Edgar,

Sorry for the delay.  Busy lives..


I found https://github.com/garduino/Cuis-Smalltalk-RegEx but this code is very old and simply loaded fails most test cases (see notes below).

The Cuis-Smalltalk-RegEx code definitely signals an error for the example you site, even though
  RegEx-Core RxParser DOCUMENTATION c:syntax:
description would appear to support this use case.


What source of RegEx are you using?  Is there a Cuis Package available?


Note that I have zero experience with this package but am happy to help out as I get time.

Best wishes,

https://github.com/garduino/Cuis-Smalltalk-RegEx notes:

1) Needs requirements (tests should require core should require Squeak compatibility).

2) Line endings should be newLines.

3) Needs added compatibility methods, e.g.:

'
Array>>contains: other

        ^ self includes: other
'

'
Character>>sameAs: otherChar
        "Case independent compare"

        (self class) = (otherChar class) ifFalse: [ ^ false ].

        ^(self asLowercase) = (otherChar asLowercase)
'
