In a previous life, I used PCRE (Perl Compatible Regular Expressions)
to add regular expressions to an application:
http://www.pcre.org/
It's pretty easy to use, and under a BSD-style license. We were pretty
happy with it. It even provides some wrapper functions that correspond
to the POSIX regular expression API.
Just my $0.02...

What do you all think about OgreKit? It looks like it might do the

a wrapper around some Ruby.

Does anyone know if there's an `NS' class in the works that addresses
the regex issues. If not, I wonder if it's just not high enough
priority at the time, or if there's `some reason' for it?

Hi guys,
I've been told I can use regex.h for powering the regular expression
searches in my app. I'm never actually touched pure C code (is
regex.h C?), so I've really got no idea how to implement it in a
Cocoa based application.
I guess I could use NSTask, but I think that could cause major
slowdowns. I also know about the OmniFrameworks and others (MOKit
etc.), but I'd rather cook up my own engine if possible. Any help is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Oliver
You don't want to use system provided regex from Cocoa because the
system regexes don't support unicode (and Cocoa strings do).
Taking the regex from TCL is pretty straightforward (which is what I
do in IDEKit, and it works quite well with unicode now).
