 +   @orig_string = "ABC DEF";
 +   @pattern = regcomp_cs(abc);
 +   if (regerror($pattern)) {
 +      xecho -b Error compiling regex: $regerror($pattern);
 +   };
 +   if (regexec($pattern $orig_string) == 0) {
 +      xecho -b It matched!;
 +   } else {
 +      xecho -b Regex error: $regerror($pattern);
 +   };
 +   @regfree($pattern);
 +</file>
