Hi,
Normally I would tend to think, that I am
quite familiar with regex and their usage
(background: UNIX?Linux, sed, vi/vim, Perl...)
Then I played a little with regex-match...and
I have to go to school again..,,
>From the Racket guide:
> (regexp-match #rx"([a-z ]+;)*" "lather; rinse; repeat;")
'("lather; rinse; repeat;" " repeat;")
[a-z ]: matches one lowercase character of the range of a-z and the #\space
+ : the above one ore more times
; : followed by a ';'
() : all the above grouped
* : 0 or more times
seems obvious..
But the result is not (at least for me... ;)
'("lather; rinse; repeat;" " repeat;")
I understand "lather; rinse; repeat;" as match -
it reflects the "greedy behaviour" of regex.
But " repeat;" ???
Why not "rinse; repeat;" then???
I am buffled...<scratching my head>
(help!)+
:)
(Thank you)+ (much)+ in advance!
Cheers
Meino
