In these times where standarisation is a much used word. I run in to a problem which must be solved many times before. The problem is: I want to use the regular expression handler from the C-library(SYS V: libform.a). So far so good, but it has to work on different platforms. For the moment SYS V 3.2 and SunOS 4.01. I need this in an OO-application. Most objects have a different RE stored in them. Since SunOs and SYS V handle regular expressions completly different I want to know: - Is there uniform way of solving this ? ( I don't like #ifdef's ) ( And I certainly don't want two versions ) - Is there maybe another standard Lib ? - Are RE's standarised (POSIX,ANSI maybe) ? - Or must I just every time when I want to use an RE "compile" it before I can 'regex' or 're_exec' ? ( This is very expensive I think ) I will give a summary of the reactions. Thanks in advance, Aristides Grigoriou P.S.
