Re: Bulk source search ignoring commented-out code (iSphere special?)

Hi Jon,

I assume that Scott uses the regular expression functions of the IBM i C
library. That is what I do at the moment. The problem is that the IBM
regular expression functions do not support look-ahead and look-behind,
which were required for solving the "bulk source search" problem.

That is why I thought about to use the GNU library before I noticed that
this library does not support look-ahead and look-behind, too.

Thomas.

Why not just call the library function from RPG Thomas - why bother with Perl?

Scott has an example program here:

Hi Buck,

Is it possible to call Perl from RPG? I have to call the regex function
for each line of a source member!

I am open for any suggestions how to get look-ahead/look-behind to the
IBM i and integrated into the iSphere plug-in. The problem is, that I
need to call regcomp() and regexec() from a RPG module. So the functions
must be provided by a service program that I can bind to the FNDSTR
service program.

Hi Thomas,
I am quite busy at work and have not completed my research. I was
looking at Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) http://www.pcre.org/
