之前我在博文中介绍过iOS中自带正则表达式的使用( 传送门),后来我发现其实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 = @“nijino_saki@163.com”; 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."; NSRange range = [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
NSString *searchText = @"// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib."; NSError *error = NULL; NSRegularExpression *regex = [NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:@"(?:[^,])*\\." options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive error:&error]; NSTextCheckingResult *result = [regex firstMatchInString:searchText options:0 range:NSMakeRange(0, [searchText length])]; if (result) { NSLog(@"%@\n", [searchText substringWithRange:result.range]); }
使用系统的正则表达式类(NSRegularExpression)会返回匹配的多个结果。
