NAME

6       Regexp::Common::delimited -- provides a regex for delimited strings
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Regexp::Common qw /delimited/;
10
11           while (<>) {
12               /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}/  and print 'a \" delimited string';
13               /$RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}/  and print 'a \/ delimited string';
14           }
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description
18       of the works of this interface.
19
20       Do not use this module directly, but load it via Regexp::Common.
21
22   $RE{delimited}{-delim}{-esc}
23       Returns a pattern that matches a single-character-delimited substring,
24       with optional internal escaping of the delimiter.
25
26       When "-delim=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is a
27       possible delimiter. There is no default delimiter, so this flag must
28       always be specified.
29
30       If "-esc=S" is specified, each character in the sequence S is the
31       delimiter for the corresponding character in the "-delim=S" list.  The
32       default escape is backslash.
33
34       For example:
35
36          $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}            # match "a \" delimited string"
37          $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'"'}{-esc=>'"'} # match "a "" delimited string"
38          $RE{delimited}{-delim=>'/'}            # match /a \/ delimited string/
39          $RE{delimited}{-delim=>q{'"}}          # match "string" or 'string'
40
41       Under "-keep" (See Regexp::Common):
42
43       $1  captures the entire match
44
45       $2  captures the opening delimiter (provided only one delimiter was
46           specified)
47
48       $3  captures delimited portion of the string (provided only one
49           delimiter was specified)
50
51       $4  captures the closing delimiter (provided only one delimiter was
52           specified)
53
54   $RE{quoted}{-esc}
55       A synonym for $RE{delimited}{q{-delim='"`}{...}}
