regular expressions

[Lop]

I am interested to know what libraries people use for regular expressions in C++? I've read about Boost, but has anyone tried it? Or does anyone have any other recommendations?

Same here. I too have heard about "Boost library" but haven't tried it.
Try this:
Boost.Regex

I have used boost for regular expressions in C++, and I've found it is helpful, but I don't like Regex that well

I've looked briefly at Boost Regex, but not in depth. From what I've seen, it should meet all your needs, however.

Not many people are fans of regular expressions, but sometimes they are necessary.

Thanks for the input, I suppose I will give boost a try.

Regular expressions have a learning curve, but can be VERY powerful. I've used them to identify duplicate data in the CSV output of a table, for example.
