You actually get utf8 or whatever matching already if you "setlocale" into such a charset. A bit of a trap if your strings are in one charset and it's being interpreted in another. > - What well-known form of regular expressions should be chosen - > POSIX, Emacs, Perl? The perl way has its fans. I guess an add-on that let you get that instead or as well as the basic posix bits might be cute. > - Is it acceptable to add an external dependency for regular > expression suppport, It might have to be LGPL to maintain that status on the resulting program. _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
