[Chicken-users] string-search vs. string-match

[Dan]

Hi folks,

I thought string-match (in unit regex) was supposed to
match a regexp at the beginning of a string, while
string-search would *search* for that regexp. At least
that's what the manual seems to say. But

csi> (string-match (regexp "(a*)(b*)") "xxaabb")
("" "" "")
csi> (string-search (regexp "(a*)(b*)") "xxaabb")
("" "" "")
csi> (string-search (regexp "(a*)(b*)") "aabb")
("aabb" "aa" "bb")

(this is still in Chicken 2.41, and I see 2.5 is out,
so this may already be fixed)
