Which programming languages support posix-based regular expressions?

I know about re module in Python but it does not follow posix standard and PHP has removed ereg. Is there any library in any language which supports that? I think the closest is regex library in Java. Anyone knows about another? What would be the closest to use regular expressions such as those used in egrep in linux?

Solution

  • You should try regex library in python i think you can get posix-based regular expressions if you use POSIX flag. Here some documentation https://pypi.python.org/pypi/regex/
