See the MzScheme documentation:

	http://www.cs.rice.edu/CS/PLT/packages/doc/mzscheme/node115.htm
	Regular Expressions
	MzScheme provides built-in support for regular expression pattern
	matching on strings, implemented by Henry Spencer's package.
	Regular expressions are specified as strings, using the same
	pattern language as the Unix utility egrep. String-based regular
	expressions can be compiled into a regexp value for repeated matches. 

I use it to parse Web pages sucked off the net (using the built-in socket
support). Works great!

p.s. Also, the PLT distribution now includes Shriram Krishnamurthi's networking
utilities in the plt/collects/net/ directory, including some URL & CGI stuff,
and some NNTP, SMTP, & POP3 utilities.
