    strcmp with regular expressions

    hi,

    is there a possibility to use regular expressions within the srtcmp-function?

    thanks,

    Not directly. strcmp() does a manual char by char comparison. You would need a regular expression library of sorts to compare strings.

    C++ doesn't recognize regular expressions.
