This really isn't a response to your question, but you did remind
me of something I've been meaning to bring up.

Is there a Perl like Regular Expression Library that works with
DJGPP and/or VC++?  I've been really spoiled by perl here at
work, and would love to be able to use regular expressions in 
C/C++.

And, to get to your question, have you ever done any work with
Tokens and Parsers?  They can be a little tricky, but they let you
parse out strings such as that.  If that string is all you are going
to use, however, I think you cold probably just use strcmp and
strcat to get the parts you want out.
