RegexSolver Python API Client

Homepage | Documentation | Developer Console

This repository contains the source code of the Python library for RegexSolver API.

RegexSolver is a powerful regular expression manipulation toolkit, that gives you the power to manipulate regex as if they were sets.

Installation

pip install --upgrade regexsolver

Requirements

• Python >=3.7

Usage

In order to use the library you need to generate an API Token on our Developer Console.

from regexsolver import RegexSolver, Term

RegexSolver.initialize("YOUR TOKEN HERE")

term1 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de|fg){2,}")
term2 = Term.regex(r"de.*")
term3 = Term.regex(r".*abc")

term4 = Term.regex(r".+(abc|de).+")

result = term1.intersection(term2, term3)\
              .subtraction(term4)

print(result)

Features

• Intersection
• Union
• Subtraction / Difference
• Equivalence
• Subset
• Details
• Generate Strings

Intersection

Request

Compute the intersection of the provided terms and return the resulting term.

The maximum number of terms is currently limited to 10.

term1 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de){2}")
term2 = Term.regex(r"de.*")
term3 = Term.regex(r".*abc")

result = term1.intersection(term2, term3)
print(result)

Response

regex=deabc

Union

Compute the union of the provided terms and return the resulting term.

The maximum number of terms is currently limited to 10.

Request

term1 = Term.regex(r"abc")
term2 = Term.regex(r"de")
term3 = Term.regex(r"fghi")

result = term1.union(term2, term3)
print(result)

Response

regex=(abc|de|fghi)

Subtraction / Difference

Compute the first term minus the second and return the resulting term.

Request

term1 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de)")
term2 = Term.regex(r"de")

result = term1.subtraction(term2)
print(result)

Response

regex=abc

Equivalence

Analyze if the two provided terms are equivalent.

Request

term1 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de)")
term2 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de)*")

result = term1.is_equivalent_to(term2)
print(result)

Response

False

Subset

Analyze if the second term is a subset of the first.

Request

term1 = Term.regex(r"de")
term2 = Term.regex(r"(abc|de)")

result = term1.is_subset_of(term2)
print(result)

Response

True

Details

Compute the details of the provided term.

The computed details are:

• Cardinality: the number of possible values.
• Length: the minimum and maximum length of possible values.
• Empty: true if is an empty set (does not contain any value), false otherwise.
• Total: true if is a total set (contains all values), false otherwise.

Request

term = Term.regex(r"(abc|de)")

details = term.get_details()
print(details)

Response

Details[cardinality=Integer(2), length=Length[minimum=2, maximum=3], empty=false, total=false]

Generate Strings

Generate the given number of strings that can be matched by the provided term.

The maximum number of strings to generate is currently limited to 200.

Request

term = Term.regex(r"(abc|de){2}")

strings = term.generate_strings(3)
print(strings)

Response

['deabc', 'abcde', 'dede']
