I agree. I started looking at a function like this (given the number of EBNF
floating around w3c.org) but unfortunately have not produced anything
remotely useful. Though the exercise taught me a heap about all sort of
things I didn't know before...
Problems struck include "backtracking". I found a relevent scscript called
search-text.r (on www.rebol.org) by Eric Long that takes regular
expressions - but again I got lost.
So I second the motion, it would be nice to a such a function :)
