Subject: [9fans] regexp to match paragraphs in troff documents
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2007 14:28:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <082ffdbcfda12b51637105e95ea479c8@mteege.de> (raw)
Moin,
I've tried to pipe paragraphs of a troff document to fmt but I
have problems with the correct regular expression. My first attempt
"/^\.[A-Z]++.*\n(^[^]*)*\n^\.[A-Z]++.*\n/" matches only any second
paragraph because the expression is overlapping. Does anyone have a nice
idea to match troff parapgraphs?
Many thanks
Matthias
