Using regex (Regular Expressions) in Parenscript

Question

I am trying out Parenscript. While trying to experiment with regex function, I get unexpected output. for example, the reference manual shows:

(regex \"foobar\")         


        

Answer 1

In a SBCL read-eval-print-loop:

CL-USER> (in-package "PS")
#

PS> (ps (regex "foobar"))
"/foobar/;"

PS> (in-package "CL-USER")
#

cl-user> (ps:ps (ps:regex "foobar"))
"/foobar/;"

PS:PS is the Parenscript compiler as a macro operator.
