I am searching all over the place for this, just not finding anything solid
I want to do be able to access the groups that are matched with grep (either with extended regex, or perl compatible regex). For instance:
Of course this returns "abcd", but I would like to have access to each regex group that matched as well. In just bash, I believe there is a SUBMATCH array, but it seems to not be set in this case.
I am attempting to convert rewrite rules to Nginx, and since due to the mass amount of rewrites we must convert, I've been trying to write a script to help me on a specific part, easily.
So far I have this:
rewrite ^action/static/(+)/$ staticPage.php?pg=$1&%$query_string;

Hello,
I looking to use grep to return a string with exactly n matches.

Hello,
I'm working on unix with grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1. I'm going through some of the newer regex syntax using Regular Expression Reference - Advanced Syntax a guide.
ls -aLl /bin | grep "\(x\)"
Which works, just highlights 'x' where ever, when ever.

Hi,
I'm attempting to rename some files that have spaces in them. Without linking sed commands together is it possible to replace the first three "." to " ".
File.name.is.long.ext -> File name is long.ext
I can get the desired effect with

Hello,
I try to script something (bash-script) and can not find a way to get and store a match into a variable from a line in a file. grep isn't useful as the matches are not returned - just colored. I can't get 'expr' to work for me. Is it necessary to use a perl-script with regex instead?

Good day,
I have a list of regular expressions in file1. For each match in file2, print the containing line and the line after.

text::glob
Text::Glob(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::Glob(3)NAME
Text::Glob - match globbing patterns against text
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Glob qw( match_glob glob_to_regex );
print "matched
" if match_glob( "foo.*", "foo.bar" );
# prints foo.bar and foo.baz
my $regex = glob_to_regex( "foo.*" );
for ( qw( foo.bar foo.baz foo bar ) ) {
print "matched: $_
" if /$regex/;
}
DESCRIPTION
Text::Glob implements glob(3) style matching that can be used to match against text, rather than fetching names from a filesystem. If you
want to do full file globbing use the File::Glob module instead.
Routines
match_glob( $glob, @things_to_test )
Returns the list of things which match the glob from the source list.
glob_to_regex( $glob )
Returns a compiled regex which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.
glob_to_regex_string( $glob )
Returns a regex string which is the equivalent of the globbing pattern.
SYNTAX
The following metacharacters and rules are respected.
"*" - match zero or more characters
"a*" matches "a", "aa", "aaaa" and many many more.
"?" - match exactly one character
"a?" matches "aa", but not "a", or "aaa"
Character sets/ranges
"example.[ch]" matches "example.c" and "example.h"
"demo.[a-c]" matches "demo.a", "demo.b", and "demo.c"
alternation
"example.{foo,bar,baz}" matches "example.foo", "example.bar", and "example.baz"
leading . must be explictly matched
"*.foo" does not match ".bar.foo". For this you must either specify the leading . in the glob pattern (".*.foo"), or set
$Text::Glob::strict_leading_dot to a false value while compiling the regex.
"*" and "?" do not match /
"*.foo" does not match "bar/baz.foo". For this you must either explicitly match the / in the glob ("*/*.foo"), or set
$Text::Glob::strict_wildcard_slash to a false value with compiling the regex.
BUGS
The code uses qr// to produce compiled regexes, therefore this module requires perl version 5.005_03 or newer.
