Why Doesn't Monkey C Have Regex Capabilities for Strings?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on an app where I need to fetch and process data from a website. The data comes as a raw string, and I need to extract specific information from it. Naturally, I thought of using regular expressions (regex) for this task, as they're incredibly powerful and convenient for string manipulation.

However, when I searched through the Monkey C documentation, I couldn't find any support for regex. This is quite surprising, considering how common and useful regex is for handling strings in various programming languages.

Can anyone explain why Monkey C doesn't support regex? Are there any alternative methods or workarounds available within the Monkey C framework for achieving similar functionality?

Thanks in advance for your help!
