NAME

        bregex - Bacula's 'regex' engine

SYNOPSIS

       bregex [options] -f <data-file>

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -?     Show version and usage of program.

       -d nn  Set debug level to nn.

       -dt    Print timestamp in debug output

       -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.
