Hi,
I've been looking at using some simple regular expression processing in
an application, partly as an academic exercise and also because I think
it will simplify what I'll have to do.
I've found numerous regular expression libraries/components. What is
your opinion on these? How well do they work with Borland C++ Builder
6? How easy are they to set up and use?
The regular expression libraries/components are:
1) Boost: www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/install.html
2) TRegExpr: regexpstudio.com/TRegExpr/TRegExpr.html
3) PCRE: sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/
4) TropicSoft: www.tropicsoft.com/Components/RegularExpression/default.htm
Are there any others that are worth a mention?
Thanks very much for your help
Prem.

have run into some template bugs in the BCB compiler that caused
it to crash. This is not the fault of the author of boost::regex
in any way.
I have a wrapper class that I use that encapsulates PCRE. I like
PCRE, but I would not use it directly. Write a wrapper class, or
find one.
I have not used the other two. Personally, I would not choose
a pascal based component when pure C++ alternatives exit. The
last link seems to be a C++ wrapper for boost.
