Ruby解析字符串

要解析的字符串类型的示例语法(另存为sentences.treetop)：

grammar Sentences
  rule sentence
    # A sentence is a combination of one or more expressions.
    expression* <Sentence>
  end

  rule expression
    # An expression is either a literal or a parenthesised expression.
    parenthesised / literal
  end

  rule parenthesised
    # A parenthesised expression contains one or more sentences.
    "(" (multiple / sentence) ")" <Parenthesised>
  end

  rule multiple
    # Multiple sentences are delimited by a pipe.
    sentence "|" (multiple / sentence) <Multiple>
  end

  rule literal
    # A literal string contains of word characters (a-z) and/or spaces.
    # Expand the character class to allow other characters too.
    [a-zA-Z ]+ <Literal>
  end
end

上面的语法需要一个附带的文件来定义允许我们访问节点值的类(另存为sentence_nodes.rb).

class Sentence < Treetop::Runtime::SyntaxNode
  def combine(a,b)
    return b if a.empty?
    a.inject([]) do |values,val_a|
      values + b.collect { |val_b| val_a + val_b }
    end
  end

  def values
    elements.inject([]) do |values,element|
      combine(values,element.values)
    end
  end
end

class Parenthesised < Treetop::Runtime::SyntaxNode
  def values
    elements[1].values
  end
end

class Multiple < Treetop::Runtime::SyntaxNode
  def values
    elements[0].values + elements[2].values
  end
end

class Literal < Treetop::Runtime::SyntaxNode
  def values
    [text_value]
  end
end

以下示例程序显示解析您给出的示例句子非常简单.

require "rubygems"
require "treetop"
require "sentence_nodes"

str = 'maybe (this is|that was) some' +
  ' ((nice|ugly) (day|night)|(strange (weather|time)))'

Treetop.load "sentences"
if sentence = SentencesParser.new.parse(str)
  puts sentence.values
else
  puts "Parse error"
end

该程序的输出是：

maybe this is some nice day
maybe this is some nice night
maybe this is some ugly day
maybe this is some ugly night
maybe this is some strange weather
maybe this is some strange time
maybe that was some nice day
maybe that was some nice night
maybe that was some ugly day
maybe that was some ugly night
maybe that was some strange weather
maybe that was some strange time

您还可以访问语法树：

p sentence

你有它：一个可扩展的解析解决方案,应该与你想要在大约50行代码中做的非常接近.这有帮助吗？
