   @kirby @kirby @kirby @kirby what's the recommended way to do regex matching in a (minimalist) C project?

     Couple options:
     1) POSIX Regex library
     2) If you control the regexes, write a backtracking regex (http://genius.cat-v.org/brian-kernighan/articles/beautiful)
     3) Don't use regex and use something simpler

     What do you need them for?
