[Gambas-user] using Perl to do regexes in Gambas

[Rob]

I wrote a simple proof of concept of a (theoretically) reusable Gambas class 
that appears to the user to implement Perl regular expression matching, and a 
demo form with which you can try it out.  It does this Perl stuff, 
conveniently enough, by EXEC'ing perl and passing stuff through it.  I 
wouldn't recommend using it for big jobs because there's obviously a lot of 
overhead, but I think it could be a good prototype of an eventual Gambas 
regular expression class and let's face it, there are some times when you 
just want to write http://[^\s">]+ rather than 15 lines of code ;)
