LogiPat Manual *logiPat-manual* *logiPat-man* + + *logiPat-arg* *logiPat-input* *logiPat-pattern* *logiPat-operators* + Boolean logic patterns are composed of + + operators ! = not + | = logical-or + & = logical-and + grouping ( ... ) + patterns "pattern" + + :LogiPat {boolean-logic pattern} *:LogiPat* + :LogiPat is a command which takes a boolean-logic + argument (|logiPat-arg|). + + :LP {boolean-logic pattern} *:LP* + :LP is a shorthand command version of :LogiPat + + :LPE {boolean-logic pattern} *:LPE* + No search is done, but the conversion from the + boolean logic pattern to the regular expression + is performed and echoed onto the display. + + :LogiPatFlags {search flags} *LogiPat-flags* + :LogiPatFlags {search flags} + LogiPat uses the |search()| command.

LogiPat Examples *logiPat-examples* + + LogiPat takes Boolean logic arguments and produces a regular + expression which implements the choices.

The double quotes + are needed to pass normal patterns to LogiPat, and + differentiate such patterns from boolean logic + operators. + + +============================================================================== +4. Caveat *logiPat-caveat* + + The "not" operator may be fragile; ie. it may not always play well + with the & (logical-and) and | (logical-or) operators.
