Re: [Haskell-cafe] Non-greedy match in Text.Regx.Posix

* C K Kashyap [2012-07-17 13:31:05+0530]

I was exploring Text.Regex.Posix and found that I was not able to do a non-greedy match by modifying the quantifier with a "?". How can I achieve non-greedy match in Text.Regex.Posix?

POSIX regular expressions semantics doesn't have a notion of a greedy/non-greedy match. Use an engine that implements Perl semantics if you need one. Refer to [1] for more detail.
