So, once upon a time, there was a regex library here. It was retired, presumably on the grounds that it was rendered obsolete by the JRE's native support.
However, the JRE's regular expressions have a pretty severe problem; they have unbounded (or at least, very, very, bad) execution time for some combinations of data and regex. To cope with this, we ported the Henry Spencer regular expression library (as found in TCL) from C to Java. Thus: https://github.com/basis-technology-corp/tcl-regex-java Is anyone interested in this? Give or take the possible IP muddle of the original C Code, I could grant it easily. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
