Various parts of Cocoa use ICU to do regular expression searching,
so it
must be built in; so is there a way I can just use it directly to
do a find
or find-and-replace in an NSString? Thx - m.
I failed in my attempt to use the ICU library that ships with Mac OS
X: /usr/lib/libicucore.dylib.
It's quite possible that you could make it work even if I couldn't...
There are a bunch of Cocoa regexp facilities available:
You will most likely find one that can provide the functionality
you're looking for.
I didn't find any of them to my liking (various combinations of
problems: not universal, inadequate performance or awkward API), and
so made my own wrapper for PCRE. It's very bare-bones, but you can
have a copy of it if you would want to attempt to extend it.
