regex - OS X sed-E no acepta expresiones regulares extendidas



macos (2)

ERE (expresiones regulares extendidas) se describen en POSIX en expresiones regulares (sorpresa) o en Mac OS X debajo de man re_format . Los ERE no usan la notación de estilo PCRE /d para el dígito medio.

Tendrá que usar [0-9] o [[:digit:]] para significar el dígito.

$ echo "foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar" | > sed -E ''s/[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2} [0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}/FOUND/g'' foo bar FOUND foo bar $ echo "foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar" | > sed -E ''s/[[:digit:]]{4}-[[:digit:]]{2}-[[:digit:]]{2} [[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}:[[:digit:]]{2}/FOUND/g'' foo bar FOUND foo bar $

¿Qué pasa con / d?

En mi Mac OS X (10.7.4), el man re_format no dice nada sobre /d dígitos coincidentes.

RE_FORMAT(7) BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual RE_FORMAT(7) NAME re_format -- POSIX 1003.2 regular expressions DESCRIPTION Regular expressions (``REs''''), as defined in IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2''''), come in two forms: modern REs (roughly those of egrep(1); 1003.2 calls these ``extended'''' REs) and obsolete REs (roughly those of ed(1); 1003.2 ``basic'''' REs). Obsolete REs mostly exist for backward compatibility in some old programs; they will be discussed at the end. IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'''') leaves some aspects of RE syntax and seman- tics open; `='' marks decisions on these aspects that may not be fully portable to other IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'''') implementations. A (modern) RE is one= or more non-empty= branches, separated by `|''. It matches anything that matches one of the branches. A branch is one= or more pieces, concatenated. It matches a match for the first, followed by a match for the second, etc. A piece is an atom possibly followed by a single= `*'', `+'', `?'', or bound. An atom followed by `*'' matches a sequence of 0 or more matches of the atom. An atom followed by `+'' matches a sequence of 1 or more matches of the atom. An atom followed by `?'' matches a sequence of 0 or 1 matches of the atom. A bound is `{'' followed by an unsigned decimal integer, possibly followed by `,'' possibly followed by another unsigned decimal integer, always fol- lowed by `}''. The integers must lie between 0 and RE_DUP_MAX (255=) inclusive, and if there are two of them, the first may not exceed the second. An atom followed by a bound containing one integer i and no comma matches a sequence of exactly i matches of the atom. An atom fol- lowed by a bound containing one integer i and a comma matches a sequence of i or more matches of the atom. An atom followed by a bound containing two integers i and j matches a sequence of i through j (inclusive) matches of the atom. An atom is a regular expression enclosed in `()'' (matching a match for the regular expression), an empty set of `()'' (matching the null string)=, a bracket expression (see below), `.'' (matching any single character), `^'' (matching the null string at the beginning of a line), `$'' (matching the null string at the end of a line), a `/' followed by one of the characters `^.[$()|*+?{/' (matching that character taken as an ordinary character), a `/' followed by any other character= (matching that character taken as an ordinary character, as if the `/' had not been present=), or a single character with no other significance (matching that character). A `{'' followed by a character other than a digit is an ordinary character, not the beginning of a bound=. It is illegal to end an RE with `/'. A bracket expression is a list of characters enclosed in `[]''. It nor- mally matches any single character from the list (but see below). If the list begins with `^'', it matches any single character (but see below) not from the rest of the list. If two characters in the list are separated by `-'', this is shorthand for the full range of characters between those two (inclusive) in the collating sequence, e.g. `[0-9]'' in ASCII matches any decimal digit. It is illegal= for two ranges to share an endpoint, e.g. `a-c-e''. Ranges are very collating-sequence-dependent, and portable programs should avoid relying on them. To include a literal `]'' in the list, make it the first character (fol- lowing a possible `^''). To include a literal `-'', make it the first or last character, or the second endpoint of a range. To use a literal `-'' as the first endpoint of a range, enclose it in `[.'' and `.]'' to make it a collating element (see below). With the exception of these and some combinations using `['' (see next paragraphs), all other special charac- ters, including `/', lose their special significance within a bracket expression. Within a bracket expression, a collating element (a character, a multi- character sequence that collates as if it were a single character, or a collating-sequence name for either) enclosed in `[.'' and `.]'' stands for the sequence of characters of that collating element. The sequence is a single element of the bracket expression''s list. A bracket expression containing a multi-character collating element can thus match more than one character, e.g. if the collating sequence includes a `ch'' collating element, then the RE `[[.ch.]]*c'' matches the first five characters of `chchcc''. Within a bracket expression, a collating element enclosed in `[='' and `=]'' is an equivalence class, standing for the sequences of characters of all collating elements equivalent to that one, including itself. (If there are no other equivalent collating elements, the treatment is as if the enclosing delimiters were `[.'' and `.]''.) For example, if `x'' and `y'' are the members of an equivalence class, then `[[=x=]]'', `[[=y=]]'', and `[xy]'' are all synonymous. An equivalence class may not= be an end- point of a range. Within a bracket expression, the name of a character class enclosed in `[:'' and `:]'' stands for the list of all characters belonging to that class. Standard character class names are: alnum digit punct alpha graph space blank lower upper cntrl print xdigit These stand for the character classes defined in ctype(3). A locale may provide others. A character class may not be used as an endpoint of a range. A bracketed expression like `[[:class:]]'' can be used to match a single character that belongs to a character class. The reverse, matching any character that does not belong to a specific class, the negation operator of bracket expressions may be used: `[^[:class:]]''. There are two special cases= of bracket expressions: the bracket expres- sions `[[:<:]]'' and `[[:>:]]'' match the null string at the beginning and end of a word respectively. A word is defined as a sequence of word characters which is neither preceded nor followed by word characters. A word character is an alnum character (as defined by ctype(3)) or an underscore. This is an extension, compatible with but not specified by IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2''''), and should be used with caution in soft- ware intended to be portable to other systems. In the event that an RE could match more than one substring of a given string, the RE matches the one starting earliest in the string. If the RE could match more than one substring starting at that point, it matches the longest. Subexpressions also match the longest possible substrings, subject to the constraint that the whole match be as long as possible, with subexpressions starting earlier in the RE taking priority over ones starting later. Note that higher-level subexpressions thus take priority over their lower-level component subexpressions. Match lengths are measured in characters, not collating elements. A null string is considered longer than no match at all. For example, `bb*'' matches the three middle characters of `abbbc'', `(wee|week)(knights|nights)'' matches all ten characters of `weeknights'', when `(.*).*'' is matched against `abc'' the parenthesized subexpression matches all three characters, and when `(a*)*'' is matched against `bc'' both the whole RE and the parenthesized subexpression match the null string. If case-independent matching is specified, the effect is much as if all case distinctions had vanished from the alphabet. When an alphabetic that exists in multiple cases appears as an ordinary character outside a bracket expression, it is effectively transformed into a bracket expres- sion containing both cases, e.g. `x'' becomes `[xX]''. When it appears inside a bracket expression, all case counterparts of it are added to the bracket expression, so that (e.g.) `[x]'' becomes `[xX]'' and `[^x]'' becomes `[^xX]''. No particular limit is imposed on the length of REs=. Programs intended to be portable should not employ REs longer than 256 bytes, as an imple- mentation can refuse to accept such REs and remain POSIX-compliant. Obsolete (``basic'''') regular expressions differ in several respects. `|'' is an ordinary character and there is no equivalent for its functional- ity. `+'' and `?'' are ordinary characters, and their functionality can be expressed using bounds (`{1,}'' or `{0,1}'' respectively). Also note that `x+'' in modern REs is equivalent to `xx*''. The delimiters for bounds are `/{'' and `/}'', with `{'' and `}'' by themselves ordinary characters. The parentheses for nested subexpressions are `/('' and `/)'', with `('' and `)'' by themselves ordinary characters. `^'' is an ordinary character except at the beginning of the RE or= the beginning of a parenthesized subex- pression, `$'' is an ordinary character except at the end of the RE or= the end of a parenthesized subexpression, and `*'' is an ordinary charac- ter if it appears at the beginning of the RE or the beginning of a paren- thesized subexpression (after a possible leading `^''). Finally, there is one new type of atom, a back reference: `/' followed by a non-zero deci- mal digit d matches the same sequence of characters matched by the dth parenthesized subexpression (numbering subexpressions by the positions of their opening parentheses, left to right), so that (e.g.) `/([bc]/)/1'' matches `bb'' or `cc'' but not `bc''. SEE ALSO regex(3) Regular Expression Notation, IEEE Std, 1003.2, section 2.8. BUGS Having two kinds of REs is a botch. The current IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'''') spec says that `)'' is an ordi- nary character in the absence of an unmatched `(''; this was an uninten- tional result of a wording error, and change is likely. Avoid relying on it. Back references are a dreadful botch, posing major problems for efficient implementations. They are also somewhat vaguely defined (does `a/(/(b/)*/2/)*d'' match `abbbd''?). Avoid using them. IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'''') specification of case-independent matching is vague. The ``one case implies all cases'''' definition given above is current consensus among implementors as to the right interpretation. The syntax for word boundaries is incredibly ugly.

He estado probando varias maneras de hacer algunas cosas básicas con sed en OS X. Aquí están los resultados de algunas pruebas simples.

echo "foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar" | sed ''s/foo/FOUND/g''

regresa (como se esperaba)

FOUND bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 FOUND bar

pero

echo "foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar" | sed -E ''s//d{4}-/d{2}-/d{2} /d{2}:/d{2}:/d{2}/FOUND/g''

devoluciones

foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar

y (aún más irritantemente)

echo "food bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 food bar" | sed -E ''s//d/FOUND/g''

devoluciones

fooFOUND bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 fooFOUND bar

Ahora, las páginas man sed dicen que

The following options are available: -E Interpret regular expressions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic regular expressions (BRE''s). The re_format(7) manual page fully describes both formats.

y el man re_format dice

/d Matches a digit character. This is equivalent to `[[:digit:]]''.

Y de hecho:

echo "foo bar 2011-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar" | sed -E ''s/[[:digit:]]{4}/FOUND/g''

me da

foo bar FOUND-03-17 17:31:47 foo bar

... pero esto es molesto Ya sea porque estoy siendo denso, o porque las páginas del manual me están mintiendo (para ser honesto, preferiría lo primero).

Una rápida revisión de la literatura aquí en SO sugiere que no estoy solo en esto, y que muchos recomiendan instalar GNU coreutils (o de hecho usar algo más, por ejemplo perl -pe ) - sin embargo, me gustaría estar seguro:

¿Funcionan los ERE con sed ya que está incluido con OS X, como lo implican las páginas man , o no?

(Estoy en 10.8 y 10.6.8)


En OS X, /d es parte de un conjunto de características regex llamado características mejoradas : tenga en cuenta la distinción en name: enhanced , que NO es lo mismo que extended .

En cambio, las características mejoradas son una dimensión separada de básica frente a extendida que se puede activar para expresiones regulares tanto básicas como extendidas. En otras palabras: puede tener expresiones regulares básicas mejoradas , así como expresiones regulares ampliadas mejoradas .

Sin embargo, parece que si las características mejoradas están disponibles en una utilidad determinada se precompila en él ; en otras palabras: una utilidad determinada admite funciones mejoradas o no; ninguna opción puede cambiar eso . (Las opciones solo le permiten elegir entre básico y extendido, como -E para sed y grep ).

Para obtener una descripción de todas las características mejoradas , consulte la sección ENHANCED FEATURES man re_format en man re_format .

También se debe tener en cuenta que si la compatibilidad POSIX es importante, las características mejoradas se deben evitar con sed .
Hay utilidades POSIX, como awk , que admiten ERE (expresiones regulares extendidas), pero (a), la especificación POSIX explícitamente tiene que indicarlo, y (b) la sintaxis está limitada a los ERE POSIX , que son menos poderosos que las plataformas específicas de ERE ofrecen.

En la práctica:

Lamentablemente, las páginas man para las diversas utilidades NO indican si una utilidad dada admite funciones de expresiones regulares mejoradas , por lo que se reduce a prueba y error.

A partir de OS X 10.10.1 :

OS X sed NO es compatible con funciones mejoradas , lo que explica la experiencia de OP.

He encontrado solo 1 utilidad que admite funciones mejoradas : grep :

grep -o ''/d/+'' <<<''a10'' # -> ''10'' - enhanced basic regex grep -E -o ''/d+'' <<<''a10'' # -> ''10'' - enhanced extended regex

Si conoce a otros que sí lo hacen, háganmelo saber.
