How can I get the matched text when using regular expression.
Hello:
Code:
(exp) :  match "exp",the matched text is stored in auto named arrays.

How can I get the matched text ? What is the name of the auto named arrays on linux shell ?

In what context? I'm not sure which "exp" you're talking about.

"the matched text is stored in auto named arrays" - Google - only one result. Smilie
Likely it's an output from a homemade script.
