The Regex Oddity thread reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask about since 8.5's release. Does anyone have any pointers to URLs explaining what's new, from an end-user perspective, in PCRE 5 versus 4? The BBEdit release notes mention named expressions, but beyond a handful of terse lines I came across somewhere, I've not found any good user-level docs that talk about what v5 introduced. I would assume a major new release has plenty of user-level changes and additions, but perhaps most of the changes are on the dev level.... (Incidentally, the change log on the PCRE site doesn't say anything about named expressions, unless I just missed it; this raises doubts about the completeness of the log.)
It's because it goes back further than v.5 -- Look at v4.0 #36. But no, I don't have a useful reference, other than the change log. ----- Joe Hourcle -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Have a feature request?
