Regular expressions handler on NT

NTDEV
1

Dear All,

I’m looking for analogs of “re_comp” and “re_exec” routines from
<unistd.h> on NT. As you may know, these routines are used for regular
expression handling.
Any tips/guesses will be greatly welcome.

Thank you.
Giga.

Check out this page:

It is a very nice template based regular expression parser that includes support for both single and multibyte (UNICODE) character sets!

Thank you, but I’m not sure I can allow myself messing around with a new library containing templates, even if I’m sure it’s written very
well.
I’d rather comment out those source lines :-).

I would really preffer something “native”.

Regards,
Giga.

You might find Snobol4 useful as an external program
for matching/substituting regular expressions (so long as
they are not in Unicode) if your application permits.

See http://www.snobol4.com for info on Snobol4, Spitbol, etc.

Win32 doesn’t support the use of <unistd.h>, so however much you’d
like it you don’t have the option of “platform independent” regex
matching. (To be honest, I wouldn’t count any regex functions as
“standard” wherever you find them under your particular UNIX. IMHO
they’re almost certainly a proprietary extension anyway.) You’re going
to have to choose some form of external library.

Which one you choose is your option.

There are many available for download - use any search engine and
you’ll hit many.

Two I’d recommend are Perl, which you can either invoke as an external
script, or if you can spare the time to learn, embed as an internal
API.

The other obvious option is that Windows Scripting now has an
Automation based regex parser as standard. You can probably
instantiate this object from normal code, if not you can embed a very
simple scripting engine (look up IActiveScript) which will let you
invoke it.

Other engines will have the advantage of closer integration with
C/C++, but active scripting is probably more available on most Windows
boxes.
