#match-recursive
Recursive regular expression matching for nested constructs
Heavily inspired by Steven Leviathan's article.
Ever wanted to match all contents between braces in a string, only to run into trouble with unmatched braces? Here's the solution!
Each [balanced, so this ']' bracket is ignored] subgroup will be matched recursively, ((2 + 2)*2)^2 will also match the outer group '(2 + 2)*2'. A second invocation will match the inner group '2+2'.
npm install match-recursive
##Usage examples
var matchRecursive = require("match-recursive");
matchRecursive("test ", "(...)"); // returns: []
matchRecursive("(t(e)s)()t", "(...)"); // returns: ["t(e)s", ""]
matchRecursive("t<e>>st", "<...>"); // returns: ["e"]
matchRecursive("t<<e>st", "<...>"); // returns: ["e"]
matchRecursive("t<<e>>st", "<...>"); // returns: ["<e>"]
matchRecursive("<|t<e<|s|>t|>", "<|...|>"); // returns: ["t<e<|s|>t"]
