Hey gang,
I’m trying to learn to use libpcre with standard c programming. I’m sure a statement like that is likely to beg a lot of counter-suggestions about what language/platform I should be using for my project but please accept this:
the boss is making me do it this way.
That being said, I’m a passable c programmer, I just don’t have a lot of experience with libpcre. Most of the docs I’ve found spend a lot of time dealing with the syntax of regular expressions, but the truth is that I already understand pcre from using perl.
What I need to learn is the syntax of pcre as it applies to c programming. I’ve found a lot of specifications but no good, short practical snippets of working code that I can mod into my project.
If I can’t locate one in the next couple of days then I’m going to be stuck trying to convince the boss that I need to tackle the project in some other way, which is much more complicated than just doing what he wants in the first place.
Any help??
