Hello Guile People
Is there a way to make Guile regular expressions less greedy? I
understand that POSIX doesn't define non-greedy modifiers.
Specifically, I'm trying to parse font names such as
Arial 12
Arial Bold Italic 14
Nimbus Sans L Bold Italic Condensed 11
so that I can construct CSS styles from them.
I've tried the following, but the first (.*) gobbles up everything
before the size because the other elements are optional:
(define s (string-match "(.*)( +(bold|semi-bold|regular|light))?(
+(italic|oblique))?( +(condensed))? +([0-9]+)" "nimbus sans l bold
italic condensed 11"))
Are there other ways of doing this?
cheers
Chris
