Nice, though that does fail in the case where there is a leading space on a record.
Also, I realized I forgot to skip the header (
) - hope you don't mind my lifting from your code.

I have been using String.h with gcc 2.95. Now I have upgraded to gcc 3.4. The support for String.h has been removed and I believe Regex.h support is also not inbuilt. So I tried to build my own library for String.h. I had to use Regex.h and rx.h for a succesful library compilation.... (0 Replies)

I tried to extract the time from `date` with sed.

RE_COMP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual RE_COMP(3)
NAME
re_comp, re_exec - BSD regex functions
SYNOPSIS
#define _REGEX_RE_COMP
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>
char *re_comp(const char *regex);
int re_exec(const char *string);
DESCRIPTION
re_comp() is used to compile the null-terminated regular expression pointed to by regex. The compiled pattern occupies a static area, the
pattern buffer, which is overwritten by subsequent use of re_comp(). If regex is NULL, no operation is performed and the pattern buffer's
contents are not altered.
re_exec() is used to assess whether the null-terminated string pointed to by string matches the previously compiled regex.
RETURN VALUE
re_comp() returns NULL on successful compilation of regex otherwise it returns a pointer to an appropriate error message.
re_exec() returns 1 for a successful match, zero for failure.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
+---------------------+---------------+-----------+
|Interface | Attribute | Value |

|re_comp(), re_exec() | Thread safety | MT-Unsafe |
+---------------------+---------------+-----------+
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD.
NOTES
These functions are obsolete; the functions documented in regcomp(3) should be used instead.
