// Go offers built-in support for [regular expressions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression).
// Here are some examples of common regexp-related tasks
// in Go.
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"regexp"
)
func main() {
// This tests whether a pattern matches a string.
match, _ := regexp.MatchString("p([a-z]+)ch", "peach")
fmt.Println(match)
// Above we used a string pattern directly, but for
// other regexp tasks you'll need to `Compile` an
// optimized `Regexp` struct.
r, _ := regexp.Compile("p([a-z]+)ch")
// Many methods are available on these structs. Here's
// a match test like we saw earlier.
fmt.Println(r.MatchString("peach"))
// This finds the match for the regexp.
fmt.Println(r.FindString("peach punch"))
// This also finds the first match but returns the
// start and end indexes for the match instead of the
// matching text.
fmt.Println(r.FindStringIndex("peach punch"))
// The `Submatch` variants include information about
// both the whole-pattern matches and the submatches
// within those matches. For example this will return
// information for both `p([a-z]+)ch` and `([a-z]+)`.
fmt.Println(r.FindStringSubmatch("peach punch"))
// Similarly this will return information about the
// indexes of matches and submatches.
fmt.Println(r.FindStringSubmatchIndex("peach punch"))
// The `All` variants of these functions apply to all
// matches in the input, not just the first. For
// example to find all matches for a regexp.
fmt.Println(r.FindAllString("peach punch pinch", -1))
// These `All` variants are available for the other
// functions we saw above as well.
fmt.Println(r.FindAllStringSubmatchIndex(
"peach punch pinch", -1))
// Providing a non-negative integer as the second
// argument to these functions will limit the number
// of matches.
fmt.Println(r.FindAllString("peach punch pinch", 2))
// Our examples above had string arguments and used
// names like `MatchString`. We can also provide
// `[]byte` arguments and drop `String` from the
// function name.
fmt.Println(r.Match([]byte("peach")))
// When creating constants with regular expressions
// you can use the `MustCompile` variation of
// `Compile`. A plain `Compile` won't work for
// constants because it has 2 return values.
r = regexp.MustCompile("p([a-z]+)ch")
fmt.Println(r)
// The `regexp` package can also be used to replace
// subsets of strings with other values.
fmt.Println(r.ReplaceAllString("a peach", "<fruit>"))
// The `Func` variant allows you to transform matched
// text with a given function.
in := []byte("a peach")
out := r.ReplaceAllFunc(in, bytes.ToUpper)
fmt.Println(string(out))
