This library provides a simple regular expression parser, working entirely in mcfunction.

Current Features and Metacharacters

Character Example Description
[] [abc] Character set

^ ^abc Beginning of string

If you need help creating your regex pattern, we recommend using RegExr.

Not all features from RegExr are supported in our library, see table above.

Getting Started

This library uses a simple api. The string to match is given in target, and the regex to match with is set in pattern. These are set in the storage, regex:api/match

To run the match, run function regex:api/match.

Example

data modify storage regex:api/match target set value "Hello, World!"
data modify storage regex:api/match pattern set value "[A-Za-z]+"
function regex:api/match
{
  success: 1b,
  output: ["H","e","l","l","o"]
}
