Hello, I have tryed to use the regexp library, but I had some problem.

ORIGIN '~beta/basiclib/current/regexp'
---program:descriptor---

(# something: ^text;
   do
   Loop:
    (# do getLine -> something[];
          (if 'Test:'->something.regexp_match  
			then 'Yes, I found Test: at the Beginning of
                              the line' -> putLine;
                        else '.' -> put;
          if);
         restart Loop
    #)
#)

So, I wanted to search the input stream (something that comes throug
a Unix pipe | ) and I wanted to find a line that starts with "Test:".
But it doesn't work.
I also tryed to use virtuell binding, but it seems that the do part
was not executed.
(I used the following line to test myprog:
cat textfile | myprog
where textfile is a file with several lines, one contains "Test: this is it"
and myprog is the executable file, compiled from the above example)

Help me please!
