I'm just starting with ClojureScript and I've noticed a couple odd behaviors with regular expressions, which I assume are bugs.
The first has to do with non-greedy (reluctant) quantifiers. The following regexes work fine: ClojureScript:cljs.user> (re-matches #"a?b?" "a") "a" ClojureScript:cljs.user> (re-matches #"a?b?" "b") "b" as does this: ClojureScript:cljs.user> (re-matches #"a??b?" "b") "b" but the following doesn't: ClojureScript:cljs.user> (re-matches #"a??b?" "a") nil It does work in regular Clojure: user=> (re-matches #"a??b?" "a") "a" I understand that Clojure uses Java regexes and ClojureScript uses JavaScript regexes. I've never really used JavaScript, but my understanding is that it supports non-greedy quantifiers. The other issue is that re-seq in ClojureScript hangs on certain inputs: ClojureScript:cljs.user> (re-seq #"a?" "a") <no response> Thanks, David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
