[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/jruby/joni.png)](http://travis-ci.org/jruby/joni)

Java port of Oniguruma regexp library

## Usage

### Imports
  ```java
      import org.jcodings.specific.UTF8Encoding;
      import org.joni.Matcher;
      import org.joni.Option;
      import org.joni.Regex;
  ```

### Matching

  ```java
      
      byte[] pattern = "a*".getBytes();
      byte[] str = "aaa".getBytes();

      Regex regex = new Regex(pattern, 0, pattern.length, Option.NONE, UTF8Encoding.INSTANCE);
      Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(str);
      int result = matcher.search(0, str.length, Option.DEFAULT);
  ```

### Using captures

  ```java
    byte[] pattern = "(a*)".getBytes();
    byte[] str = "aaa".getBytes();

    Regex regex = new Regex(pattern, 0, pattern.length, Option.NONE, UTF8Encoding.INSTANCE);
    Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(str);
    int result = matcher.search(0, str.length, Option.DEFAULT);
    if (result != -1) {
        Region region = matcher.getEagerRegion();
    }
  ```

### Using named captures

  ```java
    byte[] pattern = "(?<name>a*)".getBytes();
    byte[] str = "aaa".getBytes();

    Regex regex = new Regex(pattern, 0, pattern.length, Option.NONE, UTF8Encoding.INSTANCE);
    Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(str);
    int result = matcher.search(0, str.length, Option.DEFAULT);
    if (result != -1) {
        Region region = matcher.getEagerRegion();
        for (Iterator<NameEntry> entry = regex.namedBackrefIterator(); entry.hasNext();) {
            NameEntry e = entry.next();
            int number = e.getBackRefs()[0]; // can have many refs per name
            // int begin = region.beg[number];
            // int end = region.end[number];

        }
    }
  ```
