Thread: [Dev-C++] Portable web access and regexp parser

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi-
I have programmed for many years in perl, but I haven't taken more than a
glance at C++ until now, so please excuse my ignorance.
I am looking for a way to access web pages from my program. They are not web
pages per se, but text files accessed over the web. I need to be able to
parse these for strings. Regular expressions might be the way to do this. I
know that there is a library called libWWW, but I have never used it except
for it's perl incarnation, LWP. I would like the solution to be
cross-platform between windows and linux, as I am developing a wxWindows
application. I have attached some sample output to the end of this email.

[client_account_finder:start]
[client_account_finder:host sneakemail.com]
[client_account_finder:end]

In this instance, I need to get xyz.com.

Here's some more complicated input:

I'd like to turn this into some inteligent data structure. The data fields
are
     label
     sm_address
     domain
     folder_id
. I would also like to put this into a treectrl in wxWindows, but I think I
can figure that out.
