module Puppet::Pops::Patterns

The Patterns module contains common regular expression patters for the Puppet DSL language

Constants

CLASSREF

CLASSREF matches a class reference the way it is represented internally in the model (i.e. in lower case).

CLASSREF_DECL

Same as CLASSREF but cannot start with '::'

CLASSREF_EXT

CLASSREF_EXT matches a class reference the same way as the lexer - i.e. the external source form where each part must start with a capital letter A-Z.

CLASSREF_EXT_DECL

Same as CLASSREF_EXT but cannot start with '::'

DOLLAR_VAR

DOLLAR_VAR matches a variable name including the initial $ character

ILLEGAL_HOSTNAME_CHARS

ILLEGAL_P3_1_HOSTNAME matches if a hostname contains illegal characters. This check does not prevent pathological names like 'a.…b', '.….', “—”. etc.

NAME

NAME matches a name the same way as the lexer.

NUMERIC

NUMERIC matches hex, octal, decimal, and floating point and captures several parts 0 = entire matched number, leading and trailing whitespace and sign included 1 = sign, +, - or nothing 2 = entire numeric part 3 = hexadecimal number 4 = non hex integer portion, possibly with leading 0 (octal) 5 = floating point part, starts with “.”, decimals and optional exponent

Thus, a hex number has group 3 value, an octal value has group 4 (if it starts with 0), and no group 3 and a floating point value has group 4 and group 5.

NUMERIC_VAR_NAME

A Numeric var name must be the decimal number 0, or a decimal number not starting with 0

PARAM_NAME

PARAM_NAME matches the name part of a parameter (The $ character is not included)

VAR_NAME

VAR_NAME matches the name part of a variable (The $ character is not included) Note, that only the final segment may start with an underscore. Note, regexp sensitive to backtracking

WS_BETWEEN_SIGN_AND_NUMBER

Special expression that tests if there is whitespace between sign and number. The expression is used to strip such whitespace when normal Float or Integer conversion fails.
