NREX: Node RegEx

** Version 0.2 **

Small node-based regular expression library. It only does text pattern matchhing, not replacement. To use add the files nrex.hpp, nrex.cpp and nrex_config.h to your project and follow the example:

nrex regex;
regex.compile("^(fo+)bar$");

nrex_result captures[regex.capture_size()];
if (regex.match("foobar", captures))
{
	std::cout << captures[0].start << std::endl;
	std::cout << captures[0].length << std::endl;
}

More details about its use is documented in nrex.hpp

Currently supported features:

• Capturing () and non-capturing (?:) groups
• Any character . (includes newlines)
• Shorthand caracter classes \w\W\s\S\d\D
• POSIX character classes such as [[:alnum:]]
• Bracket expressions such as [A-Za-z]
• Simple quantifiers ?, * and +
• Range quantifiers {0,1}
• Lazy (non-greedy) quantifiers *?
• Begining ^ and end $ anchors
• Word boundaries \b
• Alternation |
• ASCII \xFF code points
• Unicode \uFFFF code points
• Positive (?=) and negative (?!) lookahead
• Positive (?<=) and negative (?<!) lookbehind (fixed length and no alternations)
• Backreferences \1 and \g{1} (limited by default to 9 - can be unlimited)
