Outdated egg!

This is an egg for CHICKEN 4, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 5 version of this egg, if it exists.

If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.

char-set-literals

Description

A reader extension for SRFI 14 character set literals based on that of Gauche. Note that only a subset of that syntax is currently supported (individual characters and character ranges).

Syntax

#[char-set-spec]read

char-set-spec is a sequence of characters to be included in the character set. The following special sequences are supported:

x-y
A range of characters from x to y, inclusive.
\-
The character -
\\
The character \
\]
The character ]

Any other backslash escape sequence is a syntax error.
