Easy to use regular expression library for speech control jukebox

Hi,

I'm finishing up developing a speech control jukebox (see
intelligentjukebox.com)

Can anyone point me to the easiest to use free library that does very
basic regular expression matching and substitution? E.g. I need do
stuff like this: (perl expression follows)

$s =~ s/\&/and/g; # replace ampersands with "and"

I'm a fairly good using the c++ language, but I have little experience
setting up libraries, make files, etc. I'm using Visual C++ 6.0.
Isn't there any library where I can just add a few .cpp and .h files
to my code?

Setting up libraries seems arcane and nonstandard to me. The language
is hard enough by itself. Is there any guide to this knowledge
anywhere?

So far I've tried unsuccessfully to set up these libraries:

http://www.psyon.org/projects/pcre-win32/

Thanks,
Jeff

I don't know how far compatible boost.regex is with perl but thats one
free library that does basic stuff.

How the hell did you use the speech recognition library? Did you roll
your own?

If your runtime environment includes posix c support, you could perhaps use
the standard regex routines?

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>

int regcomp(regex_t *preg, const char *regex, int cflags);
int regexec(const regex_t *preg, const char *string, size_t
nmatch,
regmatch_t pmatch[], int eflags);
size_t regerror(int errcode, const regex_t *preg, char *errbuf,
size_t
errbuf_size);
void regfree(regex_t *preg);

Regards

Thanks, I like this solution best. I added the includes, but I get a
compile error. Do you know how I can fix this?

Uhh, yes I did! I rolled my own SR library into a big fattie and
smoked it. Now its all gone! For now I'm stuck with M$.

Ok, this is what allowed me to use the ms sapi. Without this site I
never would have started my project.

no, sorry, my knowledge about Windows is really limited.

Good luck

Windows is not POSIX compliant and has no built-in regular expression
library.

You'll have to go find one. Henry Spencer wrote one for wxWidgets which is
freely available. PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expressions) lib is free and
has C++ wrappers. These things can be found with Google.
