Intro

This NSString extension has been created as a simple replacement for RegexKitLite library using the NSRegularExpression class from Foundation.

At this initital stage, this extension only covers the most common and used functions of RegexKitLite.

The idea behind this project is replace the RegexKitLite library without the necessity to change your source code written using the RegexKitLite (Only the #import should be replaced).
