Depending on what you're doing you could try using Ruby Cocoa.
In theory this should give you access to all of Ruby's internal regexp
support, combined with the GUI goodness of Cocoa. However, this has
limitations of its own, such as distribution audience, speed, etc.

Hi all,
This might be a really silly question - but am I missing something
obvious?
Is there any support at all for regular expressions in the Cocoa
libraries?
I can't find anything and I've found some third-party frameworks -
but
surely something so necessary must be buried in the string classes
somewhere? How would I do a simple substring search or replace in
10.4?
Thanks,
Cemil
Hello -
There is no regular expression support in Cocoa. You might find http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?RegularExpressions
useful in helping to find a library to do it for you.
Search and replace in Cocoa looks like this:
NSString *someString = @"The quick brown fox";
NSString *newString = [someString
stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"quick" withString:@"slow"];
You can find this in the NSString documentation. It creates a new
string with the substring replaced.
