I'm playing with [link\|http://sourceforge.net/projects/agkit\|AGKit], which is an ObjC wrapper for libpcre (Perl regular expressions). But, I need a way to escape regular expressions (like the Python [link\|http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/node99.html#l2h-728\|re.escape] method does). Any ideas? Any better regex libraries to use for GNUstep/Objective C? I might be able to do something like this: \n\tAGRegex regex = [[AGRegex alloc] initWithPattern:@"[^a-zA-Z0-9]"];\n\tNSString result = [regex replaceWithString:@"\\\\$&" inString:strToEscape];\n Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

[link\|http://www.misckit.com\|http://www.misckit.com] is an enormous pile of free ObjectiveC. I think there are methods on MiscString. I'd split em off into a category on NSString. Another one is the OmniGroup libs - [link\|http://www.omnigroup.com/developer/sourcecode/\|http://www.omnigroup...loper/sourcecode/] There is stuff in OmniFoundation. The thing about Omni code is it all builds on itself so you can end up with a lot of extra stuff if you just want one thing. Or write your own category on NSString to interface to your fave regex lib in C.
