| 2026-03-01 13:46:20 +0100 | <__monty__> | It's such a kludge "An empty character class doesn't make any sense so the closing character can occur in the first position without ambiguity." |

| 2026-03-01 11:46:50 +0100 | <mauke> | it's so much cleaner |

| 2026-03-01 11:46:22 +0100 | <mauke> | I don't necessarily need PCRE behavior, just perl-style syntax |
| 2026-03-01 11:46:01 +0100 | <probie> | If you want PCRE behaviour, use one of the PCRE libraries |

| 2026-03-01 11:45:07 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | Yes this unescaped ] as first char is crazy. It screams syntax error in my view :D |
| 2026-03-01 11:42:26 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | opqdonut: Thank you very much, your insight helped me to see my wrong assumption |
| 2026-03-01 11:42:02 +0100 | <mauke> | I'm not saying you shouldn't use it, I'm just saying that posix regex syntax is bizarre :-) |
| 2026-03-01 11:41:41 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | mauke: so I should not use TDFA? which lib then? |
| 2026-03-01 11:40:27 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | mauke: True, I was in implicit haskell context |
| 2026-03-01 11:40:27 +0100 | <mauke> | that is, posix is fine with []\-], but in Haskell you need to write it as "[]\\-]" |
| 2026-03-01 11:40:02 +0100 | <mauke> | \ must be escaped in Haskell strings, but does not need to be escaped in [ ] |
| 2026-03-01 11:39:40 +0100 | <opqdonut> | yep, pretty trippy |
| 2026-03-01 11:39:32 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | ] must be first - must be last, \ must be escaped and ^ must not be first |
| 2026-03-01 11:39:11 +0100 | <mauke> | this is why every regex library written after ~2000 ignores posix and just does what perl does |

| 2026-03-01 11:38:59 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | Lets say I need to also include literals - ^ \ then it should look like "[]a-z^\\-]" |
| 2026-03-01 11:37:42 +0100 | <opqdonut> | regex(7) says: To include a literal ']' in the list, make it the first character |
| 2026-03-01 11:36:58 +0100 | <opqdonut> | regex-tdfa says it implements posix extended regexes, which need []a] |
| 2026-03-01 11:36:44 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | You are right using ^$ produces False. Now it all makes sense |
| 2026-03-01 11:35:53 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | Yeah..probably I am going to test ^$ |
| 2026-03-01 11:35:28 +0100 | <opqdonut> | I think what might be happening is that "a]a" =~ "[a\\]]{1,3}" is really matching "[a]]{1,3}", that is, "a]" |
| 2026-03-01 11:35:12 +0100 | <Milan_Vanca> | Yeah I think I see now. |
