-# Patterns and flags
+# 樣式(Patterns)與 旗標(flags)
-Regular expressions are patterns that provide a powerful way to search and replace in text.
+正規表達式(Regular expressions)是提供一種有力的方式在文字上去搜尋與取代的模式。
-In JavaScript, they are available via the [RegExp](mdn:js/RegExp) object, as well as being integrated in methods of strings.
+在 JavaScript,它們可以藉由 [RegExp](mdn:js/RegExp) 物件使用,也整合進了字串的方法中。
-## Regular Expressions
+## 正規表達式
-A regular expression (also "regexp", or just "reg") consists of a *pattern* and optional *flags*.
+一個正規表達式(又稱 "regexp",或只寫做 "reg")由一個 **樣式** 與可選用的 **旗標** 組成。
-There are two syntaxes that can be used to create a regular expression object.
+這裡有兩種語法可以用來建立一個正規表達式物件。
-The "long" syntax:
+較長的語法:
```js
regexp = new RegExp("pattern", "flags");
```
-And the "short" one, using slashes `"/"`:
+和較短的,使用斜線 `"/"`:
```js
-regexp = /pattern/; // no flags
-regexp = /pattern/gmi; // with flags g,m and i (to be covered soon)
+regexp = /pattern/; // 沒有旗標
+regexp = /pattern/gmi; // 搭配旗標 g、m 和 i (等一下會講到)
```
-Slashes `pattern:/.../` tell JavaScript that we are creating a regular expression. They play the same role as quotes for strings.
+斜線 `pattern:/.../` 會告訴 JavaScript 我們要建立一個正規表達式。它們扮演著跟字串引號相同的角色。
-In both cases `regexp` becomes an instance of the built-in `RegExp` class.
+兩種請況下的 `regexp` 都會變成內建 `RegExp` 類別的實體。
-The main difference between these two syntaxes is that pattern using slashes `/.../` does not allow for expressions to be inserted (like string template literals with `${...}`). They are fully static.
+兩種語法主要不同之處在於一種使用斜線 `/.../`,不允許插入表達式(像是字串樣板字面值 `${...}`)。他們是完全靜態的。
-Slashes are used when we know the regular expression at the code writing time -- and that's the most common situation. While `new RegExp`, is more often used when we need to create a regexp "on the fly" from a dynamically generated string. For instance:
+斜線用在當我們撰寫程式碼時,所知道的正規表達式 -- 這是最常見的情況。而 `new RegExp`,經常用在我們需要用動態產生的字串建立一個 "即時" 的正規表達式。例如:
```js
let tag = prompt("What tag do you want to find?", "h2");
-let regexp = new RegExp(`<${tag}>`); // same as /
/ if answered "h2" in the prompt above
+let regexp = new RegExp(`<${tag}>`); // 如果在提示窗中回答 "h2",則等同 //
```
-## Flags
+## 旗標
-Regular expressions may have flags that affect the search.
+正規表達式可能會有影響搜尋結果的旗標。
-There are only 6 of them in JavaScript:
+在 JavaScript 中只有6種:
-`pattern:i`
-: With this flag the search is case-insensitive: no difference between `A` and `a` (see the example below).
+`pattern:i`:使用這個旗標會使搜尋不區分大小寫:`A` 與 `a` 不分(參見下面的範例)
-`pattern:g`
-: With this flag the search looks for all matches, without it -- only the first match is returned.
+`pattern:g`:使用這個旗標會使搜尋查找所有匹配結果, 沒有這個的話 -- 只有第一個匹配結果會傳回。
-`pattern:m`
-: Multiline mode (covered in the chapter ).
+`pattern:m`:多行模式 (在此章節 介紹)。
-`pattern:s`
-: Enables "dotall" mode, that allows a dot `pattern:.` to match newline character `\n` (covered in the chapter ).
+`pattern:s`:啟用 "dotAll" 模式, 允許句點符號 `pattern:.` 去匹配換行字元 `\n`(在此章節 介紹)。
-`pattern:u`
-: Enables full unicode support. The flag enables correct processing of surrogate pairs. More about that in the chapter .
+`pattern:u`:啟用完整 unicode 支援。該旗標啟用了正確的代理對(surrogate pairs)處理。關於更多資訊會列在此章節 。
-`pattern:y`
-: "Sticky" mode: searching at the exact position in the text (covered in the chapter )
+`pattern:y`:"Sticky" 模式:搜尋在文本中的確切位置(在此章節 介紹)
-```smart header="Colors"
-From here on the color scheme is:
+```smart header="顏色"
+這裡的配色方式是:
-- regexp -- `pattern:red`
-- string (where we search) -- `subject:blue`
-- result -- `match:green`
+- 正規表達式 -- `pattern:紅色`
+- 字串(我們搜尋的) -- `subject:藍色`
+- 匹配結果 -- `match:綠色`
```
-## Searching: str.match
+## 搜尋: str.match
-As mentioned previously, regular expressions are integrated with string methods.
+前面有提到,正規表達式有整合在字串的方法。
-The method `str.match(regexp)` finds all matches of `regexp` in the string `str`.
+`str.match(regexp)` 方法用 `regexp` 正規表達式尋找在整個 `str` 字串中的所有匹配結果。
-It has 3 working modes:
+它有 3 種運作模式:
-1. If the regular expression has flag `pattern:g`, it returns an array of all matches:
+1. 如果正規表達式有旗標 `pattern:g`,此傳回一個全部匹配結果的陣列:
```js run
let str = "We will, we will rock you";
- alert( str.match(/we/gi) ); // We,we (an array of 2 substrings that match)
+ alert( str.match(/we/gi) ); // We,we (一個陣列內含 2 個匹配結果的部份字串)
```
- Please note that both `match:We` and `match:we` are found, because flag `pattern:i` makes the regular expression case-insensitive.
+ 請注意 `match:We` 和 `match:we` 皆被找到,是因為旗標 `pattern:i` 使正規表達式不分大小寫。
-2. If there's no such flag it returns only the first match in the form of an array, with the full match at index `0` and some additional details in properties:
+2. 如果沒有旗標 `pattern:g` 傳回形式會是只有第一個匹配結果的陣列,該陣列中包含一些額外資訊在屬性中,完全匹配結果在索引 `0`:
```js run
let str = "We will, we will rock you";
- let result = str.match(/we/i); // without flag g
+ let result = str.match(/we/i); // 不使用旗標 g
- alert( result[0] ); // We (1st match)
+ alert( result[0] ); // We (1st 匹配結果)
alert( result.length ); // 1
- // Details:
- alert( result.index ); // 0 (position of the match)
- alert( result.input ); // We will, we will rock you (source string)
+ // 額外資訊:
+ alert( result.index ); // 0 (匹配位置)
+ alert( result.input ); // We will, we will rock you (來源字串)
```
- The array may have other indexes, besides `0` if a part of the regular expression is enclosed in parentheses. We'll cover that in the chapter .
+ 如果正規表達式的一部分在括號中,則陣列除了 `0` 外還會有其他索引。我們將在此章節介紹 。
-3. And, finally, if there are no matches, `null` is returned (doesn't matter if there's flag `pattern:g` or not).
-
- This a very important nuance. If there are no matches, we don't receive an empty array, but instead receive `null`. Forgetting about that may lead to errors, e.g.:
+3. 最後,如果沒有匹配結果,會傳回 `null`(與有無 `pattern:g` 旗標無關)。
+ 這是很重要的細節。如果沒有匹配結果,我們不會收到一個空陣列,而是收到 `null`。忘記這件事情會導致錯誤,例如:
```js run
let matches = "JavaScript".match(/HTML/); // = null

- If we'd like the result to always be an array, we can write it this way:

-## Replacing: str.replace
+## 取代: str.replace
-The method `str.replace(regexp, replacement)` replaces matches found using `regexp` in string `str` with `replacement` (all matches if there's flag `pattern:g`, otherwise, only the first one).
+`str.replace(regexp, replacement)` 方法用 `regexp` 找到了匹配結果,並在 `str` 字串使用 `replacement` 字串取代。(如果是 `pattern:g` 旗標的話,會是全部匹配結果,反之只會是第一個)。
-For instance:
+例如:
```js run
-// no flag g
+// 沒有 g 旗標
alert( "We will, we will".replace(/we/i, "I") ); // I will, we will
-// with flag g
+// 有 g 旗標
alert( "We will, we will".replace(/we/ig, "I") ); // I will, I will
```
-The second argument is the `replacement` string. We can use special character combinations in it to insert fragments of the match:
+第二個參數是 `replacement` 字串。我們可以在其中使用特殊字元组来插入匹配結果片段:
-| Symbols | Action in the replacement string |
+| 符號 | 取代字串的操作 |
|--------|--------|
-|`$&`|inserts the whole match|
-|$`
|inserts a part of the string before the match|
-|`$'`|inserts a part of the string after the match|
-|`$n`|if `n` is a 1-2 digit number, then it inserts the contents of n-th parentheses, more about it in the chapter |
-|`$`|inserts the contents of the parentheses with the given `name`, more about it in the chapter |
-|`$$`|inserts character `$` |
+|`$&`|插入整個匹配結果|
+|$`
|插入匹配結果前面的字串|
+|`$'`|插入匹配結果後面的字串|
+|`$n`|如果 `n` 是一個 1 到 2 位元的數字,那會插入第 n 個括號中的內容,關於更多在此章節 |

-## Summary
+## 總結
-- A regular expression consists of a pattern and optional flags: `pattern:g`, `pattern:i`, `pattern:m`, `pattern:u`, `pattern:s`, `pattern:y`.
-- Without flags and special symbols (that we'll study later), the search by a regexp is the same as a substring search.
-- The method `str.match(regexp)` looks for matches: all of them if there's `pattern:g` flag, otherwise, only the first one.
-- The method `str.replace(regexp, replacement)` replaces matches found using `regexp` with `replacement`: all of them if there's `pattern:g` flag, otherwise only the first one.
-- The method `regexp.test(str)` returns `true` if there's at least one match, otherwise, it returns `false`.
