pattern matching strings with regexes

[Richard Mortier <Richard.Mortier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i'm getting the vibe off the interwebs that the answer is "no" but i'll ask 
anyway - is there a standard way to do this in ocaml?  something to the effect 
of

match s with
| "[hH]ello world!+" -> do_hello

...etc. hopefully you get the idea :)

would be quite helpful if writing eg., webapps.

if not, anyone any experience with http://mjambon.com/micmatch.html (reference 
manual at http://mjambon.com/mikmatch-manual.html) which looks like it does 
roughly what i'm talking about...

(anil- don't worry, i don't intend to take another syntax extension dependency 
in at this stage, i'm just asking :)
