I am not certain if there's any regex magic that can do this:
foo(f1, f2()) = bar { b1, b2 {}} //match all of this
foo(f3) // dont match this
bar{b3} // dont match this
what I am trying to do is capture an entire line if it contains this pattern:
\w+\((?:[^()]|(?RECURSION ON PARENTHESES))*\)\s*=\s*\w+{(?:[^{}]|(?RECURSION ON CURLY BRACKETS))*}
You can use regex subroutines:
\w+\s*(\((?:[^()]++|(?-1))*\))\s*=\s*\w+\s*({(?:[^{}]++|(?-1))*})
See the regex demo.
Details:
\w+ - one or more word chars\s* - zero or more whitespaces(\((?:[^()]++|(?-1))*\)) - a substring between paired nested parentheses\s*=\s* - a = char enclosed with zero or more whitespaces\w+\s* - one or more word chars, zero or more whitespaces({(?:[^{}]++|(?-1))*}) - a substring between paired nested curly braces.Note the (?-1) recurses the latest capturing group pattern.
