Original bug ID: 2430
Reporter: administrator
Status: closed
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: feature
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

Full_Name: Per Larsson
Version: 3.07+
OS: linux
Submission from: 1-1-8-41a.ens.sth.bostream.se (82.182.158.5)

I miss the very convenient character set difference operation in ocamllex
regular expressions, e.g.
let printable = ['\032'-'\126' '\160'-'\255']
let string = '"' (printable # ['"'])+ '"'

This operation is present in newer lex implementations (e.g. java "jflex" and
haskell "alex") and is more general and therefore more useful than the charset
complement operation (the construction [^...] can remain as syntactic sugar for
_#[...])

Seems quite easy and may be useful, I add it.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Easy, may not exactly be what user wants though.
