rm> Ok, but you should not include the full line in your pattern.
I vaguely remember that matching the whole line is a requirement
for standard tags files. I'll have to check that again.
rm> In other words, instead of
rm> /^abcd=: [-]$/
rm> (which will never match)
Yepp, I understand that. (I regularly ps ax | grep '[n]ame'.)
rm> use
rm> /^abcd=:/
... or /^abcd=:.*$/ or insert \ before magic characters.
Anyway - thanks for pointing the bug out!
