I have:
w="/home/law/bin/package: line 5: type: xx: not found" The =~ operator is suppose to use the RH Expr as a ext.-regex. So why doesn't this match and print "not found"? if [[ $w =~ ".*not found.*" ]]; then echo "not found"; fi It prints nothing. Seems like such a basic concept. Sorry, this newbie needs help on such trivial matters. :-( > echo $BASH_VERSION 4.0.35(1)-release
