- Abstract:
-
A SNOBOL4 like pattern data type and pattern matching operation were introduced to the Unicon language in 2005, but patterns were not integrated with the Unicon string scanning control structure and hence, the SNOBOL style patterns were not adopted as part of the language at that time. The goal of this project is to make the pattern data type accessible to the Unicon string scanning control structure and vice versa; and also make the pattern operators and functions lexically consistent with Unicon. To accomplish these goals, a Unicon string matching operator was changed to allow the execution of a pattern match in the anchored mode, pattern matching unevaluated expressions were revised to handle complex string scanning functions, and the pattern matching lexemes were revised to be more consistent with the Unicon language.
