How to port this regular expression from JavaScript
Hi all, I need to port this from JavaScript to Elixir:
/[\0-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF](?![\uDC00-\uDFFF])|(?:[^\uD800-\uDBFF]|^)[\uDC00-\uDFFF]/
When I try:
Regex.compile!("[\0-\uD7FF\uE000-\uFFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF][\uDC00-\uDFFF]|[\uD800-\uDBFF](?![\uDC00-\uDFFF])|(?:[^\uD800-\uDBFF]|^)[\uDC00-\uDFFF]", "u")
I get:
** (ArgumentError) invalid or reserved Unicode codepoint 55296
(elixir) src/elixir_interpolation.erl:200: :elixir_interpolation.append_codepoint/5
(elixir) src/elixir_interpolation.erl:81: :elixir_interpolation."-unescape_tokens/2-lc$^0/1-0-"/2
(elixir) src/elixir_interpolation.erl:81: :elixir_interpolation.unescape_tokens/2
(elixir) src/elixir_tokenizer.erl:673: :elixir_tokenizer.handle_strings/6
(elixir) lib/code.ex:669: Code.string_to_quoted/2
and when I try
~r/[\0-\x{D7FF}\x{E000}-\x{FFFF}]|[\x{D800}-\x{DBFF}][\x{DC00}-\x{DFFF}]|[\x{D800}-\x{DBFF}](?![\x{DC00}-\x{DFFF}])|(?:[^\x{D800}-\x{DBFF}]|^)[\x{DC00}-\x{DFFF}]/u
I get
** (Regex.CompileError) disallowed Unicode code point (>= 0xd800 && <= 0xdfff) at position 39
(elixir) lib/regex.ex:172: Regex.compile!/2
(elixir) expanding macro: Kernel.sigil_r/2
iex:43: (file)
Looks like the problem is with \uD800. Does anybody has an idea how to solve it?

Looks like you are trying to find surrogate pairs? Elixir uses UTF-8 strings and that is AFAIK not allowed to contain surrogate pairs, so binaries containing them would not be valid strings. And since Regex operates on Elixir strings, it does not make sense to ask it to find them.
What is the actual thing you are trying to accomplish here?

Thanks! Looks good, but too simple for my case (doesn’t support urls with http://, internationalized domain names, etc).

Perhaps a set of PR’s to buff it up could be useful? It could be a great generic library for handling such things. ![]()
