New issue 3254 by [hidden email]: [Repackage] "Regular expressions"  
should be well structured
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3254

Pharo 1.2a 12235:

I now reorganized the regular expression package:
  - tests are now in 'Regex-Tests-Core' (closer to the code than in
    the general Test package)
  - categories now start with 'Regex-...' instead of 'VB-Regex-...'
    (so nobody should think its a port from VisualBasic ;)
  - there was an RxParser "Documentation" method category
    => this has been converted to a help book
  - missing class comments were added and the note regarding
    the specific Documentation method category was removed

Install the two changesets.

After that you should have:
  - a new "Regex-Core" package
  - a changed package "Tests" since tests are now repackaged close to the  
code
  - a new "Regex-Help" package  => this has to be SAVED
  - a "Regex-Tests-Help" package  => this has to be SAVED
  - the package "VB-Regex" is obsolete then

After loading the slice one should also evaluate:

Smalltalk organization removeSystemCategory: 'VB-Regex'.
Smalltalk organization removeSystemCategory: 'VB-Regex-Exceptions'.
Smalltalk organization sortCategories.

to remove the obsolete empty categories

Please note that this package is coming from VisualWorks and in the past 10  
years there were new improved versions released every couple of years. Also  
note that Pharo is already behind the latest ported and improved code  
available in <http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/unsorted/>.

So "well structuring" the package likely does not do much good in this  
situation. Maybe it would be better to remove the code from Pharo-Core and  
just load it in Pharo.

no, don't remove it from the core.
I'm using it for Editor cleaning and improvements.
a repackaging problem is not a good reason to remove a package from the  
core.

We should merge the versions of lukas then.
I agree with you alain we want regex to be used to simply a lot of old code.
