A listing of this program is given in the +.\" HREF +\fBpcre2demo\fP +.\" +documentation. If you do not have a copy of the PCRE2 distribution, you can +save this listing to re-create the contents of \fIpcre2demo.c\fP. +.P +The demonstration program compiles the regular expression that is its +first argument, and matches it against the subject string in its second +argument. No PCRE2 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 +The code in \fBpcre2demo.c\fP is an 8-bit program that uses the PCRE2 8-bit +library. It handles strings and characters that are stored in 8-bit code units. +By default, one character corresponds to one code unit, but if the pattern +starts with "(*UTF)", both it and the subject are treated as UTF-8 strings, +where characters may occupy multiple code units. +.P +If PCRE2 is installed in the standard include and library directories for your +operating system, you should be able to compile the demonstration program using +a command like this: +.sp + cc -o pcre2demo pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8 +.sp +If PCRE2 is installed elsewhere, you may need to add additional options to the +command line. For example, on a Unix-like system that has PCRE2 installed in +\fI/usr/local\fP, you can compile the demonstration program using a command +like this: +.sp +.\" JOINSH + cc -o pcre2demo -I/usr/local/include pcre2demo.c \e + -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8 +.sp +Once you have built the demonstration program, you can run simple tests like +this: +.sp + ./pcre2demo 'cat|dog' 'the cat sat on the mat' + ./pcre2demo -g 'cat|dog' 'the dog sat on the cat' +.sp +Note that there is a much more comprehensive test program, called +.\" HREF +\fBpcre2test\fP, +.\" +which supports many more facilities for testing regular expressions using all +three PCRE2 libraries (8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit, though not all three need be +installed). The +.\" HREF +\fBpcre2demo\fP +.\" +program is provided as a relatively simple coding example. +.P +If you try to run +.\" HREF +\fBpcre2demo\fP +.\" +when PCRE2 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: pcre2demo: fatal: libpcre2-8.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, England. +.fi +. +. +.SH REVISION +.rs +.sp +.nf +Last updated: 02 February 2016 +Copyright (c) 1997-2016 University of Cambridge. +.fi
