In normal use of PCRE, if the subject string that is passed to
|
| 31 |
<b>pcre_exec()</b> or <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> matches as far as it goes, but is
|
| 32 |
too short to match the entire pattern, PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH is returned. There
|
| 33 |
are circumstances where it might be helpful to distinguish this case from other
|
| 34 |
cases in which there is no match.
|
| 35 |
</P>
|
| 36 |
<P>
|
| 37 |
Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to type in data
|
| 38 |
for a field with specific formatting requirements. An example might be a date
|
| 39 |
in the form <i>ddmmmyy</i>, defined by this pattern:
|
| 40 |
<pre>
|
| 41 |
^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$
|
| 42 |
</pre>
|
| 43 |
If the application sees the user's keystrokes one by one, and can check that
|
| 44 |
what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is able to raise an error
|
| 45 |
as soon as a mistake is made, by beeping and not reflecting the character that
|
| 46 |
has been typed, for example. This immediate feedback is likely to be a better
|
| 47 |
user interface than a check that is delayed until the entire string has been
|
| 48 |
entered. Partial matching can also sometimes be useful when the subject string
|
| 49 |
is very long and is not all available at once.
|
| 50 |
</P>
|
| 51 |
<P>
|
| 52 |
PCRE supports partial matching by means of the PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT and
|
| 53 |
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD options, which can be set when calling <b>pcre_exec()</b> or
|
| 54 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>. For backwards compatibility, PCRE_PARTIAL is a synonym
|
| 55 |
for PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT. The essential difference between the two options is
|
| 56 |
whether or not a partial match is preferred to an alternative complete match,
|
| 57 |
though the details differ between the two matching functions. If both options
|
| 58 |
are set, PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD takes precedence.
|
| 59 |
</P>
|
| 60 |
<P>
|
| 61 |
Setting a partial matching option disables two of PCRE's optimizations. PCRE
|
| 62 |
remembers the last literal byte in a pattern, and abandons matching immediately
|
| 63 |
if such a byte is not present in the subject string. This optimization cannot
|
| 64 |
be used for a subject string that might match only partially. If the pattern
|
| 65 |
was studied, PCRE knows the minimum length of a matching string, and does not
|
| 66 |
bother to run the matching function on shorter strings. This optimization is
|
| 67 |
also disabled for partial matching.
|
| 68 |
</P>
|
| 69 |
<br><a name="SEC2" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING USING pcre_exec()</a><br>
|
| 70 |
<P>
|
| 71 |
A partial match occurs during a call to <b>pcre_exec()</b> whenever the end of
|
| 72 |
the subject string is reached successfully, but matching cannot continue
|
| 73 |
because more characters are needed. However, at least one character must have
|
| 74 |
been matched. (In other words, a partial match can never be an empty string.)
|
| 75 |
</P>
|
| 76 |
<P>
|
| 77 |
If PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is set, the partial match is remembered, but matching
|
| 78 |
continues as normal, and other alternatives in the pattern are tried. If no
|
| 79 |
complete match can be found, <b>pcre_exec()</b> returns PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL
|
| 80 |
instead of PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH. If there are at least two slots in the offsets
|
| 81 |
vector, the first of them is set to the offset of the earliest character that
|
| 82 |
was inspected when the partial match was found. For convenience, the second
|
| 83 |
offset points to the end of the string so that a substring can easily be
|
| 84 |
identified.
|
| 85 |
</P>
|
| 86 |
<P>
|
| 87 |
For the majority of patterns, the first offset identifies the start of the
|
| 88 |
partially matched string. However, for patterns that contain lookbehind
|
| 89 |
assertions, or \K, or begin with \b or \B, earlier characters have been
|
| 90 |
inspected while carrying out the match. For example:
|
| 91 |
<pre>
|
| 92 |
/(?<=abc)123/
|
| 93 |
</pre>
|
| 94 |
This pattern matches "123", but only if it is preceded by "abc". If the subject
|
| 95 |
string is "xyzabc12", the offsets after a partial match are for the substring
|
| 96 |
"abc12", because all these characters are needed if another match is tried
|
| 97 |
with extra characters added.
|
| 98 |
</P>
|
| 99 |
<P>
|
| 100 |
If there is more than one partial match, the first one that was found provides
|
| 101 |
the data that is returned. Consider this pattern:
|
| 102 |
<pre>
|
| 103 |
/123\w+X|dogY/
|
| 104 |
</pre>
|
| 105 |
If this is matched against the subject string "abc123dog", both
|
| 106 |
alternatives fail to match, but the end of the subject is reached during
|
| 107 |
matching, so PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned instead of PCRE_ERROR_NOMATCH. The
|
| 108 |
offsets are set to 3 and 9, identifying "123dog" as the first partial match
|
| 109 |
that was found. (In this example, there are two partial matches, because "dog"
|
| 110 |
on its own partially matches the second alternative.)
|
| 111 |
</P>
|
| 112 |
<P>
|
| 113 |
If PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set for <b>pcre_exec()</b>, it returns
|
| 114 |
PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL as soon as a partial match is found, without continuing to
|
| 115 |
search for possible complete matches. The difference between the two options
|
| 116 |
can be illustrated by a pattern such as:
|
| 117 |
<pre>
|
| 118 |
/dog(sbody)?/
|
| 119 |
</pre>
|
| 120 |
This matches either "dog" or "dogsbody", greedily (that is, it prefers the
|
| 121 |
longer string if possible). If it is matched against the string "dog" with
|
| 122 |
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT, it yields a complete match for "dog". However, if
|
| 123 |
PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set, the result is PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL. On the other hand,
|
| 124 |
if the pattern is made ungreedy the result is different:
|
| 125 |
<pre>
|
| 126 |
/dog(sbody)??/
|
| 127 |
</pre>
|
| 128 |
In this case the result is always a complete match because <b>pcre_exec()</b>
|
| 129 |
finds that first, and it never continues after finding a match. It might be
|
| 130 |
easier to follow this explanation by thinking of the two patterns like this:
|
| 131 |
<pre>
|
| 132 |
/dog(sbody)?/ is the same as /dogsbody|dog/
|
| 133 |
/dog(sbody)??/ is the same as /dog|dogsbody/
|
| 134 |
</pre>
|
| 135 |
The second pattern will never match "dogsbody" when <b>pcre_exec()</b> is
|
| 136 |
used, because it will always find the shorter match first.
|
| 137 |
</P>
|
| 138 |
<br><a name="SEC3" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING USING pcre_dfa_exec()</a><br>
|
| 139 |
<P>
|
| 140 |
The <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> function moves along the subject string character by
|
| 141 |
character, without backtracking, searching for all possible matches
|
| 142 |
simultaneously. If the end of the subject is reached before the end of the
|
| 143 |
pattern, there is the possibility of a partial match, again provided that at
|
| 144 |
least one character has matched.
|
| 145 |
</P>
|
| 146 |
<P>
|
| 147 |
When PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is set, PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL is returned only if there
|
| 148 |
have been no complete matches. Otherwise, the complete matches are returned.
|
| 149 |
However, if PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set, a partial match takes precedence over any
|
| 150 |
complete matches. The portion of the string that was inspected when the longest
|
| 151 |
partial match was found is set as the first matching string, provided there are
|
| 152 |
at least two slots in the offsets vector.
|
| 153 |
</P>
|
| 154 |
<P>
|
| 155 |
Because <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> always searches for all possible matches, and
|
| 156 |
there is no difference between greedy and ungreedy repetition, its behaviour is
|
| 157 |
different from <b>pcre_exec</b> when PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set. Consider the
|
| 158 |
string "dog" matched against the ungreedy pattern shown above:
|
| 159 |
<pre>
|
| 160 |
/dog(sbody)??/
|
| 161 |
</pre>
|
| 162 |
Whereas <b>pcre_exec()</b> stops as soon as it finds the complete match for
|
| 163 |
"dog", <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> also finds the partial match for "dogsbody", and
|
| 164 |
so returns that when PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD is set.
|
| 165 |
</P>
|
| 166 |
<br><a name="SEC4" href="#TOC1">PARTIAL MATCHING AND WORD BOUNDARIES</a><br>
|
| 167 |
<P>
|
| 168 |
If a pattern ends with one of sequences \b or \B, which test for word
|
| 169 |
boundaries, partial matching with PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT can give counter-intuitive
|
| 170 |
results. Consider this pattern:
|
| 171 |
<pre>
|
| 172 |
/\bcat\b/
|
| 173 |
</pre>
|
| 174 |
This matches "cat", provided there is a word boundary at either end. If the
|
| 175 |
subject string is "the cat", the comparison of the final "t" with a following
|
| 176 |
character cannot take place, so a partial match is found. However,
|
| 177 |
<b>pcre_exec()</b> carries on with normal matching, which matches \b at the end
|
| 178 |
of the subject when the last character is a letter, thus finding a complete
|
| 179 |
match. The result, therefore, is <i>not</i> PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL. The same thing
|
| 180 |
happens with <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>, because it also finds the complete match.
|
| 181 |
</P>
|
| 182 |
<P>
|
| 183 |
Using PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD in this case does yield PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL, because
|
| 184 |
then the partial match takes precedence.
|
| 185 |
</P>

| 186 |
<br><a name="SEC5" href="#TOC1">FORMERLY RESTRICTED PATTERNS</a><br>
|
| 187 |
<P>
|
| 188 |
For releases of PCRE prior to 8.00, because of the way certain internal
|
| 189 |
optimizations were implemented in the <b>pcre_exec()</b> function, the
|
| 190 |
PCRE_PARTIAL option (predecessor of PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT) could not be used with
|
| 191 |
all patterns. From release 8.00 onwards, the restrictions no longer apply, and
|
| 192 |
partial matching with <b>pcre_exec()</b> can be requested for any pattern.
|
| 193 |
</P>
|
| 194 |
<P>
|
| 195 |
Items that were formerly restricted were repeated single characters and
|
| 196 |
repeated metasequences. If PCRE_PARTIAL was set for a pattern that did not
|
| 197 |
conform to the restrictions, <b>pcre_exec()</b> returned the error code
|
| 198 |
PCRE_ERROR_BADPARTIAL (-13). This error code is no longer in use. The
|
| 199 |
PCRE_INFO_OKPARTIAL call to <b>pcre_fullinfo()</b> to find out if a compiled
|
| 200 |
pattern can be used for partial matching now always returns 1.
|
| 201 |
</P>
|
| 202 |
<br><a name="SEC6" href="#TOC1">EXAMPLE OF PARTIAL MATCHING USING PCRETEST</a><br>
|
| 203 |
<P>
|
| 204 |
If the escape sequence \P is present in a <b>pcretest</b> data line, the
|
| 205 |
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT option is used for the match. Here is a run of <b>pcretest</b>
|
| 206 |
that uses the date example quoted above:
|
| 207 |
<pre>
|
| 208 |
re> /^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$/
|
| 209 |
data> 25jun04\P
|
| 210 |
0: 25jun04
|
| 211 |
1: jun
|
| 212 |
data> 25dec3\P
|
| 213 |
Partial match: 23dec3
|
| 214 |
data> 3ju\P
|
| 215 |
Partial match: 3ju
|
| 216 |
data> 3juj\P
|
| 217 |
No match
|
| 218 |
data> j\P
|
| 219 |
No match
|
| 220 |
</pre>
|
| 221 |
The first data string is matched completely, so <b>pcretest</b> shows the
|
| 222 |
matched substrings. The remaining four strings do not match the complete
|
| 223 |
pattern, but the first two are partial matches. Similar output is obtained
|
| 224 |
when <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> is used.
|
| 225 |
</P>
|
| 226 |
<P>
|
| 227 |
If the escape sequence \P is present more than once in a <b>pcretest</b> data
|
| 228 |
line, the PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD option is set for the match.
|
| 229 |
</P>
|
| 230 |
<br><a name="SEC7" href="#TOC1">MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING WITH pcre_dfa_exec()</a><br>
|
| 231 |
<P>
|
| 232 |
When a partial match has been found using <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>, it is possible
|
| 233 |
to continue the match by providing additional subject data and calling
|
| 234 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> again with the same compiled regular expression, this
|
| 235 |
time setting the PCRE_DFA_RESTART option. You must pass the same working
|
| 236 |
space as before, because this is where details of the previous partial match
|
| 237 |
are stored. Here is an example using <b>pcretest</b>, using the \R escape
|
| 238 |
sequence to set the PCRE_DFA_RESTART option (\D specifies the use of
|
| 239 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>):
|
| 240 |
<pre>
|
| 241 |
re> /^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$/
|
| 242 |
data> 23ja\P\D
|
| 243 |
Partial match: 23ja
|
| 244 |
data> n05\R\D
|
| 245 |
0: n05
|
| 246 |
</pre>
|
| 247 |
The first call has "23ja" as the subject, and requests partial matching; the
|
| 248 |
second call has "n05" as the subject for the continued (restarted) match.
|
| 249 |
Notice that when the match is complete, only the last part is shown; PCRE does
|
| 250 |
not retain the previously partially-matched string. It is up to the calling
|
| 251 |
program to do that if it needs to.
|
| 252 |
</P>
|
| 253 |
<P>
|
| 254 |
You can set the PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT or PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD options with
|
| 255 |
PCRE_DFA_RESTART to continue partial matching over multiple segments. This
|
| 256 |
facility can be used to pass very long subject strings to
|
| 257 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>.
|
| 258 |
</P>
|
| 259 |
<br><a name="SEC8" href="#TOC1">MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING WITH pcre_exec()</a><br>
|
| 260 |
<P>
|
| 261 |
From release 8.00, <b>pcre_exec()</b> can also be used to do multi-segment
|
| 262 |
matching. Unlike <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>, it is not possible to restart the
|
| 263 |
previous match with a new segment of data. Instead, new data must be added to
|
| 264 |
the previous subject string, and the entire match re-run, starting from the
|
| 265 |
point where the partial match occurred. Earlier data can be discarded.
|
| 266 |
Consider an unanchored pattern that matches dates:
|
| 267 |
<pre>
|
| 268 |
re> /\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d/
|
| 269 |
data> The date is 23ja\P
|
| 270 |
Partial match: 23ja
|
| 271 |
</pre>
|
| 272 |
At this stage, an application could discard the text preceding "23ja", add on
|
| 273 |
text from the next segment, and call <b>pcre_exec()</b> again. Unlike
|
| 274 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>, the entire matching string must always be available, and
|
| 275 |
the complete matching process occurs for each call, so more memory and more
|
| 276 |
processing time is needed.
|
| 277 |
</P>
|
| 278 |
<P>
|
| 279 |
<b>Note:</b> If the pattern contains lookbehind assertions, or \K, or starts
|
| 280 |
with \b or \B, the string that is returned for a partial match will include
|
| 281 |
characters that precede the partially matched string itself, because these must
|
| 282 |
be retained when adding on more characters for a subsequent matching attempt.
|
| 283 |
</P>
|
| 284 |
<br><a name="SEC9" href="#TOC1">ISSUES WITH MULTI-SEGMENT MATCHING</a><br>
|
| 285 |
<P>
|
| 286 |
Certain types of pattern may give problems with multi-segment matching,
|
| 287 |
whichever matching function is used.
|
| 288 |
</P>
|
| 289 |
<P>
|
| 290 |
1. If the pattern contains tests for the beginning or end of a line, you need
|
| 291 |
to pass the PCRE_NOTBOL or PCRE_NOTEOL options, as appropriate, when the
|
| 292 |
subject string for any call does not contain the beginning or end of a line.
|
| 293 |
</P>
|
| 294 |
<P>
|
| 295 |
2. Lookbehind assertions at the start of a pattern are catered for in the
|
| 296 |
offsets that are returned for a partial match. However, in theory, a lookbehind
|
| 297 |
assertion later in the pattern could require even earlier characters to be
|
| 298 |
inspected, and it might not have been reached when a partial match occurs. This
|
| 299 |
is probably an extremely unlikely case; you could guard against it to a certain
|
| 300 |
extent by always including extra characters at the start.
|
| 301 |
</P>
|
| 302 |
<P>
|
| 303 |
3. Matching a subject string that is split into multiple segments may not
|
| 304 |
always produce exactly the same result as matching over one single long string,
|
| 305 |
especially when PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT is used. The section "Partial Matching and
|
| 306 |
Word Boundaries" above describes an issue that arises if the pattern ends with
|
| 307 |
\b or \B. Another kind of difference may occur when there are multiple
|
| 308 |
matching possibilities, because a partial match result is given only when there
|
| 309 |
are no completed matches. This means that as soon as the shortest match has
|
| 310 |
been found, continuation to a new subject segment is no longer possible.
|
| 311 |
Consider again this <b>pcretest</b> example:
|
| 312 |
<pre>
|
| 313 |
re> /dog(sbody)?/
|
| 314 |
data> dogsb\P
|
| 315 |
0: dog
|
| 316 |
data> do\P\D
|
| 317 |
Partial match: do
|
| 318 |
data> gsb\R\P\D
|
| 319 |
0: g
|
| 320 |
data> dogsbody\D
|
| 321 |
0: dogsbody
|
| 322 |
1: dog
|
| 323 |
</pre>
|
| 324 |
The first data line passes the string "dogsb" to <b>pcre_exec()</b>, setting the
|
| 325 |
PCRE_PARTIAL_SOFT option. Although the string is a partial match for
|
| 326 |
"dogsbody", the result is not PCRE_ERROR_PARTIAL, because the shorter string
|
| 327 |
"dog" is a complete match. Similarly, when the subject is presented to
|
| 328 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> in several parts ("do" and "gsb" being the first two) the
|
| 329 |
match stops when "dog" has been found, and it is not possible to continue. On
|
| 330 |
the other hand, if "dogsbody" is presented as a single string,
|
| 331 |
<b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b> finds both matches.

|
| 334 |
Because of these problems, it is probably best to use PCRE_PARTIAL_HARD when
|
| 335 |
matching multi-segment data. The example above then behaves differently:
|
| 336 |
<pre>
|
| 337 |
re> /dog(sbody)?/
|
| 338 |
data> dogsb\P\P
|
| 339 |
Partial match: dogsb
|
| 340 |
data> do\P\D
|
| 341 |
Partial match: do
|
| 342 |
data> gsb\R\P\P\D
|
| 343 |
Partial match: gsb
|
| 344 |
|
| 345 |
</PRE>
|
| 346 |
</P>
|
| 347 |

4. Patterns that contain alternatives at the top level which do not all
|
| 349 |
start with the same pattern item may not work as expected when
|
| 350 |
PCRE_DFA_RESTART is used with <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>. For example, consider this
|
| 351 |
pattern:
|
| 352 |
<pre>
|
| 353 |
1234|3789
|
| 354 |
</pre>
|
| 355 |
If the first part of the subject is "ABC123", a partial match of the first
|
| 356 |
alternative is found at offset 3. There is no partial match for the second
|
| 357 |
alternative, because such a match does not start at the same point in the
|
| 358 |
subject string. Attempting to continue with the string "7890" does not yield a
|
| 359 |
match because only those alternatives that match at one point in the subject
|
| 360 |
are remembered. The problem arises because the start of the second alternative
|
| 361 |
matches within the first alternative. There is no problem with anchored
|
| 362 |
patterns or patterns such as:
|
| 363 |
<pre>
|
| 364 |
1234|ABCD
|
| 365 |
</pre>
|
| 366 |
where no string can be a partial match for both alternatives. This is not a
|
| 367 |
problem if <b>pcre_exec()</b> is used, because the entire match has to be rerun
|
| 368 |
each time:
|
| 369 |
<pre>
|
| 370 |
re> /1234|3789/
|
| 371 |
data> ABC123\P
|
| 372 |
Partial match: 123
|
| 373 |
data> 1237890
|
| 374 |
0: 3789
|
| 375 |
</pre>
|
| 376 |
Of course, instead of using PCRE_DFA_PARTIAL, the same technique of re-running
|
| 377 |
the entire match can also be used with <b>pcre_dfa_exec()</b>. Another
|
| 378 |
possibility is to work with two buffers. If a partial match at offset <i>n</i>
|
| 379 |
in the first buffer is followed by "no match" when PCRE_DFA_RESTART is used on
|
| 380 |
the second buffer, you can then try a new match starting at offset <i>n+1</i> in
|
| 381 |
the first buffer.
