Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) is a library written in C, which implements a regular expression engine, inspired by the capabilities of the Perl programming language. Philip Hazel started writing PCRE in summer 1997. [3]
Raku rules are the regular expression, string matching and general-purpose parsing facility of the Raku programming language, and are a core part of the language. Since Perl's pattern-matching constructs have exceeded the capabilities of formal regular expressions for some time, Raku documentation refers to them exclusively as regexes, distancing the term from the formal definition.
The primary regex crate does not allow look-around expressions. There is an Oniguruma binding called onig that does. SAP ABAP: SAP.com: Proprietary: Tcl: tcl.tk: Tcl/Tk License (BSD-style) Tcl library doubles as a regular expression library.

The regular expressions of PCRE are compatible with Perl's. Embedded source code does not constitute a "regular expression pattern". 70.20.145.231 19:57, 26 November 2005 (UTC) No, they're not entirely exactly compatible. Embedded Perl source code is considered part of the regular expression in Perl. PCRE will always do things that Perl can't ...
The Perl language includes a specialized syntax for writing regular expressions (RE, or regexes), and the interpreter contains an engine for matching strings to regular expressions. The regular-expression engine uses a backtracking algorithm, extending its capabilities from simple pattern matching to string capture and substitution. The regular ...
Different syntaxes for writing regular expressions have existed since the 1980s, one being the POSIX standard and another, widely used, being the Perl syntax. Regular expressions are used in search engines, in search and replace dialogs of word processors and text editors, in text processing utilities such as sed and AWK, and in lexical ...
RE2 performs comparably to Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE). For certain regular expression operators like | (the operator for alternation or logical disjunction) it is superior to PCRE. Unlike PCRE, which supports features such as lookarounds, backreferences and recursion, RE2 is only able to recognize regular languages due to its ...
