Extracting regular expression
Hi there,
I need to extract from a long txt file only lines like this:
20 1.0000e+00 5.4392e-02 2.4665e+02
I've looked for a way by using sed, but I couldn't find the right way...
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hi,
Could anybody explain why will evaluate to true for a string that is not null, not empty string, and has at least one non-space char?
My understanding is that ^ means exclude all chars inside . So I thought it should mean anything except space.
This seems a big mystery to me. (9 Replies)

the last string passed to
The subroutine returns 0 if the string s was compiled successfully; otherwise a string containing an error message is returned. If is
passed 0 or a null string, it returns without changing the currently compiled regular expression.
The subroutine returns 1 if the string s matches the last compiled regular expression, 0 if the string s failed to match the last compiled
regular expression, and -1 if the compiled regular expression was invalid (indicating an internal error).
The strings passed to both and may have trailing or embedded newline characters; they are terminated by nulls. The regular expressions
recognized are described in the manual entry for given the above difference.
