An indirect method to achieve this is to use an interface
to a general-purpose scripting language that has RE functionality.

I've written an interface to the Tcl scripting language,
which gives you exactly that capability (plus a whole lot
more - we use it to interface to the filesystem).


Without digging into the doco for the Tcl regexp package I
can't say with 100% certainty that it is Posix compliant,

but it either already is or is pretty close.


Cheers,
