There is no standard regex in C.

There are however a number of libraries which implement several varieties of regex - do you have one of these?
Or are you looking for suggestions (state OS/Compiler).

Are you looking for "grep" compatibility or "perl" compatibility when it comes to composing your regex'es.

Well...there is the posix regexp kit..regcomp,etc..
That's standard across all posix compliant unices,
and possibly other 'posix compliant' OS's like NT.
Checked on UX, Linux and freeBsd and the implementations
are pretty standard.
man 3 regcomp.
