replaceAll :: String -> String -> String -> String

replaceAll pattern replacement text replaces all matches of pattern in the text by replacement.

replaceFirst :: String -> String -> String -> String

replaceFirst pattern replacement text replaces the first match of pattern in the text by replacement.

substituteAll :: String -> (String -> String) -> String -> String

substituteAll pattern f text replaces all matches of pattern in the text by the string returned by f given the matched region of the string as a parameter.

substituteFirst :: String -> (String -> String) -> String -> String

substituteFirst pattern f text replaces the first match of pattern in the text by the string returned by f given the matched region of the string as a parameter.

Undocumented entities

appendReplacement :: Matcher -> StringBuffer -> String -> <Proc> Matcher

appendReplacement m buffer replacement appends to buffer the input between the previous match and the current one, followed by replacement.

appendTail :: Matcher -> StringBuffer -> <Proc> StringBuffer

Appends to the given buffer the input that follows the last match.

compile :: String -> Pattern

Compiles the given regular expression.

freezeStringBuffer :: StringBuffer -> <Proc> String

The contents of the string buffer as a string.

group :: Matcher -> <Proc> String

Returns the input subsequence matched by the previous match.

groupCount :: Matcher -> <Proc> Integer

Returns the number of capturing groups in this matcher's pattern.

groupNm :: Matcher -> String -> <Proc> Maybe String

Returns the input subsequence captured by the given named group during the previous match operation.

groupNr :: Matcher -> Integer -> <Proc> Maybe String

Returns the input subsequence captured by the given group during the previous match operation.

matchGroups :: Pattern -> String -> Maybe [Maybe String]

Get parts matched by each group in the pattern, if a match is found.

matcher :: Pattern -> String -> Matcher

matcher pattern text creates a matcher that matches pattern against text.

matcherFind :: Matcher -> <Proc> Boolean

Attempts to find the next subsequence of the input sequence that matches the pattern.

matches :: Matcher -> <Proc> Boolean

Attempts to match the entire region against the pattern.

newStringBuffer :: () -> StringBuffer

Creates a new empty string buffer.

quoteReplacement :: String -> String

Escapes the given string so that it can be used as a literal replacement.

replaceAll_ :: Matcher -> String -> String

Replaces every match of the matcher by the given replacement string.

replaceFirst_ :: Matcher -> String -> String

Replaces the first match of the matcher by the given replacement string.

substring :: String -> Integer -> String

substring string beginIndex Returns a string that is a substring of given string. The substring begins with the character at the specified index and extends to the end of the string.

substringl :: String -> Integer -> Integer -> String

substringl string beginIndex endIndex Returns a string that is a substring of given string. The substring begins at the specified beginIndex and extends to the character at index endIndex - 1. Thus the length of the substring is endIndex-beginIndex.
