Wow, everyone's a cynic. Did you miss the part about the trigram index? It sounds like you are replying to regexp1.html, not regexp4.html.

- _investigator 15y agoNo. You misread. I love Russ Cox's way of thinking and his continual generosity in sharing his work. I too use the Plan 9 base sed and grep. I'm cynical about the people who rave on about perl/javascript/python/ruby/whatever regexp, who derive some perverse joy in ridiculously complex RE and who often diss sed and all things old school as being slow or deficient in some way.
