Description-en: OCaml bindings for PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expression)
This OCaml-library interfaces the PCRE (Perl-compatibility
regular expressions) C library. it can be used for matching
regular expressions which are written in Perl style.
.
Compared with the OCaml standard library "Str" module, this
library:
* uses Perl style rather than Emacs one
* is reentrant and thus thread safe
* is faster (when compiled to native code is even faster than
Perl regular expressions)
* returns data on which you can safely use destructive updates
* gives more "programming comfort" through a better API
.
This package contains all the development stuff you need to use
OCaml PCRE in your programs.
