I have positive experiences with regex-compat, regex-posix packages, you can get these from hackage. When your expression becomes more complicated it may be worth to use parsers instead: faster processing, refactoring parsers is also easier. On Thu, Dec 6, 2018 at 2:45 PM David McBride wrote:

In Haskell virtually everyone uses parser combinator libraries like parsec, megaparsec, or attoparsec depending on their needs.

Many people ask this question and are then disappointed when they can't find a definitively standard regex library to use. That's because they are barely needed.

That's not to say that there are no such libraries There are. But I personally couldn't suggest any as I have not been compelled to use one in many years.

Hi,

Which package is the most popular and/or easy to used for dealing with regular expressions? My regex is quite simple and I just need to get 2 or 3 capture groups from the result.

Many thanks
