Regexp library

Hi all,

I've written a simple regexp library for POSIX EREs, with a similar
interface to Text.Regex.



Benefits over Text.Regex include:

Works in nhc98

Laziness:
RE> match "^a" ('a':error "Foo")
Just []

Could easily be altered for regexps on lists of other datatypes




Missing features:

Text.Regex's matchRegexAll (should be simple to add)

[[=a=]] and [[.ch.]] (don't plan to add these)



I haven't looked at cabalising it or anything yet.
It can be downloaded from
http://urchin.earth.li/~ian/re-0.0.1.tar.gz
or
darcs get http://urchin.earth.li/darcs/ian/regexp



Thanks
Ian
