[Gambas-devel] pcre component 0.0.3 - working

[Rob <sou...@ku...>]

Here is gb.pcre 0.0.3.  It seems to work fully now, though I 
would appreciate suggestions on more methods/properties.

The class is called Regex.  You initialize it like this:

dim re as Regex
re = new Regex("string to match", "regular expression")

It has these members:

integer property Offset - offset of the match if successful.
string property Match - that part of the string that matched the 
whole expression.
integer property SubMatchCount - number of submatches available.
string method SubMatch - takes index of the desired submatch and 
returns the matching substring.

A submatch is part of a match you put in parenthesis, like this:

re = new Regex("quick brown fox", "(b.+?)\s(\S+)")

Submatch 1 is "brown", submatch 2 is "fox".

It's still available from http://www.kudla.org/rpm/ but here is 
the tarball.  also included is an example gambas project.

That error dialog I was getting earlier went away... I don't know 
why, but I did reinstall gambas between then and now.
