See this tutorial for some example of usage : http://www.serpentine.com/blog/2007/02/27/a-haskell-regular-expression-tutor...
Am I missing something, or Text.Regex.Posix no more ships with Haskell, particularly 6.12.1 version?
You didn't miss anything (I think it was even true with 6.10), that is because the GHC developers have decided to get out of the library business. In other words they decided to restrain themselves to the absolute core of the Haskell libraries necessary to get GHC running and nothing else. So, what should an Haskell developer do, when he don't absolutely need the _latest_ GHC release, the _latest_ libraries in all domain, and so on ? The Haskell Platform is the project that is supposed to replace the old big GHC release from the past, with regular releases of an integrated package with a stable and useful library set and a compiler version that are supposed to work nicely together : http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/ _This_ is what most Haskell developer should use, especially if they're beginners ! It contains regex-posix and regex-base (which is the common interface of most regex-* package, regex-pcre included). -- Jedaï
