Returns {
    parseToRegexOrLiteralSearch: ((val: string, options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => RegExp);
    testMaybeRegex: ((test: string, subject: string, options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => [boolean, string]);
    searchAndReplace: ((val: string, ops: SearchAndReplaceRegExp[], options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => string);
}

• parseToRegexOrLiteralSearch: ((val: string, options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => RegExp)

  • • (val, options?): RegExp

    • Tries to parse a string as a regular expression. If this fails it tries to convert the string into a Regular Expression with a literal search for the string value.

      Parameters

      • val: string

        The string to parse
      • Optionaloptions: string | LiteralSearchOptions = {}

        Options related to how to parse the string value for the literal search

      Returns RegExp

• testMaybeRegex: ((test: string, subject: string, options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => [boolean, string])

  • • (test, subject, options?): [boolean, string]

    • Tries to parse a string as a regular expression, falling back to literal search, and then tests a given value

      Returns a tuple of [matchedExpressionBool,matchedValString]

      Parameters

      • test: string

        The string to use a regular expression
      • subject: string

        The string to test with the regular expression
      • Optionaloptions: string | LiteralSearchOptions = {}

        Options related to how to parse the string value for the literal search

      Returns [boolean, string]

• searchAndReplace: ((val: string, ops: SearchAndReplaceRegExp[], options??: string | LiteralSearchOptions) => string)

  • • (val, ops, options?): string

    • Perform one or more search-and-replace operations on a string where the 'search' value may be a regular expression, a string to parse as a regular expression, or a string to use as a literal search expression

      Parameters

      • val: string

        The string to perform search-and-replace operations on
      • ops: SearchAndReplaceRegExp[]

        An array of search-and-replace criteria
      • Optionaloptions: string | LiteralSearchOptions = {}

        Options related to how to parse the string value for the literal search

      Returns string
