+# This is an alternative to `sed`, `awk`, `perl` and other tools. The

+# `bash` will use whatever regex engine is installed on the user's system.
+# Stick to POSIX regex features if aiming for compatibility.
+
+# **CAVEAT**: This example only prints the first matching group. When using
+# multiple capture groups some modification is needed.
