如何生成满足某个语法的所有可能的表达式

问题描述

我的应用程序有一个语法，其中包含以下表达式：

(FIND, SEARCH, Lookup) [a, the, an, for] ITEM [in, at] (NEST, SHELF, DESK)

圆括号中的项目"()"-必填，方括号中的项目是可选的，不带括号的单词是必填项。

对我来说，简单的表达方式是：

• 在办公桌上查找物品
• 在桌子中查找项目
• 在Nest中查找项目
• 搜索货架上的商品

是否有任何分析方法或库可用于生成所有可能的组合？

解决方案

Sjoerd的answer指向exrex。由于您的表达式可以编写为正则表达式，因此该库将执行此操作。

>>> import exrex
>>> list(exrex.generate(r'(FIND|SEARCH|Lookup)( a| the| an| for)? ITEM ( in| at)?( NEST| SHELF| DESK)'))
['FIND ITEM  NEST', 'FIND ITEM  SHELF', 'FIND ITEM  DESK', 'FIND ITEM  in NEST', 'FIND ITEM  in SHELF', 'FIND ITEM  in DESK', 'FIND ITEM  at NEST', 'FIND ITEM  at SHELF', 'FIND ITEM  at DESK', 'FIND a ITEM  NEST', 'FIND a ITEM  SHELF', 'FIND a ITEM  DESK', 'FIND a ITEM  in NEST', 'FIND a ITEM  in SHELF', 'FIND a ITEM  in DESK', 'FIND a ITEM  at NEST', 'FIND a ITEM  at SHELF', 'FIND a ITEM  at DESK', 'FIND the ITEM  NEST', 'FIND the ITEM  SHELF', 'FIND the ITEM  DESK', 'FIND the ITEM  in NEST', 'FIND the ITEM  in SHELF', 'FIND the ITEM  in DESK', 'FIND the ITEM  at NEST', 'FIND the ITEM  at SHELF', 'FIND the ITEM  at DESK', 'FIND an ITEM  NEST', 'FIND an ITEM  SHELF', 'FIND an ITEM  DESK', 'FIND an ITEM  in NEST', 'FIND an ITEM  in SHELF', 'FIND an ITEM  in DESK', 'FIND an ITEM  at NEST', 'FIND an ITEM  at SHELF', 'FIND an ITEM  at DESK', 'FIND for ITEM  NEST', 'FIND for ITEM  SHELF', 'FIND for ITEM  DESK', 'FIND for ITEM  in NEST', 'FIND for ITEM  in SHELF', 'FIND for ITEM  in DESK', 'FIND for ITEM  at NEST', 'FIND for ITEM  at SHELF', 'FIND for ITEM  at DESK', 'SEARCH ITEM  NEST', 'SEARCH ITEM  SHELF', 'SEARCH ITEM  DESK', 'SEARCH ITEM  in NEST', 'SEARCH ITEM  in SHELF', 'SEARCH ITEM  in DESK', 'SEARCH ITEM  at NEST', 'SEARCH ITEM  at SHELF', 'SEARCH ITEM  at DESK', 'SEARCH a ITEM  NEST', 'SEARCH a ITEM  SHELF', 'SEARCH a ITEM  DESK', 'SEARCH a ITEM  in NEST', 'SEARCH a ITEM  in SHELF', 'SEARCH a ITEM  in DESK', 'SEARCH a ITEM  at NEST', 'SEARCH a ITEM  at SHELF', 'SEARCH a ITEM  at DESK', 'SEARCH the ITEM  NEST', 'SEARCH the ITEM  SHELF', 'SEARCH the ITEM  DESK', 'SEARCH the ITEM  in NEST', 'SEARCH the ITEM  in SHELF', 'SEARCH the ITEM  in DESK', 'SEARCH the ITEM  at NEST', 'SEARCH the ITEM  at SHELF', 'SEARCH the ITEM  at DESK', 'SEARCH an ITEM  NEST', 'SEARCH an ITEM  SHELF', 'SEARCH an ITEM  DESK', 'SEARCH an ITEM  in NEST', 'SEARCH an ITEM  in SHELF', 'SEARCH an ITEM  in DESK', 'SEARCH an ITEM  at NEST', 'SEARCH an ITEM  at SHELF', 'SEARCH an ITEM  at DESK', 'SEARCH for ITEM  NEST', 'SEARCH for ITEM  SHELF', 'SEARCH for ITEM  DESK', 'SEARCH for ITEM  in NEST', 'SEARCH for ITEM  in SHELF', 'SEARCH for ITEM  in DESK', 'SEARCH for ITEM  at NEST', 'SEARCH for ITEM  at SHELF', 'SEARCH for ITEM  at DESK', 'Lookup ITEM  NEST', 'Lookup ITEM  SHELF', 'Lookup ITEM  DESK', 'Lookup ITEM  in NEST', 'Lookup ITEM  in SHELF', 'Lookup ITEM  in DESK', 'Lookup ITEM  at NEST', 'Lookup ITEM  at SHELF', 'Lookup ITEM  at DESK', 'Lookup a ITEM  NEST', 'Lookup a ITEM  SHELF', 'Lookup a ITEM  DESK', 'Lookup a ITEM  in NEST', 'Lookup a ITEM  in SHELF', 'Lookup a ITEM  in DESK', 'Lookup a ITEM  at NEST', 'Lookup a ITEM  at SHELF', 'Lookup a ITEM  at DESK', 'Lookup the ITEM  NEST', 'Lookup the ITEM  SHELF', 'Lookup the ITEM  DESK', 'Lookup the ITEM  in NEST', 'Lookup the ITEM  in SHELF', 'Lookup the ITEM  in DESK', 'Lookup the ITEM  at NEST', 'Lookup the ITEM  at SHELF', 'Lookup the ITEM  at DESK', 'Lookup an ITEM  NEST', 'Lookup an ITEM  SHELF', 'Lookup an ITEM  DESK', 'Lookup an ITEM  in NEST', 'Lookup an ITEM  in SHELF', 'Lookup an ITEM  in DESK', 'Lookup an ITEM  at NEST', 'Lookup an ITEM  at SHELF', 'Lookup an ITEM  at DESK', 'Lookup for ITEM  NEST', 'Lookup for ITEM  SHELF', 'Lookup for ITEM  DESK', 'Lookup for ITEM  in NEST', 'Lookup for ITEM  in SHELF', 'Lookup for ITEM  in DESK', 'Lookup for ITEM  at NEST', 'Lookup for ITEM  at SHELF', 'Lookup for ITEM  at DESK']
