Readme for regex-0.14.0.0

[back to package description]

regex

regex is a regular expression toolkit for regex-base with:

  • a text-replacement toolkit with type-safe text-replacement templates;
  • special datatypes for matches and captures;
  • compile-time checking of RE syntax;
  • a unified means of controlling case-sensitivity and multi-line options;
  • high-level AWK-like tools for building text processing apps;
  • the option of using match operators with reduced polymorphism on the text and result types;
  • regular expression macros including:
    • a number of useful RE macros;
    • a test bench for testing and documenting new macro environments;
  • built-in support for the TDFA and PCRE backends;
  • comprehensive documentation, tutorials and copious examples.

See the About page for details.

regex and regex-examples

The library and tutorial, tests and examples have been split across two packages:

  • the regex package contains the regex library with the Posix TDFA back end
  • the regex-with-pcre library package contains the extra modules needed for the PCRE back end
  • the regex-examples package contains the tutorial, tests and example programs.
