# 1) Regular Expressions Test
#
# Read a file of (extended per egrep) regular expressions (one per line),
# and apply those to all files whose names are listed on the command line.
# Basically, an 'egrep -f' simulator. Test it with 20 "vt100" patterns
# against a five /etc/termcap files. Tests using more elaborate patters
# would also be interesting. Your code should not break if given hundreds
# of regular expressions or binary files to scan.
# This implementation:
# - combines all patterns into a single one using ( ... | ... | ... )
# - reads patterns from stdin, scans files given as command line arguments
# - produces output in the format <file>:<lineno>:<line>
# - is only about 2.5 times as slow as egrep (though I couldn't run
# Tom's test -- this system, a vanilla SGI, only has /etc/terminfo)
