[erlang-questions] String handling & regexp

[Edwin Fine]

Well, it's in R12B-3, and here's part of my session:

14> {ok, RE} = re:compile("^ *(\\d{4})/(\\d{1,2})/(\\d{1,2})
*$").
{ok,{re_pattern,3,0,
                <<69,82,67,80,103,0,0,0,16,0,0,0,5,0,0,0,3,0,0,0,0,0,47,
                  ...>>}}
15> re:run("2008/09/14", RE, [{capture, all_but_first,
list}]).
{match,["2008","09","14"]}

All I did from the command line was type in erl, nothing else.
