[erlang-questions] String handling & regexp

[Olivier Pernet]

Neat! But...
I'm running R12-4, and looking at the
/usr/local/lib/erlang/releases/R12B/start.script I can see the re
module. But it doesn't seem to be accessible from the erl prompt, even
though application:which_applications() lists stdlib as started. I'm
confused...

echo '16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D4D465452snlbxq'|dc
