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
