Philippe Verdy <verd...@wanadoo.fr> added the comment: You said that this extension was not implemented anywhere, and you were wrong.
I've found that it IS implemented in Perl 6! Look at this discussion: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=602361 Look at how the matches in quantified capture groups are returned as arrayref's (i.e. references to a numbered array). So my idea is not stupid. Given that Perl rules the world of the Regexp language, it will be implemented elsewhere sonner or later, notably in PCRE, awk, vi, sed, PHP, .NET library... Already, this is used in CPAN libraries for Perl v6... (when the X flag is set for extensions) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7132> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
