I think it's best put as "PCRE *can* be slower", take care with non-greedy matches and captures in Perl type regex. For chords I guess you want the first good match anyway, although that's an assumption. On Thu, 26 Apr 2007 08:01:32 -0400 "Alexandre Quessy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > reg

[PD] Chords parsing (with regexp)

Hi, It's been a long time I want to parse chord symbols. I started a patch a long time ago. Now, I think I should make an external out of that : easier to code... ;) Anyone has a hint on where to find such regular expression patterns ? I started this wiki page to put them on : http://wiki.dataflo
