imageboards

Hey ^EXPERT _PROGRAMMERS
I want to make something that'll archive the imageboards I want. I know the text field is limited to 2000 characters, but what about the name/mail/subject ones? Oh, and how does it work with unicode characters?

Oh no, it's not off-topic at all. I started this thread because of the /a/rchive, so if it'll be online again, I won't have to make something by myself.

>>29
I did that. I guess I'll have to fix my question once again.

use a regex to grab the contents and attributes of the OP, and a different regex to grab the rest of the posts
I said:
I know I can use them to find all substrings where the RE matches, but is that all?

I wanted to know if there's some fancy method in which I give the regex and the string as arguments and it doesn't return me a list of substrings that match the RE, but rather a list of tuples with values grabbed from the substrings.
I mean, if I got a regex "ab.c" and gave it a string "jf3ab9casabrtfdabecdf" it would return [ 9, 'e' ].
