.SH NAME
|
||||
PCRE - Perl-compatible regular expressions
|
||||
.SH "PCRE SAMPLE PROGRAM"
|
||||
.rs
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
A simple, complete demonstration program, to get you started with using PCRE,
|
||||
is supplied in the file \fIpcredemo.c\fP in the PCRE distribution.
|
||||
.P
|
||||
The program compiles the regular expression that is its first argument, and
|
||||
matches it against the subject string in its second argument. No PCRE options
|
||||
are set, and default character tables are used. If matching succeeds, the
|
||||
program outputs the portion of the subject that matched, together with the
|
||||
contents of any captured substrings.
|
||||
.P
|
||||
If the -g option is given on the command line, the program then goes on to
|
||||
check for further matches of the same regular expression in the same subject
|
||||
string. The logic is a little bit tricky because of the possibility of matching
|
||||
an empty string. Comments in the code explain what is going on.
|
||||
.P
|
||||
If PCRE is installed in the standard include and library directories for your
|
||||
system, you should be able to compile the demonstration program using this
|
||||
command:
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
gcc -o pcredemo pcredemo.c -lpcre
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
If PCRE is installed elsewhere, you may need to add additional options to the
|
||||
command line. For example, on a Unix-like system that has PCRE installed in
|
||||
\fI/usr/local\fP, you can compile the demonstration program using a command
|
||||
like this:
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
.\" JOINSH
|
||||
gcc -o pcredemo -I/usr/local/include pcredemo.c \e
|
||||
-L/usr/local/lib -lpcre
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Once you have compiled the demonstration program, you can run simple tests like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
./pcredemo 'cat|dog' 'the cat sat on the mat'
|
||||
./pcredemo -g 'cat|dog' 'the dog sat on the cat'
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
Note that there is a much more comprehensive test program, called
|
||||
.\" HREF
|
||||
\fBpcretest\fP,
|
||||
.\"
|
||||
which supports many more facilities for testing regular expressions and the
|
||||
PCRE library. The \fBpcredemo\fP program is provided as a simple coding
|
||||
example.
|
||||
.P
|
||||
On some operating systems (e.g. Solaris), when PCRE is not installed in the
|
||||
standard library directory, you may get an error like this when you try to run
|
||||
\fBpcredemo\fP:
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: libpcre.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
This is caused by the way shared library support works on those systems. You
|
||||
need to add
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
-R/usr/local/lib
|
||||
.sp
|
||||
(for example) to the compile command to get round this problem.
