How do I implement recursive definitions in regex
for 'c' functions?

For e.g
KEY    "DELETED|SINCE "date"|"FROM "string
        "|NOT "KEY"|"OR "KEY" "KEY"|
        ("KEY"( "KEY")* )"

I cannot use recursive definitions when using a #define

I defined it in the following manner(without much success!)

#define KEY_ALONE  "DELETED|SINCE "date"|"FROM "string
#define KEY_SET     "NOT "KEY_ALONE"| OR "KEY_ALONE"
"KEY_ALONE"|"KEY_ALONE"("KEY_ALONE")*"

However, this code does not run for combinations like

1.  NOT NOT DELETED
2.  NOT OR DELETED FROM "xyz"
3.  OR OR DELETED FROM "xyz" SINCE "5-01-01"
4.  OR OR NOT DELETED FROM "xyz" NOT SINCE "5-01-01"
5.  OR DELETED OR FROM "xyz" SINCE "5-01-01"
