Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Unixre (Boolean)
 
     The Unixre switch determines if PWB uses UNIX regular-expression
     syntax or PWB's non-UNIX regular-expression syntax for search and
     replace commands.
     See: Mgrep, Msearch, Psearch, Replace
          ◄Regular Expressions► ◄Search menu, Find►
          ◄Search menu, Replace
 
     The Unixre and Case switches have no effect on the syntax of
     regular expressions used by the Build or Word switches. These
     switches always use case-sensitive UNIX regular-expression syntax.
     See: Build, Case, Word
