          net.sf.saxon.java.JDK15RegexTranslator

    public class JDK15RegexTranslator

extends RegexTranslator

This class translates XML Schema regex syntax into JDK 1.5 regex syntax. This differs from the JDK 1.4 translator because JDK 1.5 handles non-BMP characters (wide characters) in places where JDK 1.4 does not, for example in a range such as [X-Y]. This enables much of the code from the 1.4 translator to be removed. Author: James Clark Modified by Michael Kay (a) to integrate the code into Saxon, and (b) to support XPath additions to the XML Schema regex syntax. This version also removes most of the complexities of handling non-BMP characters, since JDK 1.5 handles these natively.

Method Detail

### translate

    public static String translate(CharSequence regexp,
                                   boolean xpath,
                                   boolean ignoreWhitespace,
                                   boolean caseBlind)
                            throws RegexSyntaxException

  Translates a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2 into a regular expression in the syntax of `java.util.regex.Pattern`. The translation assumes that the string to be matched against the regex uses surrogate pairs correctly. If the string comes from XML content, a conforming XML parser will automatically check this; if the string comes from elsewhere, it may be necessary to check surrogate usage before matching.

  Parameters:
    `regexp` - a String containing a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2
    `xpath` - a boolean indicating whether the XPath 2.0 F+O extensions to the schema regex syntax are permitted
  Throws:
    `RegexSyntaxException` - if `regexp` is not a regular expression in the syntax of XML Schemas Part 2, or XPath 2.0, as appropriate
  See Also:
    `Pattern`, XML Schema Part 2

### main

    public static void main(String[] args)
                     throws RegexSyntaxException

  Throws:
    `RegexSyntaxException`
