- Rogue Wave's Tools.h++ has a regular expression class which works with
- their string class. I have used it quite successfully in several
- projects.
- An advertisement I recently received from them indicates their latest
- release contains a POSIX compliant version.
-
- I am also using the regular expression provided in tools.h++ and it
- is very handy.
- But what happens if one moves their code to a platform that do
- not have tools.h++ on it?
-
- I think a regular expression class should be part of the standard
- library for C++, this way the code is portable.
