As far as I'm aware VS6 doesn't provide a library. That's to say I don't think there's one for C++. There does appear to be one for JScript. The IDE itself can use REs for search operations. It may be that newer VCs do provide something, or maybe not and that's why one was included in Boost. Unhappily, Richard.

I thought someone might ask this .....
I certainly don't "want" to use VC6, but I'm not working on my own on independent programs, I'm in a team of about ten people developing and maintaining a set of applications that work together. We'd like to move to a new compiler but it'll take a lot of testing to confirm that after we've done so everything still continies to work and work together (*). And to confirm that a random mixture of applications taken from both groups (VC6 and VCnewer) will work together as that is the way our main customer tends to operate. This will all take some time and require someone to fund it. And you might well also ask why the testing would be so onerous assuming we have automated testing which would deal with

In the meantime I need a Regular Expression library.
Doesn't MS itself have a regexp library?
