bregex - Bareos's 'regex' engine
bregex [options] -f <data-file>
This manual page documents briefly the bregex command.
This program can be useful for testing regex expressions to be applied against
a list of filenames.
A summary of options is included below.
- -?

- -dt

- -f <data-file>
- The data-file is a filename that contains lines of data to be matched (or
not) against one or more patterns. When the program is run, it will prompt
you for a regular expression pattern, then apply it one line at a time
against the data in the file. Each line that matches will be printed
preceded by its line number. You will then be prompted again for another
pattern.
- -n
- Print lines that do not match
- -l
- Suppress lines numbers.
