We only provide one as a fallback for the case that libc doesn't have the regex functionality we need. This is the code in the regexrepl directory that you'll find in the toplevel source directory. The regex code is used by gimp-plug-ins-query (and a similar function in script-fu). I don't understand how you can not understand this code since it seems pretty straight-forward. Could you elaborate on your problems? Salut, Sven
