RegexPrecondition

public RegexPrecondition(Operation op,
                         int fixedPos,
                         int minPos)

Create a precondition for a regular expression to be true

Parameters:

op - the operation to be performed. The precondition is true if op.iterateMatches(p).hasNext() is true at some position p, subject to the constraints in the other two arguments

fixedPos - indicates that the operation only needs to be tested at this position. Used when all previous parts of the regular expression are fixed length, and the regex starts with a "^" anchor. Defaults to -1, indicating that the operation needs to be tested at every position.

minPos - indicates that the operation needs to be tested at this position and all subsequent positions within the input string (until a match is found or the end of the string is reached). Defaults to 0.
