Documentation

Olin Shivers proposed a "100% solution" for working with regular expressions in Scheme. His solution was only implemented in SCSH. The scsh-regexp egg is a port of Olin's SRE package to other Schemes (currently Chicken and SISC).

The SRE package has two main features: the SRE notation (a Scheme s-expression representation of regular expression strings) and a regexp API. scsh-regexp does not yet support the SRE notation, but implements most of the regexp API (specifically, posix-string->regexp, regexp?, regexp-search, match:start, match:end, match:count, match:substring, match:prefix, match:suffix, match:regexp-for-each, regexp-substitute, regexp-substitute/global, let-match, if-match)

The project homepage contains more details and examples, including information on how to use the package in other Schemes.
