My question is, "Do I not understand, or is my information out of date?"
I am trying to just be a student, rtfm'ing. I am working on my work systems. Is it simply that the book was printed in 2002 and a lot has changed since then, or did I miss something?
Working in Korn Shell.
I have been reading O'Reilly "Learning the Korn Shell." (Which deals with ksh93)
We have Version M-11/16/88f, not 93.
I was reading about quoting, and the book cited an example using the 'find' command. It states that I need to quote wildcards used in the find command. It also says I need to use "-print" to see the results.
I use the find command a lot. I have neither been quoting/escaping, nor using -print, but I get what I am looking for:
I am not being deliberately thick. I am inclined to assume, "old book, old shell, it works how it works, move on..."
But, I have hamstrung myself in the past by carrying around half-misunderstood concepts. Quoting and regex are things that are fuzzy to me, and I want to get them straight.

Hi,
I've been trying to write a regex to use in egrep (in a shell script) that'll fetch the names of all the files that match a particular pattern. I expect to match the following line in a file:
Name = "abc"
The regex I'm using to match the same is:
egrep -l '(^) *= *" ** *"$' /PATH_TO_SEARCH... (6 Replies)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require page::util::quote ?0.1?
package require snit
::page::util::quote::unquote char
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.
API
::page::util::quote::unquote char
A character, as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the result
of the command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser and
will generate a human readable representation of the character in question. The string is returned as the result of this command.
The string does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser when
used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.
