[section:perl_format Perl Format String Syntax]
|
|
|
|
Perl-style format strings treat all characters as literals except
|
|
'$' and '\\' which start placeholder and escape sequences respectively.
|
|
|
|
Placeholder sequences specify that some part of what matched the regular expression
|
|
should be sent to output as follows:
|
|
|
|
[table
|
|
[[Placeholder][Meaning]]
|
|
[[$&][Outputs what matched the whole expression.]]
|
|
[[$MATCH][As $&]]
|
|
[[${^MATCH}][As $&]]
|
|
[[$\`][Outputs the text between the end of the last match found (or the
|
|
start of the text if no previous match was found), and the start
|
|
of the current match.]]
|
|
[[$PREMATCH][As $\`]]
|
|
[[${^PREMATCH}][As $\`]]
|
|
[[$'][Outputs all the text following the end of the current match.]]
|
|
[[$POSTMATCH][As $']]
|
|
[[${^POSTMATCH}][As $']]
|
|
[[$+][Outputs what matched the last marked sub-expression in the regular expression.]]
|
|
[[$LAST_PAREN_MATCH][As $+]]
|
|
[[$LAST_SUBMATCH_RESULT][Outputs what matched the last sub-expression to be actually matched.]]
|
|
[[$^N][As $LAST_SUBMATCH_RESULT]]
|
|
[[$$][Outputs a literal '$']]
|
|
[[$n][Outputs what matched the n'th sub-expression.]]
|
|
[[${n}][Outputs what matched the n'th sub-expression.]]
|
|
[[$+{NAME}][Outputs whatever matched the sub-expression named "NAME".]]
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
Any $-placeholder sequence not listed above, results in '$' being treated
|
|
as a literal.
|
|
|
|
An escape character followed by any character x, outputs that character unless
|
|
x is one of the escape sequences shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[table
|
|
[[Escape][Meaning]]
|
|
[[\\a][Outputs the bell character: '\\a'.]]
|
|
[[\\e][Outputs the ANSI escape character (code point 27).]]
|
|
[[\\f][Outputs a form feed character: '\\f']]
|
|
[[\\n][Outputs a newline character: '\\n'.]]
|
|
[[\\r][Outputs a carriage return character: '\\r'.]]
|
|
[[\\t][Outputs a tab character: '\\t'.]]
|
|
[[\\v][Outputs a vertical tab character: '\\v'.]]
|
|
[[\\xDD][Outputs the character whose hexadecimal code point is 0xDD]]
|
|
[[\\x{DDDD}][Outputs the character whose hexadecimal code point is 0xDDDDD]]
|
|
[[\\cX][Outputs the ANSI escape sequence "escape-X".]]
|
|
[[\\D][If D is a decimal digit in the range 1-9, then outputs the text that matched sub-expression D.]]
|
|
[[\\l][Causes the next character to be outputted, to be output in lower case.]]
|
|
[[\\u][Causes the next character to be outputted, to be output in upper case.]]
|
|
[[\\L][Causes all subsequent characters to be output in lower case, until a \\E is found.]]
|
|
[[\\U][Causes all subsequent characters to be output in upper case, until a \\E is found.]]
|
|
[[\\E][Terminates a \\L or \\U sequence.]]
