Hi Terrance
When you define your bank-match package, you want to _use_ cl-ppcre. For example,
(defpackage #:bank-match (:use #:common-lisp #:cl-ppcre))
When you use package A in package B, then the exported symbols of A become available in B.
HTH,

Append :cl-ppcre into the :use list of your DEFPACKAGE line. For instance:
(defpackage :test (:use :cl :cl-ppcre))
Regards.

Your technical question was answered already, but I suspect (I may be wrong, of course) that you make the same mistake many Lisp newbies make - you're confusing packages and systems. A "package" is a first-class Lisp object defined in the ANSI standard. You can read about it here for example:
http://gigamonkeys.com/book/programming-in-the-large-packages-and-symbols.ht...
(Read the whole book if you haven't done so already.)
A "system" (that's a common usage of the name although there's no fixed definition for it) is something that's defined by a defsystem facility like ASDF - it's more or less a collection of source files plus instructions on how they are to be compiled.
Very often there's a system and a package of the same name, like it's the case for CL-PPCRE. That doesn't have to be the case, though. The names could be different, one system could define more than one package or no package at all, you can define a package without defining a system, etc.
HTH, Edi.
I'm partial to the book "Successful Lisp" but neither book covers ASDF. This tutorial was of great help in the past: http://common-lisp.net/~mmommer/asdf-howto.shtml
but it is not quite helping me enough here. In both Case 1 and Case 2 below, my .sbclrc does not change, yet Case 2 works just fine. I would like to be able to do an asdf load on bank-match and have it pull-in cl-ppcre, but as it stands I must manually load it first.
(setf asdf:*central-registry* '( ;; *default-pathname-defaults* ;;; #P"C:\cygwin\home\W049945\prg\lisp-asdf\series-2.2.9\" #P"C:\cygwin\home\W049945\prg\lisp-asdf\cl-ppcre-1.3.2\" #P"C:\cygwin\home\W049945\prg\redick\lisp\" #P"C:\etl\y.com\trunk\zan\approximate-matching\src\lisp\" ))
Case 1: attempt to load cl-ppcre via my defpackage: throw error 'The name "CL-PPCRE" does not designate any package.'
relevant source:
(defpackage :bank-match (:use :cl :asdf :cl-ppcre) )
(in-package :bank-match)
(asdf:defsystem bank-match :description "Approximate bank matching" :author "Terrence M. Brannon" :maintainer "Terrence M. Brannon" :licence "Artistic" :version "1.0" :serial t :components ( (:file "clean") ) )
(progn (declaim (optimize (debug 3) (safety 3))) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'bank-match))
Case 2: load cl-ppcre manually and then attempt to load my bank-match package using a simple asdf call => works just fine symbols: BANK-MATCH::OPTIMIZE, COMMON-LISP:OPTIMIZE
;;;; (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'cl-ppcre) ... ; loading system definition from ; C:\cygwin\home\W049945\prg\lisp-asdf\cl-ppcre-1.3.2\cl-ppcre.asd into ; #<PACKAGE "ASDF0"> ; registering #<SYSTEM :CL-PPCRE {B1BA4C1}> as CL-PPCRE

I'm sure I'm not the first to build a shortcut to make calls to cl-ppcre a bit clearer. I wrote the function re-place() ... note how much clearer crude-hacks2 is compared to crude-hacks
(defun crude-hacks (s) "crude hacks :)" (cl-ppcre:regex-replace "head\s*office" (cl-ppcre:regex-replace "due\s*from" (cl-ppcre:regex-replace "hapoalim\s*branch" s "hapoalim bank") " ") " ") )
(defun re-replace (s replace-list) "input-string replace-list => output-string" (if (null replace-list) s (let* ((replace-expr (car replace-list)) (match (car replace-expr)) (replace (cadr replace-expr)) ) (cl-ppcre:regex-replace match (re-replace s (cdr replace-list)) replace))))
(defun crude-hacks2 (s) (re-replace s '( ("head\s*office" " ") ("due\s*from" " ") ("hapoalim\s*branch" "hapoalim bank") )))

Your system definition for BANK-MATCH must /depend/ on CL-PPCRE:
(asdf:defsystem :bank-match ... :depends-on (:cl-ppcre))
attempt to load cl-ppcre via my defpackage
One day I will write a website about this...
Systems (that's what third-party libraries like ASDF are about) and packages (first-class objects defined by the ANSI standard) are not the same thing, in fact they are orthogonal concepts. You cannot load anything with a DEFPACKAGE form.
