Expand description
Replacer describes types that can be used to replace matches in a string.
In general, users of this crate shouldn’t need to implement this trait,
since implementations are already provided for &str
along with other
variants of string types and FnMut(&Captures) -> String
(or any
FnMut(&Captures) -> T
where T: AsRef<str>
), which covers most use cases.
Required Methods§
sourcefn replace_append(&mut self, caps: &Captures<'_>, dst: &mut String)
fn replace_append(&mut self, caps: &Captures<'_>, dst: &mut String)
Appends text to dst
to replace the current match.
The current match is represented by caps
, which is guaranteed to
have a match at capture group 0
.
For example, a no-op replacement would be
dst.push_str(caps.get(0).unwrap().as_str())
.
Provided Methods§
sourcefn no_expansion<'r>(&'r mut self) -> Option<Cow<'r, str>>
fn no_expansion<'r>(&'r mut self) -> Option<Cow<'r, str>>
Return a fixed unchanging replacement string.
When doing replacements, if access to Captures
is not needed (e.g.,
the replacement byte string does not need $
expansion), then it can
be beneficial to avoid finding sub-captures.
In general, this is called once for every call to replacen
.
sourcefn by_ref<'r>(&'r mut self) -> ReplacerRef<'r, Self>
fn by_ref<'r>(&'r mut self) -> ReplacerRef<'r, Self>
Return a Replacer
that borrows and wraps this Replacer
.
This is useful when you want to take a generic Replacer
(which might
not be cloneable) and use it without consuming it, so it can be used
more than once.
Example
use regex::{Regex, Replacer};
fn replace_all_twice<R: Replacer>(
re: Regex,
src: &str,
mut rep: R,
) -> String {
let dst = re.replace_all(src, rep.by_ref());
let dst = re.replace_all(&dst, rep.by_ref());
dst.into_owned()
}
