The Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library is a set of functions that implement regular expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics as Perl 5. PCRE has its own native API, in addition to a set of POSIX compatible wrapper functions.

User Reviews

  • I love this library
  • Fast and feature rich regular expression library. The API is simple and effective. Using the library in Microsoft development tools and compiling for Win32 platform was effortless. We have embedded PCRE as a native class into our "JILRun runtime environment", a programming environment for Windows console applications, where PCRE is providing fast and reliable string search and replace operations.
  • Very good! Thanks!
