ns: regexp
preamble: |
  These functions allow user you to search and modify text with regular expressions.

  The syntax of the regular expressions accepted is [Go's `regexp` syntax](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/syntax/#hdr-Syntax),
  and is the same general syntax used by Perl, Python, and other languages.
funcs:
  - name: regexp.Find
    released: v3.1.0
    description: |
      Returns a string holding the text of the leftmost match in `input`
      of the regular expression `expression`.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.FindString`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/#Regexp.FindString) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input to search
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.Find "[a-z]{3}" "foobar"}}'
        foo
      - |
        $ gomplate -i 'no {{ "will not match" | regexp.Find "[0-9]" }}numbers'
        no numbers
  - name: regexp.FindAll
    released: v3.1.0
    description: |
      Returns a list of all successive matches of the regular expression.

      This can be called with 2 or 3 arguments. When called with 2 arguments, the
      `n` argument (number of matches) will be set to `-1`, causing all matches
      to be returned.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.FindAllString`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp#Regexp.FindAllString) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression
      - name: n
        required: false
        description: The number of matches to return
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input to search
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.FindAll "[a-z]{3}" "foobar" | toJSON}}'
        ["foo", "bar"]
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ "foo bar baz qux" | regexp.FindAll "[a-z]{3}" 3 | toJSON}}'
        ["foo", "bar", "baz"]
  - name: regexp.Match
    released: v1.9.0
    description: |
      Returns `true` if a given regular expression matches a given input.

      This returns a boolean which can be used in an `if` condition, for example.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input to test
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ if (.Env.USER | regexp.Match `^h`) }}username ({{.Env.USER}}) starts with h!{{end}}'
        username (hairyhenderson) starts with h!
  - name: regexp.QuoteMeta
    released: v3.7.0
    description: |
      Escapes all regular expression metacharacters in the input. The returned string is a regular expression matching the literal text.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.QuoteMeta`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp#QuoteMeta) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input to escape
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ `{hello}` | regexp.QuoteMeta }}'
        \{hello\}
  - name: regexp.Replace
    released: v1.9.0
    description: |
      Replaces matches of a regular expression with the replacement string.

      The replacement is substituted after expanding variables beginning with `$`.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.ReplaceAllString`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/#Regexp.ReplaceAllString) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression string
      - name: replacement
        required: true
        description: The replacement string
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input string to operate on
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.Replace "(foo)bar" "$1" "foobar"}}'
        foo
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.Replace "(?P<first>[a-zA-Z]+) (?P<last>[a-zA-Z]+)" "${last}, ${first}" "Alan Turing"}}'
        Turing, Alan
  - name: regexp.ReplaceLiteral
    released: v3.1.0
    description: |
      Replaces matches of a regular expression with the replacement string.

      The replacement is substituted directly, without expanding variables
      beginning with `$`.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.ReplaceAllLiteralString`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/#Regexp.ReplaceAllLiteralString) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression string
      - name: replacement
        required: true
        description: The replacement string
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input string to operate on
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.ReplaceLiteral "(foo)bar" "$1" "foobar"}}'
        $1
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ `foo.bar,baz` | regexp.ReplaceLiteral `\W` `$` }}'
        foo$bar$baz
  - name: regexp.Split
    released: v3.1.0
    description: |
      Splits `input` into sub-strings, separated by the expression.

      This can be called with 2 or 3 arguments. When called with 2 arguments, the
      `n` argument (number of matches) will be set to `-1`, causing all sub-strings
      to be returned.

      This is equivalent to [`strings.SplitN`](../strings/#stringssplitn),
      except that regular expressions are supported.

      This function provides the same behaviour as Go's
      [`regexp.Split`](https://pkg.go.dev/regexp/#Regexp.Split) function.
    pipeline: true
    arguments:
      - name: expression
        required: true
        description: The regular expression
      - name: n
        required: false
        description: The number of matches to return
      - name: input
        required: true
        description: The input to search
    examples:
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ regexp.Split `[\s,.]` "foo bar,baz.qux" | toJSON}}'
        ["foo","bar","baz","qux"]
      - |
        $ gomplate -i '{{ "foo bar.baz,qux" | regexp.Split `[\s,.]` 3 | toJSON}}'
        ["foo","bar","baz"]
