Hi, In z/OS V1R6.0 UNIX System Services Command Reference(SA22-7802-06,http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/bpxza550.pdf) page 30-31, it shows an example for literal strings as regular expressions. ---------------------------------- Note: When you use literal strings as regular expressions, you need extra backslashes to escape regular expression metacharacters, because the backslash is also the literal string escape character. For example the regular expression:
/e .g\7./ when written as a string is: "e .g .." ---------------------------------- What does "\7" means? Who will be so kind to give me more detailed description for the above awk regular expression example? Thank you very much!
