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

Thanks Roman, I guess I better invest my time in Parsec then :) Regards, Kashyap On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 5:05 PM, Roman Cheplyaka wrote:

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.
