Posix Reg-Ex To Prosite Pattern Syntax

Question

[Dorota]

Dear all,

I am wondering if anybody has implemented a parser that converts ELM pattern (POSIX) syntax to this supported by PROSITE (I need to use PDBeMotif tool)? Sharing it with me would save a few hours of work.

Thanks! Dorota

Well my Googling finds plenty of tools to convert a PROSITE pattern into a POSIX or Perl regular express, but nothing going the other way. It may be worth asking the ELM (http://elm.eu.org/) folks if they are aware of any tools to do this (pointing them at this question so they can provide feedback of course). Alternatively if you have implemented your own solution it would be great if you shared it.
