I myself have been using the PCRE library: https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats/tree/master/contrib/atscntrb/atscntrb-hx-libpcre
There is also the SDSTRING library available. You are welcome to implement a library of string manipulation functions. And I am happy to add it to https://github.com/githwxi/ATS-Postiats-contrib for now. As for building an ecosystem for ATS3, I am thinking about a way for contributed packages to be hosted on-line. Not much progress is made at this stage, though. --Hongwei On Thursday, February 25, 2021 at 8:44:24 AM UTC-5 d4v3y_5c0n3s wrote: > I was searching through the prelude looking for a way to find a > formatted string within another string in ATS, but there doesn't seem to be > a built-in way to do this.
