[Regular expression examples]
----
05Apr03 [Brian Theado] - For XML, I'm guessing the title of this page is referring to one-off regular expressions, but see [http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~cameron/REX.html] for a paper describing shallow parsing of XML using only a regular expression.  The regular expression is about 30 lines long, but the paper documents it well.  The Appendix includes sample implementation in Perl, Javascript and Flex/Lex.  The Appendix also includes an interactive demo (using the Javascript implementation apparently).  The demo helped me understand what they meant by "shallow parsing".  For a Tcl translation, see [XML Shallow Parsing with Regular Expressions].
