1 regular expression test set 2 Lines are at least three fields, separated by one or more tabs. "" stands 3 for an empty field. First field is an RE. Second field is flags. If 4 C flag given, regcomp() is expected to fail, and the third field is the 5 error name (minus the leading REG_). 6 7 Otherwise it is expected to succeed, and the third field is the string to 8 try matching it against. If there is no fourth field, the match is 9 expected to fail. If there is a fourth field, it is the substring that 10 the RE is expected to match. If there is a fifth field, it is a comma- 11 separated list of what the subexpressions should match, with - indicating 12 no match for that one. In both the fourth and fifth fields, a (sub)field 13 starting with @ indicates that the (sub)expression is expected to match 14 a null string followed by the stuff after the @; this provides a way to 15 test where null strings match. The character `N' in REs and strings 16 is newline, `S' is space, `T' is tab, `Z' is NUL. 17 18 The full list of flags: 19 - placeholder, does nothing 20 b RE is a BRE, not an ERE 21 & try it as both an ERE and a BRE 22 C regcomp() error expected, third field is error name 23 i REG_ICASE 24 m ("mundane") REG_NOSPEC 25 s REG_NOSUB (not really testable) 26 n REG_NEWLINE 27 ^ REG_NOTBOL 28 $ REG_NOTEOL 29 # REG_STARTEND (see below) 30 p REG_PEND 31 32 For REG_STARTEND, the start/end offsets are those of the substring 33 enclosed in (). 34
