regex
regex is a regular expression toolkit for regex-base with:
- a text-replacement toolkit with type-safe text-replacement templates;
- special datatypes for matches and captures;
- compile-time checking of RE syntax;
- a unified means of controlling case-sensitivity and multi-line options;
- high-level AWK-like tools for building text processing apps;
- the option of using match operators with reduced polymorphism on the
text and result types;
- regular expression macros including:
- a number of useful RE macros;
- a test bench for testing and documenting new macro environments;
- built-in support for the TDFA and PCRE back ends;
- comprehensive documentation, tutorials and copious examples.
See the About page for details.

needed for the PCRE back end
- the

and example programs.
