Hi, I am trying to use the browscap.org database to do HTTP User Agent Classification.
This database consists of a (large) number of regexes and data about the browser should the user agent string match that regex. What I want to do is compile all the regexes together and be able to add annotations such that I can match a UA string against this regex and get back an idea of which pattern matched so that I can look up the appropriate data. i.e. I have a data structure keyed by "pattern" and I want to my input to be something that matches that pattern rather than the pattern itself. It seems that for this I need "Callbacks" but I don't really need full callback support: I don't necessarily need to call an actual procedure and I don't need to replace anything: I'm not doing a search/replace, just a match. "All" I really need is to be able to annotate the FSM node that matched with a little bit of data that I can get back. Is this something that would be easy to add to irregex or can anyone suggest any other alternative implementations that I might consider? The PHP library that uses this browscap database (apparently) just does a linear search by trying to match each regex in turn but I'd rather keep that approach as a last resort. Thanks for your help and any tips you can offer.
