Hello U2 Users.
I have been using a UV Basic function I call REGEXP that takes a text stri=
ng and a PERL formatted regular expression and executes a PERL script and =
returns a matched string if found.  The problem is that it can't handle so=
me of the things in strings that are passed to it and PERL bombs.
Because of this, I am in the midst of writing a UV Basic interpreter of PE=
RL regular expressions, which is an interesting challenge.  I checked via =
google search for any such UV Basic program already out there, but found n=
one.  So I am curious to know if anyone has done this, and if so, would ca=
re to share the code.
Thanks to anyone who can assist.
