question on egrep
Hi
I am trying to use this command:
egrep '^a{2,6}$' testexpr4D
to retreive lines with 2,3,4,5, or 6 a's in a file .
The file testexpr4D has entries like:
a
aa
aaa
aaaa
aaaaa
aaaaaa
123456
ABCDEF
I was expecting to see 5 lines in the output but nothing happens.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Rohit
