For parsing regular expressions check out the boost library. Info can be 
found the their website.

http://www.boost.org/

specifically

http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/index.htm

As for accessing web pages, (and by that I assume you mean remotely 
connecting to a web server and requesting a page from it which you then read 
into your program) you'll have to look into some networking functions. AFAIR 
Windows can use a similiar API to BSD style sockets. It should be relatively 
easy (assuming you know that API. If not I can try to explain it a bit or 
refer you to some web tutorials) to establish a TCP/IP connection to a 
remote web server on port 80, send it the get request, and read the data the 
server spits back.

Hopefully that should help some,
