Hey guys, I was just wondering what some of you guys thought was the best (and preferably easy to install) library for Regular Expressions. Thanks for the help! P.S. I'm using Dev C++ 4.9.9.2, so compatibility might be an issue for those of you that use other compilers/IDEs. |

Thanks for the reply, though I do have a small problem. (Problem solved! I needed to use \\[ instead of \[ ) I'm trying to escape the [] characters, but when typed into the IDE and compiled, \[ and \] do not work and I get a warning message ("[Warning] unknown escape sequence '\]'"). The program runs, but does not recognize matches. (I have also tried using \x5B \x5D \N{left-square-bracket} and \N{right-square-bracket}) If however, in the program I have the user type in the exact same expression, it does work. Any idea what's going on here? Here's the expression I'm using to test: ^\[(.*)=(.*)\]$ ...and I'm trying to match it to: [item=12] It works on several online regex testers and a Firefox plugin, just as typed above. Any help is appreciated. |
