Hello... We are currently debating as to use EuRegExp from The Archive by Christian Cuvier or wrapping PCRE. I am looking for input. I did a *very* simple test and it seems that EuRegExp is about 7 times slower than PCRE wrapped in Euphoria (I used the Archive contribution titled "Pattern Matching" by Karl Bochert). It, however, integrates better with Euphoria, is 100% Euphoria code and therefore would not cause any binary changes or runtime dependencies. Does anyone have more experience with EuRegExp or PCRE? Please give your opinion. -- Jeremy Cowgar http://jeremy.cowgar.com

I'd be happy if it becomes 3x slower only. This is very old code, and the amount of feedback I got was so limited that I hardly have worked on it for years. When win32lib 0.70.4a is released, I can look into it and start speeding things up. CChris
