If you decide not to worry about the character-class extensions, you can just try to compile the regex as-is, and then if that fails, look for and change the three missing cases (all of which will cause regex-compiler errors) and try again. Since good regexes are more probable than bad ones (I hope), and the three missing features are only rarely used, that should speed you up overall. That also has the advantage that you get all of the Java extensions for free, some of which are extremely nice, notably the embedded flags and \A, \z, and \Z (which mean the same as ^ and $ *except* when the m flag is on). -- GMail doesn't have rotating .sigs, but you can see mine at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/signatures --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
