[PLUG] regex

[Jeff Abrahamson <jeff@purple.com>]

I want to extract the comments from a pdf.  I know how to do it (in an
ugly way) with perl, if I assume no comment contains a
close-parenthesis.  I know how to do it with lex if I don't make that
assumption, but I chose to make that assumption to avoid writing a
lexer. ;-)

I'm curious if anyone knows an easier way than the above.  The problem
is solved for this time, but I'd like to be more elegant about it next
time if I can.  These are the comments that show up as yellow
highlights that you have to click on in acrobat reader but that xpdf
doesn't seem to know how to display.
