title: Using Regular Expressions in a Cocoa Application for Mac App Store
body: <p>I have a lot of problems getting regular expressions working for my simple Cocoa application.  I know that many people use RegexpKit Lite, but because it has an undocumented API call (to use the ICU library), I am pretty sure my app would get rejected when submitted to the Mac App Store (I know others have been rejected for using ICU in the iOS App Store).  </p>
  
  <p>My next step was to integrate with the full RegExpKit framework.  While this works without issue in my application, it doesn't work in my unit tests.  I have tried a lot of steps here - but, I still keep getting 'library not loaded' for the framework, even though there is a copy files build phase that puts the framework in the correct place.  In addition, I spent quite a bit of time debugging another issue with the RegExpKit framework (dealing with the restrict qualifiers within the framework).  Long story short - I don't think the RegexpKit framework is a good choice for me.</p>
  
  <p>In reality, I just need a simple solution for regular expressions (speed isn't a primary concern as this will be used sparingly) that can be used within my unit tests.</p>
  
  <p>Ideas?</p>
