Your question's answer:

You can treat characters in a Raku regex literally by surrounding them with quotes (e.g., '.*?') or by using using regular variable interpolation (e.g., $substring inside the regex where $substring is a string contaning metacharacters).

Thus, to translate the Perl program with \Q...\E from your question into Raku, you could write:

Lookaround regex and character consumption

Asked 2021-Dec-20 at 12:26

Based on the documentation for Raku's lookaround assertions, I read the regex / / as saying "starting from the left, match but do not not consume one character that is a, b, or c and, once you have found a match, match and consume one alphabetic character."

Thus, this output makes sense:

and does not seem to support some backslashed character classes. \n, \s, \d and \w show similar results.

\t, \h, \v, \c[NAME] and \x61 seem to work as normal.

QUESTION

Parsing binary files in Raku

Asked 2021-Nov-09 at 11:34

I would like to parse binary files in Raku using its regex / grammar engine, but I didn't found how to do it because the input is coerce to string.

Is there a way to avoid this string coercion and use objects of type Buf or Blob ?

I was thinking maybe it is possible to change something in the Metamodel ?

I know that I can use unpack but I would really like to use the grammar engine insted to have more flexibility and readability.

Am I hitting an inherent limit to Raku capabilities here ?

And before someone tells me that regexes are for string and that I shouldn't do it, it should point out that perl's regex engine can match bytes as far as I know, and I could probably use it with Regexp::Grammars, but I prefer not to and use Raku instead.

Also, I don't see any fundamental reason why regex should be reserved only to string, a NFA of automata theory isn't intriscally made for characters instead of bytes.

Unfortunately not at present. However, one can use the Latin-1 encoding, which gives a meaning to every byte, so any byte sequence will decode to it, and could then be matched using a grammar.

Also, I don't see any fundamental reason why regex should be reserved only to string, a NFA of automata theory isn't intriscally made for characters instead of bytes.

There isn't one; it's widely expected that the regex/grammar engine will be rebuilt at some point in the future (primarily to deal with performance limitations), and that would be a good point to also consider handling bytes and also codepoint level strings (Uni).

Install regex

You can download it from GitHub.
You can use regex like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
