I don't know who these guys are, but they're awesome.
#WINDOWS GREP PROGRAM CODE#
Thank you, Daniel.īefore Daniel, there are the makers of MinGW and CMake, the two open-source projects that allowed me to so easily compile the source code into Windows executables. Thanks to him, I was able to solve the problem in minutes, which gave me the great joy of compiling PCRE on my own machine. Daniel Richard took the time to examine my workflow and pinpoint what I was doing wrong. Of course I had no way of knowing that it was a silly reason. I tried compiling PCRE with the CMake option mentioned in the help file, but got stuck for a silly reason. When I started on this page, it had been twenty years since I'd compiled any of my own C code, and I was anxious at the thought of compiling in the age of Windows 7. I will start in reverse order, with the last (in that long chain) but not least. This "little page" is only possible because of a long chain of work by a lot of highly-skilled people.
#WINDOWS GREP PROGRAM HOW TO#
✽ Download pcregrep (or pcre2grep) and pcretest (or pcre2test)īefore we dive into how to use pcregrep and pcretest, some thanks are in order. As of 8.35, they are also compiled with the ANYCRLF option. The ones below are "fully loaded" and include the "just-in-time", "utf" and "unicode_properties" options. There are a number of compile options for pcregrep and pcretest. I would like to always have the latest version for you to download. In other words, these programs are ready to run. In this section, you can download Windows binaries of pcregrep and pcretest that I've compiled from the PCRE source code. Whenever you see pcregrep or pcretest on this page, substitute with pcre2grep or pcre2test if you are using PCRE2. In PCRE2 releases, the grep and test utilities are called pcre2grep and pcre2test. Versions of PCRE 10.0 and above are called PCRE2. On this page, I aim to make available Windows executables of the current version of the tools as soon as they are released.Ī lot of tools and languages are still using the PCRE1 branch (which is currently in bugfix mode), so please don't think you need to poopoo it! I try to keep up with the new versions that get released (bug fixes). Like the rest of the PCRE library, the tools are available in source form on the PCRE website. The second is another command-line utility, one that will allow you to debug or test the performance of PCRE patterns far more thoroughly than you could through an interface such as PHP. For those who haven't spent much time in unix, grep is a command-line utility to search text patterns (using regular expressions of course) inside a set of files-all the files on your hard drive if that's your pleasure. The first tool is a grep utility that uses the PCRE engine. It also lets you download Windows versions of both tools. This page focuses on two little-known but delightful tools that are part of the official PCRE distribution: pcregrep and pcretest.
