PGE::Text::bracketed added to PGE

2005-10-18 Thread Patrick R. Michaud
I've just added a subrule to PGE, which is roughly analogous to the "bracketed" function in Perl 5's Text::Balanced. Like most PGE subrules, PGE::Text::bracketed can be called as a subrule in a rule expression or directly via a subroutine call. Thus, to extract quote-delimited text from a stri

For starters, it gives you a libparrot which doesn't have any external dependencies. Much nicer, if only aesthetically. Nick On 10/18/05, Joshua Hoblitt via RT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chip, > > Looks like a design call.
