-
- (defun regi-interpret (frame &optional start end)
- "Interpret the regi frame FRAME.
- If optional START and END are supplied, they indicate the region of
- interest, and the buffer is narrowed to the beginning of the line
- containing START, and beginning of the line after the line containing
- END. Otherwise, point and mark are not set and processing continues
- until your FUNC returns the `abort' symbol (see below). Beware! Not
- supplying a START or END could put you in an infinite loop.
-
- A regi frame is a list of entries of the form:
-
- (PRED FUNC [NEGATE-P [CASE-FOLD-SEARCH]])
-
- PRED is a predicate against which each line in the region is tested,
- and if a match occurs, FUNC is `eval'd. Point is then moved to the
- beginning of the next line, the frame is reset and checking continues.
- If a match doesn't occur, the next entry is checked against the
- current line until all entries in the frame are checked. At this
- point, if no match occurred, the frame is reset and point is moved to
- the next line. Checking continues until every line in the region is
- checked. Optional NEGATE-P inverts the result of PRED before FUNC is
- called and `case-fold-search' is bound to the optional value of
- CASE-FOLD-SEARCH for the PRED check.
-
- PRED can be a string, variable, function or one of the following
- symbols: t, nil, `begin', `end', and `every'. If PRED is a string, or
- a variable or list that evaluates to a string, it is interpreted as a
- regular expression and is matched against the current line (from the
- beginning) using `looking-at'. If PRED does not evaluate to a string,
- it is interpreted as a binary value (nil or non-nil).
-
- PRED can also be one of the following symbols:
-
- t -- always produces a true outcome
- `begin' -- always executes before anything else
- `end' -- always executes after everything else
- `every' -- execute after frame is matched on a line
-
- Note that NEGATE-P and CASE-FOLD-SEARCH are meaningless if PRED is one
- of these special symbols. Only the first occurrence of each symbol in
- a frame entry is used, the rest are ignored.
-
- Your FUNC can return values which control regi processing. If a list
- is returned from your function, it can contain any combination of the
- following elements:
-
- the symbol `continue'
- Tells regi to continue processing frame-entries after a match,
- instead of resetting to the first entry and advancing to the next
- line, as is the default behavior. When returning this symbol,
- you must take care not to enter an infinite loop.
-
- the symbol `abort'
- Tells regi to terminate processing this frame. any end
- frame-entry is still processed.
-
- the list `(frame . NEWFRAME)'
- Tells regi to use NEWFRAME as its current frame. In other words,
- your FUNC can modify the executing regi frame on the fly.
-
- the list `(step . STEP)'
- Tells regi to move STEP number of lines forward during normal
- processing. By default, regi moves forward 1 line. STEP can be
- negative, but be careful of infinite loops.
-
- You should usually take care to explicitly return nil from your
- function if no action is to take place. Your FUNC will always be
- `eval'ed. The following variables will be temporarily bound to some
- useful information:
-
- `curline'
- the current line in the buffer, as a string
-
- `curframe'
- the full, current frame being executed
-
- `curentry'
- the current frame entry being executed."
