HP R4.2 pat, <chr, [xxx], \<chr, logCat, [^xxx], <chr>+, <chr>{m,n}, A Summary of Commands

A Summary of Commands logCat

The second search language uses the standard "regular" expression syntax. It is in effect when the -R flag is specified. It supports:

•^ — Beginning of message

•$ — End of message

•. — A single unspecified character

•[xxx] — Any character is the list "xxx". "xxx" may include ranges of characters: A-Z, etc.

•[^xxx] — Any character not in the list "xxx"

•<chr>* — Any number of occurrences of <chr> including 0

•<chr>+ — Any number of occurrences of <chr> with a minimum of 1

•<chr>{m,n} — From 'm' to 'n' occurrences of <chr>

•\<chr> — Normal C backslash conventions, \n \t \b \f \r \NNN \\ \[

•(pat) — Parentheses serve to group portions of a pattern. {pat} can be any legal pattern of its own. The '*', '+', and '{m,n}' operators can be applied to the entire grouping within the ()s, (in other words, ([bB]ob)+ means one or more occurrences of "bob" or "Bob").
