The ICU API for processing regular expressions consists of two classes,
* RegexPattern
and RegexMatcher
.
* RegexPattern
objects represent a pre-processed, or compiled
* regular expression. They are created from a regular expression pattern string,
* and can be used to create RegexMatcher
objects for the pattern.
Class RegexMatcher
bundles together a regular expression
* pattern and a target string to which the search pattern will be applied.
* RegexMatcher
includes API for doing plain find or search
* operations, for search and replace operations, and for obtaining detailed
* information about bounds of a match.
Note that by constructing RegexMatcher
objects directly from regular
* expression pattern strings application code can be simplified and the explicit
* need for RegexPattern
objects can usually be eliminated.
*
RegexPattern
represents a compiled regular expression. It includes
* factory methods for creating a RegexPattern object from the source (string) form
* of a regular expression, methods for creating RegexMatchers that allow the pattern
* to be applied to input text, and a few convenience methods for simple common
* uses of regular expressions.
*
* Class RegexPattern is not intended to be subclassed.
