OpenOffice has a C++ interface to GNU regex so Google's RE2 seemed like a natural fit there. Unfortunately I see TextSearch::RESrchBkwrd in textsearch.cxx so I assume we need backreferences. The Re2 website says: "If you absolutely need backreferences and generalized assertions, then RE2 is not for you, but you might be interested in irregexp, Google Chrome's regular expression engine." irregexp replaced PCRE and is mentioned here: http://blog.chromium.org/2009/02/irregexp-google-chromes-new-regexp.html And the code, integrated in chrome's v8, is here: http://v8.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/ regex-* It's also C++ and it's under a BSD license. I couldn't find it as an independent package so someone that actually knows well C++ will have to do the fun part. Well, at least it's much better than writing our own ;-). Pedro.
