Hello everybody,
I'd like to know how is it I should write a regex in unix to match a string not followed by another string (anywhere in the line).

Hi,
I need to do an exact find and replace (I don't want to use regular expressions because the input comes from user). I want to find a line that matches the user's input text and replace it with an empty string.
For example, let's say the user enters I love "Unix" and the contents of the... (2 Replies)

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.

Hi !
Before trying to write a code, is there any program or code that generates all the combinations of strings that simple awk regex can match.
By "simple regex" I mean let's say without "+", "*", and with a limited number of characters (e.g. from "1" to "5").
e.g:
input:
34?5

english5.18
English(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide English(3pm)NAME
English - use nice English (or awk) names for ugly punctuation variables
SYNOPSIS
use English;
use English qw( -no_match_vars ) ; # Avoids regex performance penalty
# in perl 5.16 and earlier
...
if ($ERRNO =~ /denied/) { ... }
DESCRIPTION
This module provides aliases for the built-in variables whose names no one seems to like to read. Variables with side-effects which get
triggered just by accessing them (like $0) will still be affected.
For those variables that have an awk version, both long and short English alternatives are provided. For example, the $/ variable can be
referred to either $RS or $INPUT_RECORD_SEPARATOR if you are using the English module.
See perlvar for a complete list of these.
PERFORMANCE
NOTE: This was fixed in perl 5.20. Mentioning these three variables no longer makes a speed difference. This section still applies if
your code is to run on perl 5.18 or earlier.
This module can provoke sizeable inefficiencies for regular expressions, due to unfortunate implementation details. If performance matters
in your application and you don't need $PREMATCH, $MATCH, or $POSTMATCH, try doing
use English qw( -no_match_vars ) ;
. It is especially important to do this in modules to avoid penalizing all applications which use them.
