Hi Pablo,

unfortunately, that it is not possible:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/PatternsTutorial, section Limitations.

\starttext
        \startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em]
        \startluacode
local pat = (lpeg.Cmt(lpeg.P("this") + lpeg.P("that"), function(str,_,s)
                context(s)
                return #str
            end) + lpeg.P(1))^1
            lpeg.match(pat,"how about this being that")

local pat = (lpeg.Cmt(lpeg.oneof({ "this", "that" }), function(str,_,s)
                context(s)
                return #str
            end) + lpeg.P(1))^1
            lpeg.match(pat,"how about this being that")
        \stopluacode
        \stopTEXpage
\stoptext

Dear list,

I have the following sample:

        \starttext
        \startTEXpage[pagestate=start, offset=1em]
        \startluacode
                local str = "this is that"
                context(str:match("(this|these)"))
        \stopluacode
        \stopTEXpage
        \stoptext

In short, I would like to know whether it is possible to have the
regular expression (this|these) as a Lua pattern.

I mean, I need complete strings and I haven’t found the way to do it.

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
