Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions

The PCRE (Perl-compatible regular expression library) implements PERL Regular Expressions for REXX.

Note: If you do not have the VAC Compiler installed, you must use the DLL from the static/bin directory!

The DLL contains the following functions:

auth = PCREAuthor()

Returns the strings containing PCRE author's name and email.
ver = PCREVersion()
Returns the string containing library version.
rc = PCREInit([locale])
Returns used locale (in all categories)
rc = PCRECompile( 'pcre', mask )
compile a regular rexpression
rc = PCREExec('pos_stem.',pcre,string,[pos,[,opts])
Search a pattern
call PCRELoad
Initializes library and registers all nessecary functions
call DropPCRE
Deregisters library functions *

There's also a sample class for Object REXX in the ZIP file.
