I've been looking into available libraries for string pattern matching and regular expressions, I found those:
* re/nre: both come with Nim, but have dependency on pcre lib (quit large, requires .dll on win32) * peg: more of a parser, very powerful but cumbersome for quick string matching Are there any other available options, preferably something small without external dependencies? If not, I'm considering porting the Lua string pattern matching code [1] to Nim; it's pretty concise (approx 500 LOC), and handles about 99% of the matching/capturing cases I usually need in real life. 1\.
