I'm using 3.07+2 here. The code you posted produced a warning for
me. It seems that for ocaml some extra escaping is required in
comparison with other languages.
Fixing this code:
open Str ;;
let re = "\\(a\\|b\\)*abb" ;;
let cre = regexp re ;;
let s = "ababababb" ;;
if string_match cre s 0 then print_endline "true"
else print_endline "false" ;;
prints "true" for me.
Cheers,
Erik
