One short question.

Which Regular Expression Engine will be used in the Ruby 1.8.3 release (Is it still the old one or Onigurama
2.4.*)?

Onigurama would be fine - I don't talk here about the exotic usages of recursive calls - simply the look
behind patterns are very useful an not implemented in the old engine.

One short thanks for the information.

In addition I have to excuse me for using always the wrong word 'Onigurama'. Meanwhile I recognized, that the
correct name is 'Oniguruma' (unfortunately my knowlede about the japanese language is somehow 10e-20% - I am
even a bad Go-player).

Best regards, Wolfgang

An understandable and common error.

Just remember you can't spell "Oniguruma" without "guru." ;)


Cheers,
