Hi,<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Here is officially the proposal for library functions for searching and handling of binaries.<br><br>I have been told that it is better to have many smaller EEPS than a large EEP trying to cover everything. In that spirit this EEP does not include any suggestions which would require changes to the compiler, although several such changes has been suggested to me. There is plenty of material for future EEPs with pattern matching and regular expressions combined, for instance. There is probably also room for further EEP:s on efficient transformation of binaries, e.g. for writing encryption algorithms or codecs.<br>
<br>The main focus of this EEP, however, is the introduction of efficient search functions for binaries, including regular expressions. Also included are a number of support functions for binaries discussed on the erlang mailing list over the years.<br>
