It did.

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?),

Yup.

so I've really got no idea how to implement it in a Cocoa based application...

I understand all the theory work, but I'm still at a lost as to how to use these functions, for example, in Obj-C, I would do something like:

NSString *hello = [regex parseString:@"hello" withExpression:expression];

Nope. C functions use C strings. There are no ObjC calls involved here, just function calls.


See here for a pure-C example:
http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ genprogc/internationalized_reg_expression_subr.htm

and remember that + (NSString) stringWithCString; and - (NSString) cString; are your friends.
