AW: Re: Regex help needed...

[Thierry Douez]

There's huge differences in how regex implementations perform in different
> languages. For example: http://raid6.com.au/~onlyjob/posts/arena/

​Last year, I did some experiments:

I had a 100 lines of LiveCode with a bunch of really big Regex.
It took 120 seconds on my Macbook to run.

I tried diffferent ways to write/modify the regex, and it always keep
running
around 120 seconds.


Then, using my sunnYperl external,
I copy/paste all my regex ( not one modification )
and rewrite the LC part in Perl (a bit more work but not that much).

I came down to 9 seconds.

​
Kind regards,

Thierry​
