Info About SB RegEx Library

Post by Tristano »

Hi Fred,

I wanted to ask you whether SpiderBasic RegEx library is fully PCRE compatibly, or whether it uses another flavor.

Is SB using the PCRE library (i.e. ported from C to JS via cross compilers) for the sake of code compatibility with PB? or is it just using JavaScript's native RegExs as defined by the ECMA-262 standard? or some other third party library (e.g. XRegExp)?

I'm working on an HTML based tutorial for PCRE, so I need to know if SB is a viable tool for providing interactive examples.

Thanks,

Tristano
