Hi,

three things, I suppose, already established in releases but not documented:

-- regexp support -- string comparison -- `page' modifier for \pdfliteral

Experimental?

* regexp: yes There are some todos, last summer I have experimented with pcre, this would add more features, but the syntax will probably changed. Also a "replace" would be useful. * string comparison The open issue was that it would be nicer and more TeX like if \pdfstrcmp would act as readonly integer register than returning the result numbers as string. As readonly register you can safely write: \ifcase\pdfstrcmp{a}{a}1\or 2\fi The result would be "1". Currenty \pdfstrcmp expands to "0" and \ifcase then sees "01\or...", the result is "2". Therefore it is probably to implement it as readonly integer or decide not to do thus before documenting. * \pdfliteral with `page'? I don't know this feature. Yours sincerely Heiko --
