Hey Yves, The repository is at https://github.com/sumit0190/regex-stanza The only function implemented so far is capturing text using regex. Considering that I didn't have enough time to thoroughly te

Hey Yves, I had to stop working on my regex package due to a series of unfortunate events, but I am trying to get back into it now. My current package (which is on gitHub) only has a regex 'match' fun

Great write up Patrick! For me, the type-system took a little getting used to (and in my very first programs, I struggled to even find uses for it), but once I got the hang of it I was pleasantly surp

I am curious then: what is the most efficient way to parse a CSV file? If you have a file-handle, read each line sequentially and then split by the given delimiter, it would require only one pass. Als

A little off-topic: I haven't had the chance to look at your code yet, and it's been a while since I looked at the doc page, but does Stanza have a method to split strings by the specified character?

Awesome work Jake! Apart from detecting the delimiter automatically, it might also be nice to have a way to let the user specify the delimiter (so it would really be an ASV parser instead of a CSV par

This is super helpful. Thanks Patrick!

In my experience while implementing the regex library, I never really felt the need for LoStanza to be able to model all of the C behavior that I was working on. As long as I could share objects and t

Thanks for the quick response Patrick. I did initially think it might have something to do with the notation being used inside LoStanza, and I remember trying a bunch of things out, but in the end I g

Hey all, http://pastebin.com/geypFC8K I stumbled across this as I was developing my regex library. Me and Jake discussed this briefly on the IRC channel but we didn't really get anywhere. The brief su

My bad; I knew those were just functions (strong OOP background can have you labeling everything a constructor), but I didn't consider using String(ptr) at all. The error wasn't particularly helpful e

I think this is the same James who also maintains the Vim syntax plugin for Stanza, correct?

Neat! I wrote a small syntax file for Vim which sucks but gets the job done for me. Yet to try out Howl.

@Jake: Thanks for your response (and sorry for posting the question on the channel and then disappearing; I quit accidentally). @Patrick: Jake's suggestion worked wonderfully: I knew I it must have be

Maybe I am missing something in the documentation, but I couldn't find an answer to this so I guess I'll just post it here. So I wrote a bunch of functions in C with signatures such as this: somestruc

Thanks for the tip. The reason I asked the question in the first place is because having a library binding for a feature like this, which is usually bundled within the language as a module/package/lib

I have used PCRE in several projects before and so I have a decent amount of experience with it; maybe this weekend I'll hack something real quick and put it out there so others can contribute as well

What would be the 'best' way to implement regex support in Stanza? Do we want something written in native code, or can we just cook up some bindings for PCRE (which is how R does it, if I am not wrong
