Re: [Bug-apl] Regex support

[Elias Mårtenson]

I did not know this. I took a look at Dyalog's API and it's not possible to implement it fully, as it relies on their object oriented features. However, the basic functionality wouldn't be hard to replicate, if that is something that is desired.

Jürgen, what is your opinion on this?

FYI Dyalog has operators ⎕S (search) and ⎕R (replace) which are implemented with PCRE:

└───┴───┘
