Functions to restrict a regex to a specific number

Usage

n_times(x, n, type = c("greedy", "lazy", "possessive"))

between(x, low, high, type = c("greedy", "lazy", "possessive"))

at_least(x, n, type = c("greedy", "lazy", "possessive"))

at_most(x, n, type = c("greedy", "lazy", "possessive"))

Arguments

x	A regex pattern.
n	An integer number
type	the type of match to perform. There are three match types greedy: match the longest string. This is the default matching type. lazy: match the shortest string. This matches the shortest string from the same anchor point, not necessarily the shortest global string. possessive: match and don't allow backtracking
low	An integer number for the lower limit.
high	An integer number for the upper limit.

Functions

• n_times: x must occur exactly n times.

• between: x must occur between low and high times.

• at_least: x must occur at least n times.
