is there a way to place regular expressions on predicates like ~ in awk such
that
/execname ~ prog/ matches all executables with the ''prog''
substring?  thanks.

/strstr(execname, "foo") != NULL/

I was going back to the documentation hoping to see a subroutine for 
regexp processing that I had missed, when I realized that "strstr"
isn''t
there either.  I know this has been asked before, but I didn''t see any 
response: does anyone know if there''s a central location for 
documentation on the new features?

Thanks,
Chip
