Namespace ew::app

PhraseMatch struct

struct ew::app::PhraseMatch

One whole-word occurrence of a phrase within analyzed text, as returned by findMatches(). Offsets are UTF-16 code-unit indices into the analyzed text.

Members

qsizetype ew::app::PhraseMatch::offset = 0

Code-unit offset of the match within the analyzed text.

qsizetype ew::app::PhraseMatch::length = 0

Length of the match in code units.

QString ew::app::PhraseMatch::matched

The exact text matched, preserving its original casing.

Functions

std::vector< PhraseMatch > ew::app::findMatches(const QRegularExpression &pattern, QStringView text)

Returns every whole-word occurrence in text of any alternative in pattern (as built by wholeWordAlternation()), in order of appearance.

QRegularExpression ew::app::wholeWordAlternation(const QStringList &phrases)

Builds a case-insensitive, Unicode-aware regular expression matching any of phrases as a whole word or phrase. Phrases are regex-escaped and longer ones are tried first, so "kind of" wins over "kind". A phrase is matched only when it is not adjacent to a word character, so it never matches inside a larger word ("cat" in "category") yet a phrase edged with punctuation ("Acme Inc.", "H.P.", "@Ghost") still matches – unlike a plain boundary, which fails at a non-word-next-to-non-word edge. An empty list yields a pattern that never matches. Build the pattern once (rules cache it) and reuse it across calls.
