Hi there! I am looking for the equivalent of the BSD regex(3) or SYSV regcmp(3) routines for MSDOS, in a public domain (read: gratis) version. This is SUCH a useful thing that someone HAS to have written it before! Yet my search of the Simtel archives turned up empty (or where do they hide?). Yes, I know I can write them myself. I just don't enjoy reinventing the wheel (and hammering out the dents again:-). Thanks for your help -- perry ------------------------------------------------------------------------ << Perry The Cynic >> =>> perry@inteloa.intel.com <<= ...!tektronix!ogcvax!omepd!inteloa!perry (Peter Kiehtreiber) ...!verdix!omepd!inteloa!perry

In the May 1986 issue of PC Tech Journal is a version of grep written in Turbo Pascal. It is organized as a regular expression compiler and a regular expression interpreter so it might be what you want. The algorithm used was taken from Software Tools in Pascal.

Henry Spencer (henry@utzoo.uucp) wrote a public domain regex package and posted it to mod.sources quite a while (a year? two years?) ago. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.
