(* Compile a regular expression. The syntax for regular expressions

is the same as in Gnu Emacs. The special characters are
|

|
|
[$^.*+?[]\]. The following constructs are recognized:
|
||
|
|
- [. ] matches any character except newline
|
||
|
|
- [* ] (postfix) matches the previous expression zero, one or
|
||
|
|
several times
|
||
|
|
- [+ ] (postfix) matches the previous expression one or
|
||
|
|
several times
|
||
|
|
- [? ] (postfix) matches the previous expression once or
|
||
|
|
not at all
|
||
|
|
- [[..] ] character set; ranges are denoted with [-], as in [a-z];
|
||
|
|
an initial [^], as in [^0-9], complements the set
|
||
|
|
- [^ ] matches at beginning of line
|
||
|
|
- [$ ] matches at end of line
|
||
|
|
- [\| ] (infix) alternative between two expressions
|
||
|
|
- [\(..\)] grouping and naming of the enclosed expression
|
||
|
|
- [\1 ] the text matched by the first [\(...\)] expression
|
||
|
|
([\2] for the second expression, etc)
|
||
|
|
- [\b ] matches word boundaries
|
||
|
|
- [\ ] quotes special characters. *)
