[comp.lang.c] Regular expression matcher?

jas@ISI.EDU (Jeff Sullivan) (04/13/91)

Is there some library somewhere that handles regexp macthing like grep
(or, ideally, perl) does?

Where might it be FTPed?

I think the lads over at ftp.cs.toronto.edu have a copy of mine available.
It does egrep-style regular expressions.  I believe the one in perl is a
heavily-mutated version of mine, although I haven't confirmed this.
Certainly mine is used in a pile of other things, including commercial
products from several companies.

You might also try Victor Volkman's BBS in the Detroit area.  The
phone number is 313-663-4173; look for the files named CGAZV5N1.ARC,
CGAZV5N2.ARC, and CGAZV5N3.ARC.  These are the sources for the last
three issues of the C Gazette, and ONE of them has a pretty good
grep engine in them.

Victor doesn't require money from you unless you want to dial
up more than half an hour a day.
