I'm having trouble writing a regular expression that matches the text I need it to. Let me give an example to express my trouble. Suppose I have the following text:
I want to find the line "find me" and match everything up from it to the nearest "else if(condition)". There can be anything at all between them, including newline characters. I tried the following regular expression:
Code:
m/else\sif\(condition\)[\s\S]*?find\sme/
Unfortunately the above regular expression does not do what I want. It finds the first "else if(condition)" and selects everything down to the first "find me" despite the nongreedy asterisk. Is there a way to match the "find me" first and then search up for for the "else if(condition)"?
Note: I know the above example doesn't make any sense code-wise. It's not the text I'm trying to match, but it's much less complicated and expresses what I'm trying to accomplish better.
How can i create a regular expression which can detect a new line charcter followed by a special character say * and replace these both by a string of zero length?
Eg:
Input File san.txt

Hi,
In ksh, I am trying to compare folder names having -141- in it's name.

_lwp_cond_broadcast
_lwp_cond_signal(2) System Calls _lwp_cond_signal(2)NAME
_lwp_cond_signal, _lwp_cond_broadcast - signal a condition variable
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/lwp.h>
int _lwp_cond_signal(lwp_cond_t *cvp);
int _lwp_cond_broadcast(lwp_cond_t *cvp);
DESCRIPTION
The _lwp_cond_signal() function unblocks one LWP that is blocked on the LWP condition variable pointed to by cvp.
The _lwp_cond_broadcast() function unblocks all LWPs that are blocked on the LWP condition variable pointed to by cvp.
If no LWPs are blocked on the LWP condition variable, then _lwp_cond_signal() and _lwp_cond_broadcast() have no effect.
Both functions should be called under the protection of the same LWP mutex lock that is used with the LWP condition variable being sig-
naled. Otherwise, the condition variable may be signalled between the test of the associated condition and blocking in _lwp_cond_wait().
This can cause an infinite wait.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. A non-zero value indicates an error.
ERRORS
The _lwp_cond_signal() and _lwp_cond_broadcast() functions will fail if:
EINVAL The cvp argument points to an invalid LWP condition variable.
EFAULT The cvp argument points to an invalid address.
