Abstract                : Sgrep (structured grep) is a tool for searching text files and
                          filtering text streams for structured criteria. Sgrep implements
                          a query language based on so called region expressions.
                          
                          Like grep, sgrep can be used for any kind of text 
                          files. However it
                          is most useful for text files containing some kind of structured text.
                          A file containing structured text could be defined as a file, which
                          obeys some syntax. Examples of structured text files are 
                          SGML, HTML, C, Tex 
                          and mail files.

                           o Find out mail senders of mail messages from a set of mail
                             files, which contain word 'SGML' in the subject line, do
