Pattern matching notation

Hello,

I want to match this patterns
IS01ORA
IS02ORA
...
...
IS08ORA

With that :

Code:
IS[1-8]ORA

But it doesn't work, can you correct it ?

Thanks

Code:
IS0[1-8]ORA

[1-8] just matches a single character. To match the '0', you have to explicitly include it.

I have forgotten the zero, i meant
Code:
IS0[1-8]ORA

But the matching doesn't work ?

Thanks for your help.

You omitted the ")" after the pattern.

On an unrelated note, in case you are not aware, the following can be re-written ...

        *) return 1 ;;
        esac

... by combining pattern alternatives with "|".
Code:
        case $3 in
        0[1-9] | [1-2][0-9] | 3[0-1]) ;;
        *) return 1 ;;
        esac

Note that I did not double-quote $3. There's nothing wrong with doing so, but it's not necessary. Double quotes only protect against field splitting and pathname expansion (file globbing), neither of which is performed on the word which follows "case".

Alister
