            Bug ID: 2462
           Summary: Request: pcre2sed and pcre2awk
           Product: PCRE
           Version: 10.33 (PCRE2)
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: medium
         Component: Code
          Assignee: ph10@???
          Reporter: tri-mate@???

Hello,

The contact page here (https://www.pcre.org) specified that I should open a bug
in the PCRE bug repository if I had a feature request.

I would like some information on whether there is some initiative to implement
equivalents of sed and awk with PCRE/PCRE2.

I started to use pcre2grep on my Linux systems at home and at work and I would
also want to replace sed and awk with an equivalent command that uses the
PCRE/PCRE2 regex engine.

If nothing is being developed in that respect, then, can someone provide me
with a suggestion on which tools I can use on Linux/*BSD systems that would
allow me to use PCRE/PCRE2 ? Implementations in any programming language or any
binary/program are welcomed.

It's 2019. I don't want to use GNU BRE or ERE, nor some weird regex flavours
that different programming languages use. I want to have PCRE2 support on the
command line.

Thanks for your time
