<<Whoopee!! Every time I worked on a project that had any need for string
handling,
it seemed that the first thing I did was come up with a library of
routines that
simulated SNOBOL-4. Once you've used SNOBOL, you can't help but miss
its string
processing capabilities when you move to other languages!

The GNAT capability is not just a simulation but an exact and complete
copy, with even a reasonable approximation of the SNOBOL-4 syntax. The
code for the pattern matching (about 6000 lines of code with comments)
is a complete pattern matching implementation including recursive
patterns, and dynamic pattern assignment. The code uses the same
algorithm as the pattern matcher I wrote for Macro SPITBOL.
