--pattern

This option can be used with or without positional arguments. When used without, it makes splitn generate random sequences based on given regular expressions. When used with operands, it narrows down generated sequences to those matching provided regular expressions.

$ splitn -p "\d \d .{2}"
8 1 Ua

$ splitn "\d{4}" -p "\d \d .*"
