I'm working on writing one.
I've actualy wrote a simple globbing function.
I've also wrote a string search function that uses the BM search algorithm.
I totaly agree with the key role of the regexp or regsub command.
In tcl I use it alot.
There are two solution:
1. use the freeware C source that Henry Spencer shared with us 1986.
This is the one used in FeeeBSD, Tcl and I guess in many other freeware
packages.
