Status: experimental

Compiled regular expressions (Rust regex crate syntax; no backreferences or look-around).

API details and source

The implementation source contains the complete declarations and implementation notes. The table below lists canonical Gossamer call signatures; every item name links directly to its implementation file.

Item	Canonical signature or declaration	Description
Pattern	type Pattern	Compiled pattern handle returned by compile.
captures	fn captures(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> Option<Vec<Option<String>>>	Returns capture groups for the first match; index 0 is the full match.
captures_all	fn captures_all(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> Vec<Vec<Option<String>>>	Returns capture groups for every match in the text.
compile	fn compile(pattern: String) -> Result<regex::Pattern, errors::Error>	Parses a pattern into a reusable Pattern or returns an Err.
find	fn find(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> Option<(i64, i64, String)>	Returns the first match as (start, end, text), or None.
find_all	fn find_all(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> Vec<(i64, i64, String)>	Returns every non-overlapping match as (start, end, text).
is_match	fn is_match(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> bool	Returns whether the pattern matches anywhere in the text.
replace	fn replace(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String, replacement: String) -> String	Replaces the first match with the given replacement (supports $N).
replace_all	fn replace_all(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String, replacement: String) -> String	Replaces every non-overlapping match.
split	fn split(pattern: regex::Pattern, text: String) -> Vec<String>	Splits the text on every pattern match.
