Brace expansion using ranges
From Rosetta Code
Brace expansion using ranges is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
Task[edit]
Write and test a function which expands one or more Unix-style numeric and alphabetic range braces embedded in a larger string.
Specification
The brace strings used by Unix shells permit expansion of both:
- Recursive comma-separated lists (covered by the related task: Brace_expansion, and can be ignored here)
- ordered numeric and alphabetic ranges, which are the object of this task.
The general pattern of brace ranges is:
{<START>..<END>}
and, in more recent shells:
{<START>..<END>..<INCR>}
(See https://wiki.bash-hackers.org/syntax/expansion/brace)
Expandable ranges of this kind can be ascending or descending:
simpleNumber{1..3}.txt
simpleAlpha-{Z..X}.txt
and may have a third INCR element specifying ordinal intervals larger than one. The increment value can be preceded by a - minus sign, but not by a + sign.
The effect of the minus sign is to always to reverse the natural order suggested by the START and END values.
Any level of zero-padding used in either the START or END value of a numeric range is adopted in the expansions.
steppedDownAndPadded-{10..00..5}.txt
minusSignFlipsSequence {030..20..-5}.txt
A single string may contain more than one expansion range:
combined-{Q..P}{2..1}.txt
Alphabetic range values are limited to a single character for START and END but these characters are not confined to the ASCII alphabet.
emoji{🌵..🌶}{🌽..🌾}etc
Unmatched braces are simply ignored, as are empty braces, and braces which contain no range (or list).
li{teral
rangeless{}empty
rangeless{random}string
Tests
Generate and display here the expansion of (at least) each of the nine example lines shown above.
The JavaScript implementation below uses parser combinators, aiming to encode a more or less full and legible description of the<PREAMBLE><AMBLE><POSTSCRIPT>range brace grammar, but you should use any resource that suggests itself in your language, including parser libraries.
(The grammar of range expansion, unlike that of nested list expansion, is not recursive, so even regular expressions should prove serviceable here).
The output of the JS implementation, which aims to match the brace expansion behaviour of the default zsh shell on macOS Catalina is:
simpleNumberRising{1..3}.txt ->
simpleNumberRising1.txt
simpleNumberRising2.txt
simpleNumberRising3.txt
simpleAlphaDescending-{Z..X}.txt ->
simpleAlphaDescending-Z.txt
simpleAlphaDescending-Y.txt
simpleAlphaDescending-X.txt
steppedDownAndPadded-{10..00..5}.txt ->
steppedDownAndPadded-10.txt
steppedDownAndPadded-05.txt
steppedDownAndPadded-00.txt
minusSignFlipsSequence {030..20..-5}.txt ->
minusSignFlipsSequence 020.txt
minusSignFlipsSequence 025.txt
minusSignFlipsSequence 030.txt
combined-{Q..P}{2..1}.txt ->
combined-Q2.txt
combined-Q1.txt
combined-P2.txt
combined-P1.txt
emoji{🌵..🌶}{🌽..🌾}etc ->
emoji🌵🌽etc
emoji🌵🌾etc
emoji🌶🌽etc

"""Brace range expansion. Requires Python >=3.6.
Here we use regular expressions for parsing and take an object orientated approach
to expansion of range expressions.
NOTE: With my current version of bash (GNU bash, version 5.0.3(1)-release), a ``-``
or ``+`` character in front of a `step` has no effect. This implementation reverses
the range if a ``-`` immediately precedes a step, and does not recognize range
expressions that use a ``+``.
NOTE: This implementation supports stepped ordinal range expressions.
