Well that sounds like a pretty good argument in favor of pregexp -- I'll look in to it. Of course we can only include it in guile-core (without a rewrite) if the author's amenable to the LGPL and copyright assignment. If pregexp *is* suitable, I can probably handle improving the performance. I'll ask the author. > Good aim, but I'd like the more general: a powerful regex lib whose > syntax and behaviour is invariant across all the platforms on which I > run scheme. > > Is that achievable? Should be. Ideally, that might be encouraged via a suitable SRFI. Wonder if pregexp might be appropriate... -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG starting 2002-11-03 = 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4 _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
