I have written a macro that returns a regular expression (already mentioned there), and for a regular expression to be usable in all suitable places, the macro has to return Regex<Substring>
, Regex<(Substring,Substring)>
, or Regex<(Substring,Substring,Substring)>
etc., so I implemented the possible calls
#regexWithCharacterClassesAnd1Group(...)
#regexWithCharacterClassesAnd1Group(...)
#regexWithCharacterClassesAnd2Groups(...)
#regexWithCharacterClassesAnd3Groups(...)
etc. of the macro, until 7 groups. (The user provides a textual regular expression where some parts will be replaced by a list of characters and ranges, so the user should know about the number of groups and at least there is a compiler error if the wrong macro call being used.) I do not see any common type that could be returned (e.g. a RegexComponent
won't be usable in all places), and also no other method to come a better solution, ideally one would like to just call the same
#regexWithCharacterClasses(...)
Has anyone an idea?
