Erlang RE is based on PCRE2, so starting with a PCRE tutorial is likely to help understanding of Erlang RE. (I mostly use re via Elixir’s re support, but I have to look at Elixir, Erlang, and PCRE documentation from time to time to understand certain features. Fortunately, it’s all fairly similar to Onigmo, the Ruby re library I’m most familiar with.) -a On Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 5:26 PM Lloyd R.
