The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
I also found this out some time ago (see other postings regarding
regex), and it should encourage everyone to stay away from it on
iSeries. Regex is only a valuable function if it would be available in
its most complete form (also see what other systems offer regarding the
"greedy" concept).
Hence for trivial things as splitting a line, one can better write its
own procedure.
Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: Re: regexec - chopping a large text string into chunks
Perhaps IBM's biggest crime in this situation is it's HORRIBLE
documentation. The docs say NOTHING about what is and is not supported
in their regcomp() API. The only thing I can find in the docs is this:
"The functions regcomp(), regerror(), regexec(), and regfree() use
regular expressions in a similar way to the UNIX(r) awk, ed, grep, and
egrep commands."
