Hi Gregory,

Thanks for your contribution on this thread.

Just reading thru this thread and got your words about regex-ing with VFP. regex is not native to VFP. I understand you mean using an external library to process the regex. Which one would you rely upon? And what dependencies (i-e dlls) would that incur.

We are have a growing requirement to parse expressions from within VFP here. Up to now I did strictly rely on the relatively vfp string-handling facilities. Would you recommend some external stable third-party libraries for this regexing ? I certainly WANT to avoid win-platform-levels dependencies here:)

Cheers

Daniel
