regular expression lib

Vij
is there a cross platform (msvc, gcc and solaris CC) simple regex
library available? All we need is a simple lib that will do string
matching, nothing too complex.

Try searching on Google, with a search string like:

cross platform regular expression library c++

Done that before this post. But if I may have missed something please
let me know.
I am not being lazy here, I have spent days trying to get GRETA to work
with Solaris and have failed :(

Have a look at <http://www.boost.org/>. The regular expression library
from Boost is the base of what has become part of the first C++
standard library technical report (abbreviated as TR1) which lists
candidated for future inclusion into the standard C++ library.

Try the Boost library at www.boost.org or more specifically

You have overlooked that a "simple lib ... nothing too complex" is
required.

That could also mean simple to use ;-)

If your compiler/libs are POSIX compliant (unix, linux) then
<regex.h> should be available. see 'man regcomp', 'man regexec',
etc for details.

You could also use the GNU regex lib - source code found here:

I'm still working on formal documentation, and in any case, such documentation isn't necessarily the...

Hi, I am replaceing a big string using different regular expressions (see some example at the end of the message). The problem is whenever I apply a "replace" it makes a new copy of string and I want to avoid that. My question here is if there is a way to pass either a memory stream or array of "find", "replace" expressions or any other way to avoid multiple copies of a string. Any help will be highly appreciated

I have a regular expression (^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 ) that results in matches. I would like to get what the actual regular expression is. In other words, when I apply ^(.+)(?=\s*).*\1 to " HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) 37.33/2 HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT) WITH CATHETER 37.34/2 " the expression is "HEART (CONDUCTION DEFECT)". How do I gain access to the expression (not the matches) at runtime? Thanks, Mike
