golang-pkg-pcre

This is a Go language package providing Perl-Compatible RegularExpression support using libpcre++. Install the package with the current Debian distribution as follows:

sudo apt-get install libpcre++-dev
go get github.com/glenn-brown/golang-pkg-pcre/src/pkg/pcre

Go programs that depend on this package should import this package as follows to allow automatic downloading:

import "github.com/glenn-brown/golang-pkg-pcre/src/pkg/pcre"

This is a clone of golang-pkg-pcre by Florian Weimer, which has been placed on github so it can be fetched by Go's automatic package installer. The FindIndex() and ReplaceAll() functions were added by Glenn Brown, to mimic functions in Go's default regexp package.
