A listing of -this program is given in the -.\" HREF -\fBpcredemo\fP -.\" -documentation. If you do not have a copy of the PCRE distribution, you can save -this listing to re-create \fIpcredemo.c\fP. -.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 -operating 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 -.\" HREF -\fBpcredemo\fP -.\" -program is provided as a simple coding example. -.P -When you try to run -.\" HREF -\fBpcredemo\fP -.\" -when PCRE is not installed in the standard library directory, you may get an -error like this on some operating systems (e.g. Solaris): -.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. -. -. -.SH AUTHOR -.rs -.sp -.nf -Philip Hazel -University Computing Service -Cambridge CB2 3QH, England. -.fi -. -. -.SH REVISION -.rs -.sp -.nf -Last updated: 30 September 2009 -Copyright (c) 1997-2009 University of Cambridge. -.fi |
