iOS中有三种方式来实现正则表达式的匹配。现在将他们都记录在这里:
1.利用NSPredicate(谓词)匹配
例如匹配有效邮箱:
NSString *email = @"admin@ruanman.net";
NSString*regex = @"[A-Z0-9a-z._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}";
NSPredicate*predicate = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"SELF MATCHES %@", regex];
BOOL isValid = [predicate evaluateWithObject:email];
谓词匹配比较灵活,但是需要有谓词的相关知识。
2.利用rangeOfString:option:直接查找
NSString*searchText =@"// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.";
NSRangerange = [searchText rangeOfString:@"(?:[^,])*\\."options:NSRegularExpressionSearch];
if(range.location! = NSNotFound) {
NSLog(@"%@", [searchText substringWithRange:range]);
}
options中设定NSRegularExpressionSearch就是表示利用正则表达式匹配,会返回第一个匹配结果的位置。
3.使用正则表达式类
使用系统的正则表达式类(NSRegularExpression)会返回匹配的多个结果。
NSString*searchText = @"// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.";
NSError*error = NULL;
NSRegularExpression*regex = [NSRegularExpressionregularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?:[^,])*\\."options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitiveerror:&error];
NSTextCheckingResult*result= [regex firstMatchInString:searchText options:0range:NSMakeRange(0, [searchText length])];
if(result) {
NSLog(@"%@\n", [searchText substringWithRange:result.range]);
}
