Could you give an example of how you think it should work? (Just curious and trying to keep up.) Are you thinking that this should match: [[ "string" =~ [a-z] ]] && echo matched || echo not matched Which this should not match? [[ "string" =~ "[a-z]" ]] && echo matched || echo not matched Thanks Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
