Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : regexp-pp Version : 0.9.3 Upstream Author : Yutaka Oiwa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://web.yl.is.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~oiwa/caml/#regexp-pp * License : LGPL & QPL Description : Syntax extension for OCaml to make Regexp usage much easier Regexp/OCaml provides convenient syntax sugar for regular expression match for strings using PCRE/OCaml library. The features of this macro package are the following:
Convenient syntax: similar to standard match-with expression Binding matching substrings to variables: no more $1, $2, ... Automagical easy-to-use type-coercion: no flood of int_of_string etc. Support for optional-patterns: gives string option type etc. Default values for optional-patterns A regular expression which appears in the source file will be evaluated only once; it is pre-compiled before actual execution and then cached. The package contains a small macro, called "once", makes any value to be evaluated only once. Binary package will be libocaml-regexp-pp-dev. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux erwin 2.4.25-pre5 #1 Thu Jan 15 18:34:29 CST 2004 alpha Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
