Unfortunately I've to work with Ada83, so Gnat and Ada95 Booch
components won't do it for me. But I surely will have a try with the
exemple code from Vincent.
By the way, it would be nice if you could keep me up to date on your
online-version of Grady Booches book.

Thanks again.
