尝试在Windows上转义正则表达式字符时出现U_REGEX_INVALID_CAPTURE_GROUP_NAME错误

标签: r regex escaping

我最近实现了一个函数来转义可解释为正则表达式的字符,这些正则表达式用于我的R包的系统调用' rNOMADS'

SanitizeWGrib2Inputs <- function(check.strs) {
    #Escape regex characters before inputting to wgrib2
    #INPUTS
    #    CHECK.STRS - Strings possibly containing regex metacharacters
    #OUTPUTS
    #    CHECKED.STRS - Strings with metacharacters appropriately escaped

    meta.chars <- paste0("\\", c("(", ")", ".", "+", "*", "^", "$", "?", "[", "]", "|"))

   for(k in 1:length(meta.chars)) {
       check.strs <- stringr::str_replace(check.strs, meta.chars[k], paste0("\\\\", meta.chars[k]))
   }

   checked.strs <- check.strs

   return(checked.strs)
}

我在我的包文档中包含了一个示例:

check.strs <- c("frank", "je.rry", "har\\old", "Johnny Ca$h")
checked.strs <- SanitizeWGrib2Inputs(check.strs) 

这在我的ubuntu机器上正常工作并通过了CRAN检查。但是,当我将软件包上传到CRAN时,他们的Windows检查器说:

> check.strs <- c("frank", "je.rry", "har\\old", "Johnny Ca$h")
> checked.strs <- SanitizeWGrib2Inputs(check.strs) Error in stri_replace_first_regex(string, pattern, fix_replacement(replacement),  :    Invalid capture group name. (U_REGEX_INVALID_CAPTURE_GROUP_NAME) Calls: SanitizeWGrib2Inputs -> <Anonymous> -> stri_replace_first_regex -> .Call Execution halted

我在Windows分区上验证了此行为。为此做了什么工作?

答案 0 :(得分:2)

使用简单的str_replace_all来转义所有特殊的正则表达式元字符:

SanitizeWGrib2Inputs <- function(check.strs) {
    return(str_replace_all(check.strs, "[{\\[()|?$^*+.\\\\]", "\\$0"))
}
check.strs <- c("frank", "je.rry", "har\\old", "Johnny Ca$h")
checked.strs <- SanitizeWGrib2Inputs(check.strs) 
checked.strs
## => [1] "frank"         "je\\.rry"      "har\\\\old"    "Johnny Ca\\$h"

备注

  • "[{\\[\\]()|?$^*+.\\\\](实际上,"[{\[\]()|?$^*+.\\])将匹配任何单个字符,{[](,{ {1}},)|?$^*+或{{1 }}
  • .替换会将每个字符更改为\ +相同的字符("\\$0"是对整个匹配值的反向引用)。
  • 我认为您不需要在此处添加\,因为如果前面没有配对的开放$0,则在字符类之外它不是特殊字符。
