 }

DESCRIPTION

Experimental ...

This module is regexps for some things related to Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences

http://oeis.org

See Regexp::Common for basic operation of Regexp::Common.

Patterns

$RE{OEIS}{anum}

Regexp for an OEIS A-number, either 6 or 7 digits

    A000040
    A0234567

The -keep option captures are

    $1    whole string "A000040"
    $2    number part "000040"

A minimum of 6 digits are required, so for example "A123" is not an A-number.

As of Nov 2013 there are about 230,000 A-numbers in use so 6 digits suffice. Rumour has it the plan is to go 7 digits when a million sequences is reached. The regexp here anticipates that.
