Re: [MLUG] String manipulation in C

[Jack Smith <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The matches will need to be put in a MATLAB data frame first and then a
MySQL database later. Outputting data in columns would work as I could
read the columns in later to make the data frame. 

I know that grep will find the expression as many times as it appears in
the string searched. But I need it to find how many characters the start
of the match is from the start of the string. The best that I see can
come from grep is number of letters that the first character in the line
the match is in is from the start (the byte offset.) But I need the
actual distance from start -> match.
