I tried this in octave 3.0.0 and got the following. but that is not 
using the current code.

octave-3.0.0:1> output = "gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 2";
octave-3.0.0:2> pattern = 
"^[^\\s]*\\s*([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)\\s*[^\\s]*\\s*([^\\s]*)";
octave-3.0.0:3> [d1, d2, d3, d4, matches] = regexp (output, pattern);
octave-3.0.0:4> if (iscell (matches) && numel (matches) > 0 && iscellstr 
(matches{1}))

octave-3.0.0:5> matches
matches =

{
[1,1] =

{
[1,1] = 4.2
[1,2] = 2
}

}

octave-3.0.0:6> __version__
__version__ = 4.2.2
octave-3.0.0:7>





I don't understand PCRE

address@hidden:~$ whereis pcre
pcre:
address@hidden:~$

Is it software that I should install? is it a library?
