Thank you Raphael !
Indeed, keeping the C encoding underneath strings (and arrays) is a nice
property.

How about just prefix ma
Richard Jones described the internals of OCaml quite concisely. The

There is a pointer to

It reminds me of the micmatch/mikmatch project(s),
http://martin.jambon.free.fr/micmatch.html, but never used it, only remember
reading the announce on the hump or this list.

Hi Walter,
Contrary to Prolog or Haskell, strings in ocaml are not represented as char
lists. They are exactly like char array, but have their own type, operations
and syntax : strings are created with String.make (similar to Array.make),
their length is given by String.length (sim. to Array.lengt

No, standard Ocaml 3.12 has no way of doing matching (in the sense of the match
expression) on [the content of] Oc
Hi all,
I'm just trying to write a recursive function that iterates¹ on a string
and I'd like to use pattern matching as in:
let rec iter f s =
match s with
| "" -> unit;
| c^s1 -> f c; iter f s1;;
but the ^ concatenates 2 strings and not a char with a string and above
all seems to
