[erlang-questions] String handling & regexp

I just read about the two different modes of the code server
(embedded/interactive). This explains why I couldn't see a loaded re
module.
For the list archives: in interactive mode (the default), only some
modules are pre-loaded, and the others are loaded on demand. So they
won't show up in code:all_modules() or in the autocompletion until
they're explicitely used.

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