Regular expressions
RE is a regular expression library for OCaml. It is still under development, but is already rather usable. The following styles of regular expressions are supported: - Perl-style regular expressions (module Re_perl); - Posix extended regular expressions (module Re_posix); - Emacs-style regular expressions (module Re_emacs); - Shell-style file globbing (module Re_glob). It is also possible to build regular expressions by combining simpler regular expressions (module Re) The most notable missing features are back-references and look-ahead/look-behind assertions. The matches are performed by lazily building a DFA (deterministic finite automata) from the regular expression. As a consequence, matching takes linear time in the length of the matched string. The compilation of patterns is slower than with libraries using back-tracking, such as PCRE. But, once a large enough part of the DFA is built, matching is extremely fast.
