Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: bash
The following regular expression should work in bash (and used to work
in Edgy), but no longer does:
if [[ "foo.tex" =~ '^(.*)\.tex$' ]]
then
file=${BASH_REMATCH[1]}
echo "File is: $file"
else
echo "Not a TeX file"
fi
It appears that regular expressions using the dot, star, carat and
dollar-sign metacharacters no longer work.
** Affects: bash (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
