lpeg.locale

Lua function lpeg.locale Summary Returns a table of patterns matching the current locale Prototype lpeg.locale ([table]) Description Returns a table with patterns for matching some character classes according to the current locale. The table has fields named alnum, alpha, cntrl, digit, graph, lower, print, punct, space, upper, and xdigit, each one containing a correspondent pattern. Each pattern matches any single character that belongs to its class. If called with an argument table, then it creates those fields inside the given table and returns that table. For example: local t = lpeg.locale() function atwordboundary (p) return lpeg.P{ [1] = p + t.alpha^0 * (1 - t.alpha)^1 * lpeg.V(1) } end See Also ...
