Hi

I'm wondering if anyone has done any work on accessing the Boost
libraries. I'm particularly interested in the Regex (I know VBscript has
a regex engine, I'm looking at boost as a potential alternative). I
don't know c++ at all so am not sure how or where to start to make these
dlls accessible to my vb6 app.

Thanks

(Having said that, perhaps someone knows some other freeware com regex
util?)

Boost libraries are "C++ libraries" you can not use them directly in VB6
code. [You could perhaps create a C++ ATL application to wrap them. Since
you don't know C++ there is no point going there.]

As for "free", you already have a Regular Expression component. Open Project
References and seek out "Microsoft VBScript Regular Expressions 5.5"
