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 demonstration program, which uses the original PCRE 8-bit library, 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 +In a Windows environment, if you want to statically link the program against a +non-dll \fBpcre.a\fP file, you must uncomment the line that defines PCRE_STATIC +before including \fBpcre.h\fP, because otherwise the \fBpcre_malloc()\fP and +\fBpcre_free()\fP exported functions will be declared +\fB__declspec(dllimport)\fP, with unwanted results. +.P +Once you have compiled and linked 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 both +PCRE libraries. The +.\" HREF +\fBpcredemo\fP +.\" +program is provided as a simple coding example. +.P +If 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: 10 January 2012 +Copyright (c) 1997-2012 University of Cambridge. +.fi |
