Hi there, I need to test that a variable ($VAR) matches a regex mask in BASH. I have the exact thing working in perl (below), but could somebody advise me how i would do the same in BASH ? do i need to use something like egrep ?
Code:
#!/bin/perl -w
my $VAR = "some value";
if ( $VAR =~ /^[a-zA-Z]+?=[\.\/a-zA-Z0-9_-]+?$/ ) {
print "match\n";
} else {
print "no match\n";
}
any help on this would be great

Why is only hello3 being printed? There must be some kind of syntax problem because the file list definitely includes all the file extensions line by line.
