在iOS中使用正则表达式拆分字符串

我已经使用循环解决了这个问题,但是想要一个更清晰的答案,我希望一个reg exe大师可以帮助我。

我的原始字符串可能类似于以下

NSString *originalString = @"343 a mr smith needs this work";

NSString *originalStringVerTwo = @"345a mr jones needs this work as well";

NSString *originalStringVerThree = @"345 Mrs Someone";

我需要分成3个单独的新字符串:

  • 带有或带有尾随“a”或“b”的数字,删除if exists之间的空格
  • 人名,可能是资本与否,即史密斯先生或琼斯夫人等
  • 此后,零个或多个单词将出现在最终字符串

例如

  • 123a先生,这里有些话
  • 124 b mrs jones n / p
  • 654 Foo先生
  • 123 Jones n / p
  • 345 n / p

应该导致以下

第1行

NSString *one = 123a
NSString *two = mr who
NSString *three = here are some words

第2行

NSString *one = 124b // i want the white space removed between number and digit
NSString *two = mrs jones
NSString *three = n/p

第3行

NSString *one = 654
NSString *two = Mr Foo
NSString *three = @""

第4行

NSString *one = 123
NSString *two = Jones
NSString *three = n/p

第5行

NSString *one = 345
NSString *two = n/p
NSString *three = @""

常量将是

  1. 3位数字,带或不带“a”“b”(123,123a,123b)
  2. 一个人的姓名,无论有没有称呼(琼斯先生,琼斯先生)
  3. 人名可能是未知的 - 因此是“n / p”的确切文本
  4. 以下名称是一个n长度的字符串,以\ n结尾(这是一组单词\ n)。
  5. 将123 a中的空白区域移除到123a是理想的但不是主要要求

这是一个应该有效的正则表达式:

       ^             //start of line
       (             //first capture group
            [\d]+    //one or more digits
       )             //end of first capture group 

       (?:           //start of optional non-capturing group
              \s?    //optional whitespace
            (        //second capture group
              [ab]   //character class - a or b
            )        //end of second capture group 
       )?            //end of optional non-capturing group 

       \s            //whitespace

       (             //third capture group
            (?:      //non-capturing group
      Mr|Mrs|Mister  //title alternation
            )         
            \s       //whitespace
            [\w/]+   //1 or more word characters or "/"
       |             //alternation 
            [\w/]+   //1 or more word characters or "/"
       )             //end of third capture group 

       (?:           //start of optional non-capturing group  
            \s       //whitespace
            (        //fourth capture group
            .*       //0 or more of any character
            )        //end of fourth capture group
        )?           //end of optional non-capturing group
       $             //end of line

构建你的正则表达式。我们必须逃避转义以将它们保留在NSString中:

NSString* regexString =
@"^([\\d]+(?:\\s?[ab])?)\\s((?:Mr|Ms|Mrs|Mister)\\s[\\w/]+|[\\w/]+)(?:\\s(.*))?$";

NSRegularExpression *regex =
[NSRegularExpression regularExpressionWithPattern:regexString
                     options:NSRegularExpressionCaseInsensitive
                     error:nil];

制作一个测试阵列:

NSArray* testArray = @[
                        @"123a mr who here are some words"
                       ,@"124 b mrs jones n/p"
                       ,@"654 Mr Foo"
                       ,@"123 Jones n/p"
                       ,@"345 n/p"
                       ,@"345"
                       ,@"nothing here"
                       ];

处理测试数组:

for (NSString* string in testArray) {
    NSLog(@" ");
    NSLog(@"input: '%@'",string);

    NSRange range = NSMakeRange(0,string.length);
    if ([regex numberOfMatchesInString:string options:0 range:range] == 1) {
        NSString* body = [regex stringByReplacingMatchesInString:string
                                           options:0
                                             range:range
                                      withTemplate:@"$1\n$2\n$3"];


        NSArray* result = [body componentsSeparatedByString:@"\n"];
        NSString* one = result[0];
        NSString* two = result[1];
        NSString* three = result[2];
        NSLog(@"one:   '%@'",one);
        NSLog(@"two:   '%@'",two);
        NSLog(@"three: '%@'",three);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"no match");
    }
}

输出:

    input: '123a mr who here are some words'
    one:   '123a'
    two:   'mr who'
    three: 'here are some words'

    input: '124 b mrs jones n/p'
    one:   '124b'
    two:   'mrs jones'
    three: 'n/p'

    input: '654 Mr Foo'
    one:   '654'
    two:   'Mr Foo'
    three: ''

    input: '123 Jones n/p'
    one:   '123'
    two:   'Jones'
    three: 'n/p'

    input: '345 n/p'
    one:   '345'
    two:   'n/p'
    three: ''

    input: '345'
    no match

    input: 'nothing here'
    no match
