The demonstration program, which uses the PCRE2 8-bit library, compiles the
regular expression that is its first argument, and matches it against the
subject string in its second argument. No PCRE2 options are set, and default
character tables are used. If matching succeeds, the program outputs the
portion of the subject that matched, together with the contents of any captured
substrings.

The code in <b>pcre2demo.c</b> is an 8-bit program that uses the PCRE2 8-bit
library. It handles strings and characters that are stored in 8-bit code units.
By default, one character corresponds to one code unit, but if the pattern
starts with "(*UTF)", both it and the subject are treated as UTF-8 strings,
where characters may occupy multiple code units.

If PCRE2 is installed in the standard include and library directories for your
operating system, you should be able to compile the demonstration program using
this command:
a command like this:
<pre>
gcc -o pcre2demo pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8
cc -o pcre2demo pcre2demo.c -lpcre2-8
</pre>
If PCRE2 is installed elsewhere, you may need to add additional options to the
command line. For example, on a Unix-like system that has PCRE2 installed in
<i>/usr/local</i>, you can compile the demonstration program using a command
like this:
<pre>
gcc -o pcre2demo -I/usr/local/include pcre2demo.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8
</PRE>
</P>
<P>
Once you have compiled and linked the demonstration program, you can run simple
tests like this:
cc -o pcre2demo -I/usr/local/include pcre2demo.c -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre2-8

Once you have built the demonstration program, you can run simple tests like
this:
<pre>
./pcre2demo 'cat|dog' 'the cat sat on the mat'
./pcre2demo -g 'cat|dog' 'the dog sat on the cat'
</pre>
