This file hosts a centralized point for all regex patterns used in pymzML

Note

We need some comment lines for each regex, i.e. what does it catch .. maybe with examples and stuff …

Collection of regular expressions to catch spectrum XML-tags.

pymzml.regex_patterns.CHROMATOGRAM_AND_SPECTRUM_PATTERN_WITH_ID = re.compile('<\\s*(chromatogram|spectrum)\\s*(id=(\\".*?\\")|index=\\".*?\\")\\s(id=(\\".*?\\"))*\\s*.*\\sdefaultArrayLength=\\"[0-9]+\\">')

Regex to catch combined chromatogram and spectrum patterns

pymzml.regex_patterns.CHROMATOGRAM_CLOSE_PATTERN = re.compile(b'</chromatogram>')

Regex to catch spectrum xml close tags

pymzml.regex_patterns.CHROMATOGRAM_ID_PATTERN = re.compile('<chromatogram.*id="(.*?)".*?>')

Regex to catch chromatogram id patterns

pymzml.regex_patterns.CHROMATOGRAM_PATTERN = re.compile('<chromatogram.*id="(.*?)".*?>')

Regex pattern for SIM index

pymzml.regex_patterns.SPECTRUM_CLOSE_PATTERN = re.compile(b'</spectrum>')

pymzml.regex_patterns.SPECTRUM_ID_PATTERN2 = re.compile('(scan|scanId)=(\\d+)')

Simplified spectrum id regex. Greedly catches ints at the end of line

pymzml.regex_patterns.SPECTRUM_INDEX_PATTERN = re.compile(b'(?P<type>(scan=|nativeID="))(?P<nativeID>[0-9]*)">"(?P<offset>[0-9]*)</offset>')
