[erlang-questions] Erlang regex

[Pablo Polvorin]

Hello,
instead of regular expression, I would suggest to use pattern matching instead:
1> A = <<"OK 01 xxxxxxxx\r\n">>.
<<"OK 01 xxxxxxxx\r\n">>
2> <<"OK 01",X/binary>> = A.
<<"OK 01 xxxxxxxx\r\n">>
3> X.
<<" xxxxxxxx\r\n">>

besides that, if what you are parsing is some sort of network
protocol, you won't want to represent strings as lists(), but use
binaries like in the previous example.
