Hi Michael,

First thanks for your fast response!

Regards (1):

The problem is that I don`t understand at all the utility of those flags just by explanation of the man page (for example: how are processed the different lines of the input?) . If for example you have the following string:

set str "tcl bla 12 aab\n tk bra 34 rt\n tck bka 12\n"

Could you give me an example of the use of -lineanchor and -linestop when the regexp's input is str?.

Regards (2):

I have put a bad example (counting the amount of matches), the question is: if you need to parse an input with several lines and extract for each line an string that matches a given pattern (that is, a loop that processes line by line, and of each line it extracts certain pattern and stores it). How obtain you that with regexp?.

Thanks again!

Jorge.
