I wrote an utility similar to SEARCH which accepts - by using Philip Hazel's PCRE library (http://www.pcre.org) - regular expressions as search patterns. It also provides a replace facility, allowing to replace matches by other strings (which can reference (parts of) the matches).

I want to ensure that - beside these additional Features - the utility (I called it REGSEARCH) behaves exactly as SEARCH (with VMS V8.4). So is there a test Suite to verify this? I think of a table with two colomns - the first contains a SEARCH command, the second the expected result. But I will appreciate any other hint too.
