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.

If the -g option is given on the command line, the program then goes on to

check for further matches of the same regular expression in the same subject

string. The logic is a little bit tricky because of the possibility of matching

an empty string. Comments in the code explain what is going on.

The code in \fBpcre2demo.c\fP 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.
