grex: Replace Unicode word character with '\w'.
$ grex -w ${space_separated_strings}
try on your machine

The command "grex" is a tool for generating regular expressions based on input strings. It helps to quickly create regular expressions that match a set of given strings.

In this specific command, "grex -w ${space_separated_strings}", the "-w" option is used to generate a regular expression pattern for multiple space-separated strings.

The "${space_separated_strings}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual space-separated strings you want to generate the regular expression for. For example, if you have the following strings: "hello world", "foo bar", and "test example", you would replace "${space_separated_strings}" with "hello world foo bar test example".

By executing this command, the "grex" tool will analyze the input strings and generate a regular expression pattern that can match those strings.
