Hello Sir, I've been working on this project for the past couple of days. I found that there are few good regex libraries suitable for this task. Considering the requirements I think PCRE, ICU regex and RGX would do the job. But ICU regex doesn't have recursion but it has well-documented easy-to-understand code. Currently I think PCRE is the best option we can have.
In case of I missed some libraries, I guess you will enlighten me to study about them too. considering the requirements I didn't see Asian multi-byte support implemented in anywhere, what would we do about that.? In the google-melange page, under the application template there is a field called "Project description", what should I include there.? i mean do you expect a full description about the project including figures or just a brief just like in projects ideas page. Thank you.
