The awk macro from Scsh [Shivers06]. In addition to awk, the Scsh-compatible procedures match:start, match:end, match:substring, and regexp-exec are defined. These match: procedures must be used to extract match information in a regular expression clause when using the => form.

procedure

(match:start rec [which])  exact-nonnegative-integer?

  rec : ....
  which : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0

procedure

(match:end rec [which])  exact-nonnegative-integer?

  rec : ....
  which : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0

procedure

(match:substring rec [which])  string?

  rec : ....
  which : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0
Extracts a start position, end position, or substring corresponding to a match. The first argument is the value supplied to the procedure after => in a awk clause or the result of regexp-exec.

procedure

(regexp-exec re s)  (or/c .... false/c)

  re : (or/c string? regexp?)
  s : string?
Matches a regexp to a string, returning a record compatible with match:start, etc.
