Overview

Package regexlib is an example of how to make a go library for lua. It allows using Go regular expressions in Lua code. To use in a runtime r, add the following Go code:

regexlib.LibLoader.Run(r)

Then in Lua code e.g.

regex = require"regex"
ptn = regex.new("[0-9]+")
match = ptn:find("hello there 123 yippee")

var LibLoader = packagelib.Loader{
	Load: load,
	Name: "regex",

LibLoader defines the name of the package and how to load it. Given a runtime r, call:

regexlib.LibLoader.Run(r)

To load the package into the runtime (note that packagelib needs to be loaded first).
