RE: regexec() trouble



Many thanks for the reply and the references, there is a lot to learn. In
my ignorance I had lifted an 'advanced' pattern from some website but had
compiled it as a 'basic' regex - no wonder it didn't work. Woulda' been nice
if regcomp had mentioned it, though...
How would regcomp() know whether you meant to search for a + symbol in the string, or whether you mistakenly used basic instead of extended? Seems to me that there's no way it could know that you made a mistake...
