Changes for version 1.51 - 1999-02-13

  • Fixed bugs in prefix matching in extract_variable:
    • incorrectly used default if '' specified
    • now handles $#array correctly
  • Fixed bugs in extract_codeblock:
    • Now handles !~ properly
    • Now handles embedded comments better.
    • Now handles "raw" pattern matches better.
  • Added support for single strings or qr's as 'reject' and 'ignore' args to extract_tagged()
  • Added gen_extract_tagged() to "precompile" a specific tag extractor for repeated use (approximately 3 times faster!)
