Pass the grid as a space-separated list of lines. Replace unknowns by any non-numeric symbol.

NOTE: Only 9 by 9 grids can be input. Other sizes are currently not implemented. You can hardcode a grid and change the grid size constant for that.

./sudoku 86xxxxx2x xxxx6xxxx xx42x16xx 4xx5xx26x xx61x94xx x13xx6xx9 xx54x39xx xxxx1xxxx x8xxxxx74

Add the -k switch, assign a symbol to each region (starting at 0, use lowercase letters afterwards) and pass the regions' values as a comma-separated list of numbers.
