Re: Using regex.h

What do you all think about OgreKit? It looks like it might do the 
job....at a quick glance, there are some examples and it appears to be 
a wrapper around some Ruby.

Does anyone know if there's an `NS' class in the works that addresses 
the regex issues. If not, I wonder if it's just not high enough 
priority at the time, or if there's `some reason' for it?
