pattern
)Expand description
A string pattern.
A Pattern<'a>
expresses that the implementing type
can be used as a string pattern for searching in a &'a str
.
For example, both 'a'
and "aa"
are patterns that
would match at index 1
in the string "baaaab"
.
The trait itself acts as a builder for an associated
Searcher
type, which does the actual work of finding
occurrences of the pattern in a string.
Depending on the type of the pattern, the behaviour of methods like
str::find
and str::contains
can change. The table below describes
some of those behaviours.
Pattern type | Match condition |
---|---|
&str | is substring |
char | is contained in string |
&[char] | any char in slice is contained in string |
F: FnMut(char) -> bool | F returns true for a char in string |
&&str | is substring |
&String | is substring |
§Examples
// &str
assert_eq!("abaaa".find("ba"), Some(1));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find("bac"), None);
// char
assert_eq!("abaaa".find('a'), Some(0));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find('b'), Some(1));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find('c'), None);
// &[char; N]
assert_eq!("ab".find(&['b', 'a']), Some(0));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find(&['a', 'z']), Some(0));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find(&['c', 'd']), None);
// &[char]
assert_eq!("ab".find(&['b', 'a'][..]), Some(0));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find(&['a', 'z'][..]), Some(0));
assert_eq!("abaaa".find(&['c', 'd'][..]), None);
// FnMut(char) -> bool
assert_eq!("abcdef_z".find(|ch| ch > 'd' && ch < 'y'), Some(4));
assert_eq!("abcddd_z".find(|ch| ch > 'd' && ch < 'y'), None);

Implementors§
source§impl<'a> Pattern<'a> for char
impl<'a> Pattern<'a> for char
Searches for chars that are equal to a given char
.
§Examples
assert_eq!("Hello world".find('o'), Some(4));
type Searcher = CharSearcher<'a>
source§impl<'a, 'b> Pattern<'a> for &'b str
impl<'a, 'b> Pattern<'a> for &'b str

Will handle the pattern ""
as returning empty matches at each character
boundary.
