NAME
	regexp - match a regular expression

SYNOPSIS
	string *regexp(string *array, string pattern)

DESCRIPTION
	Regexp is short for regular expression and it is a general way of
	matching string used frequently in unix. The funcion regexp in lpc
	tries to match all strings in the array against a regular expression
	contained in the string exp and return all strings that matched.
	This function can sometimes replace a filter_array() operation and
	should do so as it is much faster. Here is a short summary of regexps.

	ONE CHAR MATCHES:
	'c'	Matches the character c.
	'.'	Matches any character.
	'[abc]'	Matches one of the characters a, b or c.
	'[^ab]' Matches any character _but_ a or b.


	MULTIPLE CHAR MATCHES: ( 'c' can be any of the one char matches. )
	'c*'	Matches a sequence of zero or more of the character c.
	'c+'	Matches a sequence of one or more of the character c.

	MISC
	'^'	Matches the beginning of the string.
	'$'	Matches the end of the string.

	More information can be found in the unix or emacs documentation.
