AWK: Multiple patterns per line
Hi there,
We have been given a bit of coursework using awk on html pages. Without giving too much away and risking the wrath of the plagerism checks, I can say we need to deal with certain html elements.
There may be several of these elements on one line. My question is, if there are more that one of these <tags> on a line, will awk pattern match the first one, perform the actions and then ignore the rest of the line? Or will it match the pattern, perform the action and then start where it left off, part way through the line?
If it does skip the rest of the line, how can I impliment a solution that will look at all the elements on a line?
Thank you for your help,
Plavixo

fc-match
FC-MATCH(1) FC-MATCH(1)
NAME
fc-match - match available fonts
SYNOPSIS
fc-match [ -asvVh ] [ --all ] [ --sort ] [ --verbose ] [ [ -f format ] [ --format format ] ] [ --version ] [ --help ]
[ pattern [ element... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
fc-match matches pattern (empty pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the best font available. If --sort
is given, the sorted list of best matching fonts is displayed. The --all option works like --sort except that no pruning is done on the
list of fonts.
If any elements are specified, only those are printed. Otherwise short file name, family, and style are printed, unless verbose output is
requested.
OPTIONS
This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-a Displays sorted list of best matching fonts, but do not do any pruning on the list.
-s Displays sorted list of best matching fonts.
-v Print verbose output of the whole font pattern for each match, or elements if any is provided.
-f Format output according to the format specifier format.
-V Show version of the program and exit.
-h Show summary of options.
pattern
Displays fonts matching pattern (uses empty pattern by default).
element
If set, the element property is displayed for matching fonts.
