"""
Here is a simple python program showing how to use regular
expressions to write a paren-matching recursive parser.

This parser recognises items enclosed by parens, brackets,
braces and <> symbols, but is adaptable to any set of
open/close patterns.  This is where the re package greatly
assists in parsing. 
"""

import re


# The pattern below recognises a sequence consisting of:
#    1. Any characters not in the set of open/close strings.
#    2. One of the open/close strings.
#    3. The remainder of the string.
# 
# There is no reason the opening pattern can't be the
# same as the closing pattern, so quoted strings can
# be included.  However quotes are not ignored inside
# quotes.  More logic is needed for that....


pat = re.compile("""
    ( .*? )
    ( \( | \) | \[ | \] | \{ | \} | \< | \> |
                           \' | \" | BEGIN | END | $ )
    ( .* )
    """, re.X)

# The keys to the dictionary below are the opening strings,
# and the values are the corresponding closing strings.
# For example "(" is an opening string and ")" is its
# closing string.

matching = { "(" : ")",
             "[" : "]",
             "{" : "}",
             "<" : ">",
             '"' : '"',
             "'" : "'",
             "BEGIN" : "END" }

# The procedure below matches string s and returns a
# recursive list matching the nesting of the open/close
# patterns in s.

def matchnested(s, term=""):
    lst = []
    while True:
        m = pat.match(s)

        if m.group(1) != "":
            lst.append(m.group(1))

        if m.group(2) == term:
            return lst, m.group(3)

        if m.group(2) in matching:
            item, s = matchnested(m.group(3), matching[m.group(2)])
            lst.append(m.group(2))
            lst.append(item)
            lst.append(matching[m.group(2)])
        else:
            raise ValueError("After <<%s %s>> expected %s not %s" %
                             (lst, s, term, m.group(2)))

# Unit test.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    for s in ("simple string",
              """ "double quote" """,
              """ 'single quote' """,
              "one'two'three'four'five'six'seven",
              "one(two(three(four)five)six)seven",
              "one(two(three)four)five(six(seven)eight)nine",
              "one(two)three[four]five{six}seven<eight>nine",
              "one(two[three{four<five>six}seven]eight)nine",
              "oneBEGINtwo(threeBEGINfourENDfive)sixENDseven",
              "ERROR testing ((( mismatched ))] parens"):
        print "\ninput", s
        try:
            lst, s = matchnested(s)
            print "output", lst
        except ValueError as e:
            print str(e)
    print "done"

这是最终的正则表达式:

\(
(?<arguments> 
(  
  ([^\(\)']*) |  
  (\([^\(\)']*\)) |
  '(.*?)'

)*
)
\)

例子:

input: ( arg1, arg2, arg3, (arg4), '(pip' )

output: arg1, arg2, arg3, (arg4), '(pip'

注意，'(pip'被正确地管理为字符串。 (在调节器试过:http://sourceforge.net/projects/regulator/)

因为js regex不支持递归匹配，我不能使平衡括号匹配工作。

这是一个简单的javascript循环版本，将“method(arg)”字符串转换为数组

push(number) map(test(a(a()))) bass(wow, abc)
$$(groups) filter({ type: 'ORGANIZATION', isDisabled: { $ne: true } }) pickBy(_id, type) map(test()) as(groups)

const parser = str => {
  let ops = []
  let method, arg
  let isMethod = true
  let open = []

  for (const char of str) {
    // skip whitespace
    if (char === ' ') continue

    // append method or arg string
    if (char !== '(' && char !== ')') {
      if (isMethod) {
        (method ? (method += char) : (method = char))
      } else {
        (arg ? (arg += char) : (arg = char))
      }
    }

    if (char === '(') {
      // nested parenthesis should be a part of arg
      if (!isMethod) arg += char
      isMethod = false
      open.push(char)
    } else if (char === ')') {
      open.pop()
      // check end of arg
      if (open.length < 1) {
        isMethod = true
        ops.push({ method, arg })
        method = arg = undefined
      } else {
        arg += char
      }
    }
  }

  return ops
}

// const test = parser(`$$(groups) filter({ type: 'ORGANIZATION', isDisabled: { $ne: true } }) pickBy(_id, type) map(test()) as(groups)`)
const test = parser(`push(number) map(test(a(a()))) bass(wow, abc)`)

console.log(test)

结果就像

[ { method: 'push', arg: 'number' },
  { method: 'map', arg: 'test(a(a()))' },
  { method: 'bass', arg: 'wow,abc' } ]

[ { method: '$$', arg: 'groups' },
  { method: 'filter',
    arg: '{type:\'ORGANIZATION\',isDisabled:{$ne:true}}' },
  { method: 'pickBy', arg: '_id,type' },
  { method: 'map', arg: 'test()' },
  { method: 'as', arg: 'groups' } ]

虽然很多答案都以某种形式提到了这一点，比如正则表达式不支持递归匹配等等，但主要原因在于计算理论的根源。

形式为{a^nb^n | n>=0}的语言是非正则的。Regex只能匹配构成常规语言集一部分的东西。

实际上，使用. net正则表达式是可以做到这一点的，但它并不是微不足道的，所以请仔细阅读。

你可以在这里读到一篇不错的文章。您可能还需要阅读。net正则表达式。你可以从这里开始阅读。

使用尖括号<>是因为它们不需要转义。

正则表达式是这样的:

<
[^<>]*
(
    (
        (?<Open><)
        [^<>]*
    )+
    (
        (?<Close-Open>>)
        [^<>]*
    )+
)*
(?(Open)(?!))

除了bobble bubble的答案之外，还有其他类型的正则表达式支持递归结构。

Lua

使用%b() (%b{} / %b[]作为大括号/方括号):

对于字符串中的s。gmatch(“提取(a (b) c)和f (g)) ((d)”,“% b()”)做打印(s)结束(见演示)

Raku(前Perl6):

不重叠的多个平衡括号匹配:

my regex paren_any { '(' ~ ')' [ <-[()]>+ || <&paren_any> ]* }
say "Extract (a(b)c) and ((d)f(g))" ~~ m:g/<&paren_any>/;
# => (｢(a(b)c)｣ ｢((d)f(g))｣)

重叠多个平衡括号匹配:

say "Extract (a(b)c) and ((d)f(g))" ~~ m:ov:g/<&paren_any>/;
# => (｢(a(b)c)｣ ｢(b)｣ ｢((d)f(g))｣ ｢(d)｣ ｢(g)｣)

看到演示。

Python的非正则表达式解决方案

Java可定制的非正则表达式解决方案

下面是一个可定制的解决方案，允许在Java中使用单个字符文字分隔符:

public static List<String> getBalancedSubstrings(String s, Character markStart, 
                                 Character markEnd, Boolean includeMarkers) 

{
        List<String> subTreeList = new ArrayList<String>();
        int level = 0;
        int lastOpenDelimiter = -1;
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            char c = s.charAt(i);
            if (c == markStart) {
                level++;
                if (level == 1) {
                    lastOpenDelimiter = (includeMarkers ? i : i + 1);
                }
            }
            else if (c == markEnd) {
                if (level == 1) {
                    subTreeList.add(s.substring(lastOpenDelimiter, (includeMarkers ? i + 1 : i)));
                }
                if (level > 0) level--;
            }
        }
        return subTreeList;
    }
}

示例用法:

String s = "some text(text here(possible text)text(possible text(more text)))end text";
List<String> balanced = getBalancedSubstrings(s, '(', ')', true);
System.out.println("Balanced substrings:\n" + balanced);
// => [(text here(possible text)text(possible text(more text)))]
