仅用于替换括号外特定字符的正则表达式

Question

我正在寻找正则表达式（最好在 R 中），它可以用 say ;; 替换（任意数量的）特定字符 say ; 但仅当 不存在 括号内 () 文本字符串内。

注：1. 括号内的替换字符也可能不止一个

2。 data/vector

中没有嵌套括号

例子

text;othertext 替换为 text;;othertext
但 text;other(texttt;some;someother);more 将替换为 text;;other(texttt;some;someother);;more。 （即 ; 仅在 () 之外被替换为替换文本）

不过，如果需要说明，我会尽力解释

in_vec <- c("abcd;ghi;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);dfg;(asd;fdsg);ag", "zvc;dfasdf;asdga;asd(asd;hsfd)", "adsg;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);sdafdf", "asagf;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;sdfa")

in_vec
#> [1] "abcd;ghi;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);dfg;(asd;fdsg);ag"
#> [2] "zvc;dfasdf;asdga;asd(asd;hsfd)"             
#> [3] "adsg;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);sdafdf"           
#> [4] "asagf;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;sdfa"

预期产量（手动计算）

[1] "abcd;;ghi;;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);;dfg;;(asd;fdsg);;ag" 
[2] "zvc;;dfasdf;;asdga;;asd(asd;hsfd)"             
[3] "adsg;;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);;sdafdf"            
[4] "asagf;;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;;sdfa"

Answer 1

您可以将 gsub 与 ;(?![^(]*\)) 一起使用：

gsub(";(?![^(]*\))", ";;", in_vec, perl=TRUE)
#[1] "abcd;;ghi;;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);;dfg;;(asd;fdsg);;ag"
#[2] "zvc;;dfasdf;;asdga;;asd(asd;hsfd)"                   
#[3] "adsg;;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);;sdafdf"                  
#[4] "asagf;;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;;sdfa"

; 找到 ;, (?!) .. Negative Lookahead（不匹配时进行替换），[^(] .. 一切但不是 (, * 重复前面的 0 到 n 次, \) .. 流过 ).

或

gsub(";(?=[^)]*($|\())", ";;", in_vec, perl=TRUE)
#[1] "abcd;;ghi;;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);;dfg;;(asd;fdsg);;ag"
#[2] "zvc;;dfasdf;;asdga;;asd(asd;hsfd)"                   
#[3] "adsg;;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);;sdafdf"                  
#[4] "asagf;;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;;sdfa"

; 找到 ;、(?=) .. 正面前瞻（当匹配时进行替换），[^)] .. 除了 [=22= 之外的所有内容],*重复前面的0到n次,($|\()..匹配结束$或(.

或使用gregexpr和regmatches提取(和)之间的部分并在不匹配的子字符串中进行替换：

x <- gregexpr("\(.*?\)", in_vec)  #Find the part between ( and )
mapply(function(a, b) {
  paste(matrix(c(gsub(";", ";;", b), a, ""), 2, byrow=TRUE), collapse = "")
}, regmatches(in_vec, x), regmatches(in_vec, x, TRUE))
#[1] "abcd;;ghi;;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);;dfg;;(asd;fdsg);;ag"
#[2] "zvc;;dfasdf;;asdga;;asd(asd;hsfd)"                   
#[3] "adsg;;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);;sdafdf"                  
#[4] "asagf;;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;;sdfa"

但所有这些都只适用于简单的打开 ( 关闭 ) 组合。

Answer 2

虽然可以使用正则表达式解决问题，但使用简单的函数可能更直接、更容易理解。

replace_semicolons_outside_parentheses <- function(raw_string) {
    """Replace ; with ;; outside of parentheses"""

    processed_string <- ""
    n_open_parentheses <- 0

    # Loops over characters in raw_string
    for (char in strsplit(raw_string, "")[[1]]) {

        # Update the net number of open parentheses
        if (char == "(") {
            n_open_parentheses <- n_open_parentheses + 1
        } else if (char == ")") {
            n_open_parentheses <- n_open_parentheses - 1
        }

        # Replace ; with ;; outside of parentheses
        if (char == ";" && n_open_parentheses == 0) {
            processed_string <- paste0(processed_string, ";;")
        } else {
            processed_string <- paste0(processed_string, char)
        }      
    }
    return(processed_string)
}

请注意，上面的函数也适用于嵌套括号：嵌套括号内的分号不会被替换！可以在一行中获得所需的输出：

out_vec <- lapply(in_vec, replace_semicolons_outside_parentheses)

# 1. 'abcd;;ghi;;dfsF(adffg;adfsasdf);;dfg;;(asd;fdsg);;ag'
# 2. 'zvc;;dfasdf;;asdga;;asd(asd;hsfd)'
# 3. 'adsg;;(asdg;ASF;DFG;ASDF;);;sdafdf'
# 4. 'asagf;;(fafgf;sadg;sdag;a;gddfg;fd)gsfg;;sdfa'

Answer 3

如果没有嵌套括号，请使用以下内容：

gsub("\([^()]*\)(*SKIP)(*FAIL)|;", ";;", in_vec, perl=TRUE)

见regex proof。
