This ensures that language eccentricity can be * handled, e.g. for the German collator, characters ß and SS will be matched * if case is chosen to be ignored. * See the <a href="http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/collation/ICU_collation_design.htm"> * "ICU Collation Design Document"</a> for more information. * <p> * The algorithm implemented is a modified form of the Boyer Moore's search. * For more information see * <a href="http://icu-project.org/docs/papers/efficient_text_searching_in_java.html"> * "Efficient Text Searching in Java"</a>, published in <i>Java Report</i> * in February, 1999, for further information on the algorithm. * <p> * There are 2 match options for selection:<br> * Let S' be the sub-string of a text string S between the offsets start and * end <start, end>. * <br> * A pattern string P matches a text string S at the offsets <start, end> * if * <pre> * option 1. Some canonical equivalent of P matches some canonical equivalent * of S' * option 2. P matches S' and if P starts or ends with a combining mark, * there exists no non-ignorable combining mark before or after S' * in S respectively. * </pre> * Option 2. will be the default. * <p> * This search has APIs similar to that of other text iteration mechanisms * such as the break iterators in <tt>ubrk.h</tt>. Using these * APIs, it is easy to scan through text looking for all occurances of * a given pattern. This search iterator allows changing of direction by * calling a <tt>reset</tt> followed by a <tt>next</tt> or <tt>previous</tt>. * Though a direction change can occur without calling <tt>reset</tt> first, * this operation comes with some speed penalty. * Generally, match results in the forward direction will match the result * matches in the backwards direction in the reverse order * <p> * <tt>usearch.h</tt> provides APIs to specify the starting position * within the text string to be searched, e.g. <tt>usearch_setOffset</tt>, * <tt>usearch_preceding</tt> and <tt>usearch_following</tt>. Since the * starting position will be set as it is specified, please take note that * there are some dangerous positions which the search may render incorrect * results: * <ul> * <li> The midst of a substring that requires normalization. * <li> If the following match is to be found, the position should not be the * second character which requires to be swapped with the preceding * character. Vice versa, if the preceding match is to be found, * position to search from should not be the first character which * requires to be swapped with the next character. E.g certain Thai and * Lao characters require swapping. * <li> If a following pattern match is to be found, any position within a * contracting sequence except the first will fail. Vice versa if a * preceding pattern match is to be found, a invalid starting point * would be any character within a contracting sequence except the last. * </ul> * <p> * A breakiterator can be used if only matches at logical breaks are desired. * Using a breakiterator will only give you results that exactly matches the * boundaries given by the breakiterator. For instance the pattern "e" will * not be found in the string "\u00e9" if a character break iterator is used. * <p> * Options are provided to handle overlapping matches. * E.g. In English, overlapping matches produces the result 0 and 2 * for the pattern "abab" in the text "ababab", where else mutually * exclusive matches only produce the result of 0. * <p> * Though collator attributes will be taken into consideration while * performing matches, there are no APIs here for setting and getting the * attributes. These attributes can be set by getting the collator * from <tt>usearch_getCollator</tt> and using the APIs in <tt>ucol.h</tt>. * Lastly to update String Search to the new collator attributes, * usearch_reset() has to be called. * <p> * Restriction: <br> * Currently there are no composite characters that consists of a * character with combining class > 0 before a character with combining * class == 0. However, if such a character exists in the future, the * search mechanism does not guarantee the results for option 1. * * <p> * Example of use:<br> * <pre><code> * char *tgtstr = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy fox"; * char *patstr = "fox"; * UChar target[64]; * UChar pattern[16]; * UErrorCode status = U_ZERO_ERROR; * u_uastrcpy(target, tgtstr); * u_uastrcpy(pattern, patstr); * * UStringSearch *search = usearch_open(pattern, -1, target, -1, "en_US", * NULL, &status); * if (U_SUCCESS(status)) { * for (int pos = usearch_first(search, &status); * pos != USEARCH_DONE; * pos = usearch_next(search, &status)) * { * printf("Found match at %d pos, length is %d\n", pos, * usearch_getMatchLength(search)); * } * } * * usearch_close(search); * </code></pre> * @stable ICU 2.4 */ /** * DONE is returned by previous() and next() after all valid matches have * been returned, and by first() and last() if there are no matches at all. * @stable ICU 2.4 */ #define USEARCH_DONE -1 /** * Data structure for searching * @stable ICU 2.4 */ struct UStringSearch; /** * Data structure for searching * @stable ICU 2.4 */ typedef struct UStringSearch UStringSearch; /** * @stable ICU 2.4 */ typedef enum { /** Option for overlapping matches */ USEARCH_OVERLAP, /** * Option for canonical matches. option 1 in header documentation. * The default value will be USEARCH_OFF */ USEARCH_CANONICAL_MATCH, /** * Option to control how collation elements are compared. * The default value will be USEARCH_STANDARD_ELEMENT_COMPARISON. * @stable ICU 4.4 */ USEARCH_ELEMENT_COMPARISON, USEARCH_ATTRIBUTE_COUNT } USearchAttribute; /** * @stable ICU 2.4 */ typedef enum { /** Default value for any USearchAttribute */ USEARCH_DEFAULT = -1, /** Value for USEARCH_OVERLAP and USEARCH_CANONICAL_MATCH */ USEARCH_OFF, /** Value for USEARCH_OVERLAP and USEARCH_CANONICAL_MATCH */ USEARCH_ON, /** * Value (default) for USEARCH_ELEMENT_COMPARISON; * standard collation element comparison at the specified collator * strength. * @stable ICU 4.4 */ USEARCH_STANDARD_ELEMENT_COMPARISON, /** * Value for USEARCH_ELEMENT_COMPARISON; * collation element comparison is modified to effectively provide * behavior between the specified strength and strength - 1.

Thus, for example, an A followed a combining accent mark will * not be found when searching for a plain (unaccented) A. (unless * the collation strength has been set to ignore all accents). * * When beginning a search, the initial starting position, startIdx, * is assumed to be an acceptable match boundary with respect to * combining characters. A combining sequence that spans across the * starting point will not supress a match beginning at startIdx. * * Characters that expand to multiple collation elements * (German sharp-S becoming 'ss', or the composed forms of accented * characters, for example) also must match completely. * Searching for a single 's' in a string containing only a sharp-s will * find no match. * * * @param strsrch the UStringSearch struct, which references both * the text to be searched and the pattern being sought. * @param startIdx The index into the text to begin the search. * @param matchStart An out parameter, the starting index of the matched text. * This parameter may be NULL. * A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found. * @param matchLimit Out parameter, the index of the first position following the matched text. * The matchLimit will be at a suitable position for beginning a subsequent search * in the input text. * This parameter may be NULL. * A value of -1 will be returned if no match was found. * * @param status Report any errors. Note that no match found is not an error. * @return TRUE if a match was found, FALSE otherwise. * * @internal */ U_INTERNAL UBool U_EXPORT2 usearch_searchBackwards(UStringSearch *strsrch, int32_t startIdx, int32_t *matchStart, int32_t *matchLimit, UErrorCode *status); #endif /* #if !UCONFIG_NO_COLLATION && !UCONFIG_NO_BREAK_ITERATION */ #endif
