Lines Matching refs:matches

343      This GNU extension matches every STEPth line starting with line
352      This address matches the last line of the last file of input, or
357      This will select any line which matches the regular expression
371      This also matches the regular expression REGEXP, but allows one to
396 separated by a comma (`,').  An address range matches lines starting
397 from where the first address matches, and continues until the second
398 address matches (inclusively).
414      `1,/REGEXP/', except that if ADDR2 matches the very first line of
452 matches a portion of a subject string that is identical to itself.  The
460      A single ordinary character matches itself.
463      Matches a sequence of zero or more instances of matches for the
474      As `*', but matches one or more.  It is a GNU extension.
477      As `*', but only matches zero or one.  It is a GNU extension.
480      As `*', but matches exactly I sequences (I is a decimal integer;
532      matches all vowels.  A list may include sequences like
533      `CHAR1-CHAR2', which matches any character between (inclusive)
536      A leading `^' reverses the meaning of LIST, so that it matches any
543      special within LIST.  For example, `[\*]' matches either `\' or
576      `\t' is not portable, and matches a `t' under most implementations
580    Note that the regular expression matcher is greedy, i.e., matches
581 are attempted from left to right and, if two or more matches are
603      first matches every string (including the empty string), while the
604      second matches only strings containing at least one character.
607      his matches a string starting with `main', followed by an opening
612      This matches a string beginning with `#'.
615      This matches a string ending with a single backslash.  The regexp
619      Instead, this matches a string consisting of a single dollar sign,
623      In the C locale, this matches any ASCII letters or digits.
626      (Here `tab' stands for a single tab character.)  This matches a
631      This matches a string consisting of two equal substrings separated
635      This matches nine characters followed by an `A'.
638      This matches the start of a string that contains 16 characters,
748      Apply the replacement to _all_ matches to the REGEXP, not just the
757      `sed', the interaction is defined to be: ignore matches before the
758      NUMBERth, and then match and replace all matches from the NUMBERth
1072 character, but rather to take it literally.  For example, `\*' matches
1088      Produces or matches a BEL character, that is an "alert" (ASCII 7).
1091      Produces or matches a form feed (ASCII 12).
1094      Produces or matches a newline (ASCII 10).
1097      Produces or matches a carriage return (ASCII 13).
1100      Produces or matches a horizontal tab (ASCII 9).
1103      Produces or matches a so called "vertical tab" (ASCII 11).
1106      Produces or matches `CONTROL-X', where X is any character.  The
1113      Produces or matches a character whose decimal ASCII value is XXX.
1116      Produces or matches a character whose octal ASCII value is XXX.
1119      Produces or matches a character whose hexadecimal ASCII value is
1136      Matches a word boundary; that is it matches if the character to
1141      Matches everywhere but on a word boundary; that is it matches if
1225      # \2 matches half of the spaces, which are moved to the beginning
1452      # Move first character at the end.  The regexp matches until
2097      So, `x\+' matches one or more occurrences of `x'.  `abc\|def'
2098      matches either `abc' or `def'.
2160      expression `^[a-z]$' matches the string `aa', because this is a
2201      matches the literal string `abc?'.
2204      becomes `c+' when using extended regular expressions.  It matches
2209      matches three or more `a's.
2213      matches either `abcabc' or `abcabcabc'.
