Regular Expression Engine

Final project for Formal Languages and Automata Theory (CMP3004) course, by Utku Aydın and Ömer Buğra Selvi.

Design and Implementation

In main.cpp, the program reads two arguments: the filename and the regular expression. Then Engine::createNFA() first
converts the given expression to a postfix expression and then constructs a NFA by parsing it. After the NFA is constructed
then the program reads every line in the input file and checks if the any string sequence that’s accepted by the NFA exists
in the line.

NFA construction

Construction of NFA is done by using a stack. After reading each character of the postfix expression, a new NFA is created
by simply running NFA class’ relevant operation method.

Regular expression evaluation

NFA::accepts() method returns true whenver given string has a substring that adheres to the given regular expression. The
algorithm starts by finding which states which we can transition into from the inital state. First, it finds epsilon
transitions, then it finds all states we can transition into by using the currently evaluated character. If all goes well,
and we arrive into any final state, NFA::accepts() returns true.

Tests

We used Fyodor Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot books for testing our program. Results
can be found at sample outputs section.
