    Regular Expressions

    If I want to search a string for a sequence that is followed by a "?" (ex. abc?), how could I do this? I was having trouble with it because that is used to signify types of regular expressions.

    we're talking about on unix? If I understand your question correctly you need to "escape" it.

    ex...

    *\?

    You could probably use regular expressions, but why not .Split( "?" ) the string ?

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Are you using '@' to preceed the string defining your regex pattern?

    you could use a finite state machine.
    Code:
    int main(void){srand(time(0));for(double l=rand(),l0=0,l00=0;;l0+=0.1){for(double l000=0;l000
    <1;l000+=.001,l+=((double)rand()/RAND_MAX)/0x64,l00+=((sin(l*0x8*atan(l0)*l000-(l0*0x8*atan
    (l)))*0.5)+0.5)){l00-=floor(l00);for(size_t l0000=0,l00000=(size_t)(0x50*(l00));l0000<l00000;++l0000
    )putchar(0x20);putchar(0x61+(int)((double)rand()/RAND_MAX*0x1a));putchar('\n');}}return 0;}
