Bug ID: 2462
Summary: Request: pcre2sed and pcre2awk
Product: PCRE
Version: 10.33 (PCRE2)
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: medium
Component: Code
Assignee: p...@hermes.cam.ac.uk
Reporter: tri-m...@yandex.com
CC: pcre-dev@exim.org
Hello,
The contact page here (https://www.pcre.org) specified that I should open a bug
in the PCRE bug repository if I had a feature request.
I would like some information on whether there is some initiative to implement
equivalents of sed and awk with PCRE/PCRE2.
I started to use pcre2grep on my Linux systems at home and at work and I would
also want to replace sed and awk with an equivalent command that uses the
PCRE/PCRE2 regex engine.
If nothing is being developed in that respect, then, can someone provide me
with a suggestion on which tools I can use on Linux/*BSD systems that would
allow me to use PCRE/PCRE2 ? Implementations in any programming language or any
binary/program are welcomed.
It's 2019. I don't want to use GNU BRE or ERE, nor some weird regex flavours
that different programming languages use. I want to have PCRE2 support on the
command line.
Thanks for your time
