Re: Ada83 -Booch regular expression

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Unfortunately I've to work with Ada83, so Gnat and Ada95 Booch
components won't do it for me. But I surely will have a try with the
exemple code from Vincent.
By the way, it would be nice if you could keep me up to date on your
online-version of Grady Booches book.

Thanks again.
