```
public RepeatExpression(AbstractRegularExpression expr,
                        int repeat,
                        int mode)
```
    Parameters:
    
    repeat - number of times this expression has to be found sequentially ;
    
    mode - EXACTLY, AT_LEAST or AT_MOST
- Method Detail
  - setPattern
```
public void setPattern(AbstractRegularExpression expr)
```
    set the base-pattern to the given expression
  - interpret
```
public boolean interpret(Context c)
                  throws REParserException
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractRegularExpression
    
    Parses this expression, possibly using the given Context to fetch the String to interpret if this Expression is a leaf expression.
    
    Specified by:
    
    interpret in class AbstractRegularExpression
    
    Returns:
    
    TRUE if and only if the given "expr" has been found as many times as specified by the "mode" given in the constructor. If TRUE, calls action with : key="*", value=new Integer(number of effective repeat found)
    
    Throws:
    
    REParserException - if an error occur during parsing
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
