Regexp support is a different story. You might look at 'ulex' which provides in-language support (including UTF-8 support) strong enough to translate a large and complex lexer (namely, the Felix lexer). Since it uses regular definitions and multi branched matching, it is much more scalable than the weak Perl technology -- which only handles regexps, cant do parallel matches, can't handle I18n properly, and of course is totally unreadable as well as being slow. -- John Skaller, mailto:skaller@users.sf.net voice: 061-2-9660-0850, snail: PO BOX 401 Glebe NSW 2037 Australia Checkout the Felix programming language http://felix.sf.net ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
