Hi,

You've gotten a lot of decent answers so far.

As a long time UNIX programmer, I'll suggest looking into the regexp library that already comes with OS X.

man regcomp on the command line to find out how to use.

I've used it for years in my C applications on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems. I've even made some simple classes for using the lib in Cocoa. Admittedly the interface is a bit schizoid, but I'll email it to you if you're interested in looking at it.

I've looked at RegexKit and it looks good if you want Perl compatible regular expressions. The license isn't bad, so you can add it to your application without doing much, though giving a plug to the author(s) in your About panel would be nice. ;)

I'll have to add making a nice interface for the system regex library to my list of things to do. Maybe I'll get to that this weekend right after doing bas64, UUcode, binHex, etc. ;)

Cheers,
Jason
