- Description: regex.library is an AmigaOS shared library that implements regular
- expressions (REs) as defined in POSIX 1003.2 .
- The library is based on the code by Henry Spencer (see the Copyright file),
- included in sources of Apaches_1.3.4 .
- The library offers also an ARexx interface to REs .
-
- Note: This is the very first non beta version, tested, but not so much .
- REs function are very very stack consuming ( expecially regcomp and regexec )
- so always watch your stack .
- From the original documentation by Henry Spencer, it seems that a RE like
- a)b is legal: it is not .
- That's why the test from the original archive reports error on REs with a ')'.
