Support hierarchical named matches

elfring opened this issue · 1 comments

Some named matches are occasionally combined besides other characters for the handling of bigger data structures.
The overall data selection would be matched then.
I propose to connect another identifier to the total match result.
This identifier should become reusable for further named matches.

How do you think about to support the construction of search patterns with a varying level of embedded named matches?
Would you like to develop bottom-up parsing for selected data structures by such interfaces?

How do you think about to reconsider any related information according to the software functionality “named capturing groups” (from the application of regular expressions)? 🤔
