Hi! ----
While writing a new application I hit a problem with the builtin egrep/grep/fgrep-pattern matching: -- snip -- $ (x="foo12bar" ; [[ "$x" = ~(E)12 ]] && print "match" || print "no match") match $ (x="foo12bar" ; [[ "$x" = ~(G)12 ]] && print "match" || print "no match") match $ (x="foo12bar" ; [[ "$x" = ~(F)12 ]] && print "match" || print "no match") no match -- snip -- Why does ~(F)12 not match "foo12bar" ? Does ~(F) have implicit left/right anchors, is it a bug or am I simply wrong and ~(F) doesn't work like "fgrep" ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;) _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
