I write CMS in ASP.NET/C#, and I need to handle such things, every request to a page:
<html>
<head>
<title>[Title]</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="[Action]" method="get">
[TextBox Name="Email", Background=Red]
[Button Type="Submit"]
</form>
</body>
</html>
and, of course, replace [...].
My question is how to implement it, with ANTLR or with Regex? What will be faster? Please note that if I implement it with ANTLR, I think that I will need to implement XML by adding to [..].
I will need to implement the parameters, etc.
EDIT: Note that my regex might even look something like this:
public override string ToString()
{
return Regex.Replace(Input, @"\[
\s*(?<name>\w+)\s*
(?<parameter>
[\s,]*
(?<paramName>\w+)
\s*
=
\s*
(
(?<paramValue>\w+)
|
(""(?<paramValue>[^""]*)"")
)
)*
\]", (match) =>
{
...
}, RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace);
}
