regex/ocl [message #32156] Sat, 07 July 2007 00:48 Go to next message

Hi,

I tried to use regex with ocl.
I follow "Customizing the Environment" topic in the "Advanced
Topics" in the OCL Programmer's Guide. to add new operation to String. (it
called ismatrix())
so I want to verify if my string respect or not the matrix form. (something
like that ((1,2),(3,4)) is accepted)
My constraint is like this
s.ismatrix('^\\((\\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*\\))(,\\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+) *\\))*\\)$')
<> null

I create a java class to verify my regex and it works perfectly.but when I
tested it with ocl it always returns false (the result of the regex is null)

I changed my pattern to simpler one s.ismatrix('\\d') <> null to verify if
my string contains a number. it also return false (independant of s)

I understand that problem in ocl when it evaluate my constraint and not in
the pattern

how can I change my pattern so that ocl gives me the right answer?

thank you

Hi, Asma,

Try this:

s.ismatrix('^\((\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*\))(,\([0-9]+(,[0-9]+)*\)) *\)$') <> null

In OCL string literals, backslashes have no special meaning as they do in
Java.

HTH,

Christian
