--  Simple Regular expression matching

--  This package provides a simple implementation of a regular expression

--  pattern matching algorithm, using a subset of the syntax of regular

--  expressions copied from familiar Unix style utilities.

--  See file s-regexp.ads for full documentation of the interface

-- Summary of Pattern Matching Packages in GNAT Hierarchy --

------------------------------------------------------------

--  There are three related packages that perform pattern matching functions.

--  the following is an outline of these packages, to help you determine

--  which is best for your needs.

--     GNAT.Regexp (files g-regexp.ads/s-regexp.ads/s-regexp.adb)

--       This is a simple package providing Unix-style regular expression

--       matching with the restriction that it matches entire strings. It

--       is particularly useful for file name matching, and in particular

--       it provides "globbing patterns" that are useful in implementing

--       unix or DOS style wild card matching for file names.

--     GNAT.Regpat (files g-regpat.ads/s-regpat.ads/g-regpat.adb)

--       This is a more complete implementation of Unix-style regular

--       expressions, copied from the original V7 style regular expression

--       library written in C by Henry Spencer. It is functionally the

--       same as this library, and uses the same internal data structures

--       stored in a binary compatible manner.

--     GNAT.Spitbol.Patterns (files g-spipat.ads/g-spipat.adb)

--       This is a completely general pattern matching package based on the

--       pattern language of SNOBOL4, as implemented in SPITBOL. The pattern

--       language is modeled on context free grammars, with context sensitive

--       extensions that provide full (type 0) computational capabilities.
