"recursive" regex match?

[Petr Tomasek <tomasek etf cuni cz>]

Hi!

I tried to make a "recursive" regexp using the g_regexp_* functions,
i.e. something like:

 regex = g_regex_new ("^\\s*(?:(shift|ctrl|alt)-)*([a-z])\\s*$", G_REGEX_CASELESS|G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE, 0, NULL);

But when doing g_regex_match() together with g_match_info_fetch_all() I only get the
first occurence of the string matche by "(...)*". In PCRE / php, for example, such a
regex is matched recursivelly (i.e. the number of matched substring is dependent on the 
matched string). Can something like this be done in glib or is this feature missing?

Thank You!
