[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



$ gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror -pedantic regex.c -o regex
$ ./regex.3
String = "1) John Driverhacker;
2) John Doe;
3) John Foo;
"
Matches:
#0:
offset = 25; length = 7
substring = "John Do"
#1:
offset = 38; length = 8
substring = "John Foo"
