Regular expression libraries for Mac OS X 10.6

Question

Is there a library compatible with PCRE that can be used on Mac OS X 10.6, and which is Unicode compatible?

I was thinking to use the predicates, but it is a little excessive when the application is not already using Spotlight predicates.

Answer 1

I'd recommend RegexKitLite . While it's not quiet as full featured as the full RegexKit it's more actively developed, and is usable on both the iphone and desktop apps.

It's also a very very small addition to your app not having much impact on the end executable size.

Answer 2

RegexKit怎么样 ？

Answer 3

There's also OgreKit , used by TextMate, and apparently SubEthaEdit and some other heavy-hitters

Answer 5

As alternative to the frameworks already reported, there is also OFRegularExpression , which is part of OmniFoundation . As it is part of a bigger framework, it could not be the right choice, or it should be considered if other parts of the framework are required.
