Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DateRangeProcessor() [1/2]

Xapian::DateRangeProcessor::DateRangeProcessor ( Xapian::valueno  slot_,
unsigned  flags_ = 0,
int  epoch_year_ = 1970 
)
inlineexplicit

Constructor.

Parameters
slot_The value number to return from operator().
flags_Zero or more of the following flags, combined with bitwise-or:
epoch_year_Year to use as the epoch for dates with 2 digit years (default: 1970, so 1/1/69 is 2069 while 1/1/70 is 1970).

Definition at line 272 of file queryparser.h.

◆ DateRangeProcessor() [2/2]

Xapian::DateRangeProcessor::DateRangeProcessor ( Xapian::valueno  slot_,
const std::string &  str_,
unsigned  flags_ = 0,
int  epoch_year_ = 1970 
)
inline

Constructor.

Parameters
slot_The value slot number to query.
str_A prefix or suffix string to look for to recognise values as belonging to this date range (flags_ determines whether this is a prefix or suffix).
flags_Zero or more of the following flags, combined with bitwise-or:
  • Xapian::RP_SUFFIX - require str_ as a suffix instead of a prefix.
  • Xapian::RP_REPEATED - optionally allow str_ on both ends of the range - e.g. $1..$10 or 5m..50m. By default a prefix is only checked for on the start (e.g. date:1/1/1980..31/12/1989), and a suffix only on the end (e.g. 2..12kg).
  • Xapian::RP_DATE_PREFER_MDY - interpret ambiguous dates as month/day/year rather than day/month/year.
epoch_year_Year to use as the epoch for dates with 2 digit years (default: 1970, so 1/1/69 is 2069 while 1/1/70 is 1970).

The string supplied in str_ is used by operator() to decide whether the pair of strings supplied to it constitute a valid range. If prefix_ is true, the first value in a range must begin with str_ (and the second value may optionally begin with str_); if prefix_ is false, the second value in a range must end with str_ (and the first value may optionally end with str_).

If str_ is empty then no prefix or suffix is checked for (and Xapian::RP_SUFFIX and Xapian::RP_REPEATED are irrelevant) - anything which looks like a date range will be processed.

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator()()

Xapian::Query Xapian::DateRangeProcessor::operator() ( const std::string &  begin,
const std::string &  end 
)
virtual

Check for a valid date range.

Parameters
beginThe start of the range as specified in the query string by the user.
endThe end of the range as specified in the query string by the user.

If a prefix or suffix was specified at construction time, that must be present on begin and/or end (taking Xapian::RP_SUFFIX and Xapian::RP_REPEATED into account).

Then if the range looks like a date range, the dates are converted to the format YYYYMMDD and combined into a value range query.

Most numeric date formats are recognised:

  • YYYYMMDD - e.g. 20251225..20260214
  • YYYY-MM-DD (ISO) - e.g. 2025-12-25..2026-02-14
  • month/day/year (US) - e.g. 12/25/2025..2/14/2026
  • day/month/year (much of the world) - e.g. 25/12/2025..14/2/2026

The delimiter can be -, / or . for any of the delimited formats, but must be the same within a single date.

Some dates are unfortunately ambiguous and could be in either of the last two formats - for example 2/3/2025 could be March 2nd or February 3rd. The range start is assumed to be before the range end which can resolve some ambiguous cases, but otherwise day/month/year is assumed unless flag Xapian::RP_DATE_PREFER_MDY was specified.

Two digit years can be used with the last two formats - constructor parameter epoch_year_ determines how these are interpreted.
