Yes.
The pattern matching sub-language in SNOBOL was expanded and generalised to become one of the core concepts in Icon. I take it you know SNOBOL?

9 out of 10
which would be impressive if I hadn't put together a pictorial collage of [link|http://www.angelfire.com/tx4/cus/people/index.html|programming language people]. I slipped up on the same one as DeSitter.
BTW, if anyone ever runs across an image of Radin (PL/I) OR Schwartz (JOVIAL), let me know.
