<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div>We're attempting to port a large collection of PCRE patterns into Ragel. Most of the patterns are very straightforward, but a number of them use the \b directive (zero-width, non-word char followed by word char or vise-versa). For example "my.*\btest" should match "my first test", but *not* "my shortest". I'm sure we could handle this on a case-by-case basis, but I was wondering if anyone has an easy conversion.</div>
