C++ Regex Engine
C++ Regex Engine provides a robust regular expression library for use in C++. The syntax of the regular expression language is very close to the Perl 5 standard. The classes given somewhat mirror those found in Java's regular expression library, but have several improvements. The intended audience of this package is anyone who does a lot of data parsing (e.g. sysadmins), people tired of trying to decipher Perl scripts, and regular expression beginners who know C++. Some knowledge of the STL's vector and string will come in handy, but isn't necessary.
