]> Now I'm stuck again. I'm revising the lexical analyzer for my compiler to enable it to recognize escaped strings, with conventions different from OCaml's. Currently, I'm using this regex: '\'' ("\\\\"|"\\'"|[^'\''])* '\'' in an attempt to recognize strings that begin and end with single quotes, but may possibly include sequences like \' that represent escaped quotes, and '\\' that represent escaped backslashes. Of course, this doesn't work, as I lately realized, because this string: '\\' '\\' looks like I'm escaping the second quote, so I wind up with an empty token. Any hints on how I'd go about doing this sort of thing? ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
