Hi all,

exit's any PL/1, z/OS, LE Runtime routine for regular expressions?

After some searching / asking google, I think, the answer is no?!

regards,
bauer

bauer,

AFAIK Regular expressions are not supported by most of mainframe languages. However I guess you can code a C or C++ routines which can use regular expressions with Posix and call it from PLI

Here is an example of using regular expressions in C.

Here is an example of PLI main module calling C++ subroutine

Hi kolusu,

thank you for your reply. I will check, if it's possible to link c and pl/1 object code together to one load module, I never saw a link jcl in my company to do this.

And also to check: Is it a good idea to link c routines and PL/1 in our environment.
