Hi everyone,
Is there a way to do a shortest regular expression matching using Str ?
In Perl and many RE engines, this is done by using .*? but it does not
seems to work on Str.
let s = "yayybyyb" in
let r = Str.regexp "a\(.*?\)b" in
Str.search_forward r s 0;
Str.matched_group 1 s;
=> "yybyy" instead of "yy"

Why not to use Pcre module then?
