Abstract
A technique in accordance with one embodiment of the invention automatically generates class interfaces for regular expressions based on graphs that correspond to the regular expressions. According to one embodiment of the invention, a graph is automatically generated based on a regular expression. Strongly connected components within the graph are automatically identified. For each strongly connected component within the graph, a separate method is generated within a class interface for the regular expression. In one embodiment of the invention, if a strongly connected component contains a cycle, then the method corresponding to that strongly connected component is generated to return a List of 'T,' where 'T' is a type that is as specific as the contents of the strongly typed component permit.
