compiled regex and ends-with

[jopython]

Is it possible to use compiled regex with the ends-with function?

Code Select Expand


(set 'dt (regex-comp {(w+)}))

(ends-with "delta" dt 0x10000)  => ERR: regular expression in function ends-with : "error -4 when executing"

ends-with will not work with compiled regex patterns because it internally appends a $ (end of text) character to the pattern. If the pattern is already compiled that causes an error. But starts-with and others will work, as they do not change the pattern internally.



This will be added to the documentation.

Thank you Lutz. newLisp has one of the best documentation for any Lisps I have seen around.
