I read this and was somewhat confused by it. Could you clarify and educate me as to your use? Coreutils is not a "regex package" in the same way as pcre or slre. It does use regular expressions such as in 'expr'. So of course I wondered if you were using a command like 'expr' or were trying to extend coreutils with an additional command. Also, since the bug-coreutils mailing list is attached to a bug tracking system every message thread of discussion opens an issue ticket in the bug tracker. I believe this issue has been resolved satisfactorily by the subsequence responses. Do you agree? Thanks, Bob
