<P>The author can be contacted at john@johnmaddock.co.uk; the home page for
this library is at <A href="http://www.boost.org">www.boost.org</A>.</P>
<P>I am indebted to <A href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/">Robert Sedgewick's
"Algorithms in C++" </A>for forcing me to think about algorithms and their
performance, and to the folks at <A href="http://www.boost.org">boost</A> for
forcing me to <I>think</I>, period.</P>
<P><A href="http://www.boost-consulting.com">Eric Niebler</A>, author of the <A href="http://research.microsoft.com/projects/greta">
GRETA regular expression component</A>, has shared several important ideas,
in a series of long discussions.</P>
<P>Pete Becker, of <A href="http://www.dinkumware.com/">Dinkumware Ltd</A>, has
helped enormously with the standardisation proposal language.</P>
<P>The following people have all contributed useful comments or fixes: Dave
Abrahams, Mike Allison, Edan Ayal, Jayashree Balasubramanian, Jan Blsche,
Beman Dawes, Paul Baxter, David Bergman, David Dennerline, Edward Diener, Peter
Dimov, Robert Dunn, Fabio Forno, Tobias Gabrielsson, Rob Gillen, Marc Gregoire,
Chris Hecker, Nick Hodapp, Jesse Jones, Martin Jost, Boris Krasnovskiy, Jan
Hermelink, Max Leung, Wei-hao Lin, Jens Maurer, Richard Peters, Heiko Schmidt,
Jason Shirk, Gerald Slacik, Scobie Smith, Mike Smyth, Alexander Sokolovsky,
Herv Poirier, Michael Raykh, Marc Recht, Scott VanCamp, Bruno Voigt, Alexey
Voinov, Jerry Waldorf, Rob Ward, Lealon Watts, John Wismar, Thomas Witt and
Yuval Yosef. I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer,
Perl and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried to
maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard - the
code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely guarantee
that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have any comments or
spot any bugs, please get in touch.</P>
<P>Useful further information can be found at:</P>
<P>Short tutorials on regular expressions can be <A href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/helpsheets/regex.html">
found here</A> and <A href="http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/Administration/RegExp/page1.html">here</A>.</P>
<P>The main book on regular expressions is <A href="http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex/">
Mastering Regular Expressions, published by O'Reilly</A>.</P>
<P>Information on the <A href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1429.htm">
Boost.regex standardization proposal</A>, along with other <A href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1475.html">
standard library extension proposals</A> can be found on the <A href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/">

<P>The<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/toc.htm">Open Unix
Specification</a> contains a wealth of useful material, including the
regular expression syntax, and specifications for <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/regex.h.html">
<regex.h></a> and <a href="http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/nl_types.h.html">

<p>The <a href="http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~stelo/pattern.html">Pattern Matching Pointers</a>
site is a "must visit" resource for anyone interested in pattern matching.</p>
<p><a href="http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/">Glimpse and Agrep</a>, use a
