<BR>
The <TT>str</TT> library provides high-level string processing functions,
some based on regular expressions. It is intended to support the kind
of file processing that is usually performed with scripting languages
such as <TT>awk</TT>, <TT>perl</TT> or <TT>sed</TT>.<BR>
<BR>
Programs that use the <TT>str</TT> library must be linked as follows:
<PRE>
ocamlc <I>other options</I> str.cma <I>other files</I>
ocamlopt <I>other options</I> str.cmxa <I>other files</I>
</PRE>
For interactive use of the <TT>str</TT> library, do:
<PRE>
ocamlmktop -o mytop str.cma
./mytop
</PRE>
or (if dynamic linking of C libraries is supported on your platform),
start <TT>ocaml</TT> and type <TT>#load "str.cma";;</TT>.<BR>
