I would like the ability to see if a particular string matches a regular expression. I have looked at regexp.h and compile() on my Unix machine. I can not say I really understood everything they said on the first reading, but they look promissing. My problem is that I would like do use the same regular expression evaluation method in both the Unix and MS-DOS worlds, PLUS perhaps port the whole thing to other compilers/platforms as well. I can not find anything obviously like regexp.h in my MS-C run time manual. I guess what I am asking is if anyone out there in netland knows of a good, public domain regular expression evaluation routine? If so, I can probably get it off of uunet.com or SIMTEL20, but I need a name!!! Can anyone help? Frank
