Yes i got one. I have a parameter substitution engine which can replace tokens inside a list by any symbol:

0 1 [expand] 2

0: input. should contain tokens: &1, &2, ... 1: replacement list. first element is for &1, ... 2: output list.

It was developed under linux but uses only std c++, and std libc (besides flext 0.3.3) and should compile under other systems as well.

I needed this for a generative environment (mixer array builder, patch matrix builder, etc), which reads pd patch files as macros.

I will continue developing, so if you have any remarks or find any bugs, tell me. I also will put it for download somewhere some time next week.

I would like to have a full regex engine but haven't spent any time on a regex external yet. (Though i found out how to abuse the pd scheduler as state engine for regex backtracking.)
