org.jbehave.core.parsers.RegexPrefixCapturingPatternParser

All Implemented Interfaces:

StepPatternParser

public class RegexPrefixCapturingPatternParser
extends java.lang.Object
implements StepPatternParser

A step pattern parser that provides a step matcher which will capture parameters starting with the given prefix in any matching step. Default prefix is $. The parameter names are by default assumed to be any unicode-supported alphanumeric sequence, not limited to ASCII (see http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html), i.e. corresponding to character class [\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pc}]. A different character class can optionally be provided.
