The June '89 issue of Dr Dobbs Journal has an article
called "Writing AWK-like extensions in C."  If you are
familiar with UNIX AWK then you know that it has very
extensive string searching and regular expression support.

The article looks pretty good (I haven't dived into it yet)
and it comes with the C source for lots of support routines.
The routines try to integrate the basic string processing 
capabilities of AWK into C functions.

I think you can buy a disk with the source on it from DDJ
and I know it's on the net somewhere.
