Hi, Yes, Pharo regex implementation is very naive. We will be moving to a PCRE binding to match outside world standards but we have not had the time to work on it :( Esteban

Hi,
I just noticed that the Pharo regexes do not understand non-greedy matches. A regex engine to be PCRE is kind of essential, not having '.*?' to be a parseable and working regex is a bummer. Are there any more powerful regex engines around for Pharo? I could not find any.
Cheers, Manuel
