Regular expression

 [1/3] from: pleone::towertech::it at: 12-Oct-2004 20:38


Hallo, I'm reading the ROG book and at the same time I'm learning Perl and a bit of regular expression, the question is, does Rebol support the regexp? And how? Is there an external plugin? I find nothing into the index of the book (or I searched the wrong keyword). I was interested in rebol since several years ago, but only now I've some time to spend on it, at first glance rebol is different from anything I ever see (I'm a DIY programmer, or code-source brutalizer ;-), it is quite interesting. Thanks for your time, Pietro. -- I will build myself a copper tower With four ways out and no way in But mine the glory, mine the power (So I chose AmigaOS and GNU/Linux)

hi Pietro Rebol does not use regular expression natively. The rebol approach is to use 'parse for which you write a set of BNF-like rules. see http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore-15.html for an intro On Tue, 12 Oct 2004, Pietro Leone wrote:

--- snip --- There is no need to have regular expressions, because PARSE can do everything Regular Expressions do plus a whole lot more. See http://www.compkarori.com/vanilla/display/PARSE-Versus-Regexs for some comparison info. -Ladislav
