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 back ends;
comprehensive documentation, tutorials and copious examples.

See the About page for details.

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.

See the Roadmap page for details.
