CHECK-REGEXP(1)			 User Commands		       CHECK-REGEXP(1)

NAME
       check-regexp -  test regular expressions from the command line

SYNOPSIS
       check-regexp 'regular expression' 'string1' 'string2' ...

DESCRIPTION
       check-regexp (GNU Source-highlight)

       You  simply pass as the first command line argument the regular expres‐
       sion and then the strings you want to try to match.
       It is crucial, in order to avoid shell substitutions, to	 enclose  both
       the expression and the strings in single quotes.

       The  program then prints some information about the possibly successful
       matching.
       In the output the what[0] part represents  the  whole  match,  and  the
       what[i] part represents the i-th marked subexpression that matched.

       The program also prints possible prefix and suffix.

OPTIONS
       This  program  follows  the  usual  GNU	command line syntax, with long
       options starting with two  dashes  (`-').   A  summary  of  options  is
       included below.

       -h, --help
	      Print help and exit

       -V, --version
	      Print version and exit
