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

That makes sense Thomas - problem is though that I suspect even if you get it going it will be slower than Christmas.

Do the PHP or Python variants have what you want?

There’s an interesting piece on implementing at least negative versions here http://yacsharpblog.blogspot.ca/2008/09/regular-expressions-in-c-negative-look.html - don’t know if that helps.

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.

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/
