regex in variable
Hello!
I have problems with syntax... I want a variable, that contains regex... is it possible? Like $ a='.+->.+' and then use it in index ($0, "a"). I guess it won't work... thank you

Yes - use eval. For example, here I define a regex then use it with egrep
Code:
$ regex='.+->.+' $ echo -e "somestring->someotherstring\ndont_match_this" somestring->someotherstring dont_match_this $ echo -e "somestring->someotherstring\ndont_match_this" | eval egrep "\$regex" somestring->someotherstring ZB

Thank you!
I know, that must be simple, but I can't figure out , why it is not working... I need a regex, that finds strings like "Aaaa->Bbbbb" but not "Aaaa-> Bbbbb" I tried .+-+>+.+ but it finds also with spaces... and .+-+>+[A-Z]+ finds totally wrong...
