reimplementing VanityGen's PCRE regular expression function in VanitySearch

[citb0in]

Hello all,

Jean-Luc-Pond said that in his version of VanitySearch no RegExp is implemented and available. However, the original version VanityGen from sam7 contains a regex function. This is also mentioned in its readme.

Does anyone know if there is a modified VanitySearch version available that also allows PCRE/RegEx searches? If not, is there anyone among you with C++ skills who could re-implement the missing code from Sam7 in VanitySearch? Looking forward to your comments.

I could implement PCRE(2) searches inside VanitySearch from the code in https://github.com/rurban/pcre for a small fee (as my development schedule is traffic jammed).

You cannot just rip samr7's regex functions out and place them in VanitySeerch because they are directly depending on OpenSSL.
