Re: st: How can I change Stata's regular expression parser to use Perl's parser, so that I can use perl compatible regular expressions (i.e. the same regular expression syntax that I use with Perl)

Dear Nick, many thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and
wrote a state .ado program to call a perl script to perform perl
compatible regular expressions on variables, and generate variables
indicating the results an storing named captures/groups.
In case anyone is interested, the perl script and stata program are at:

Cheers,
