regex problem with +
Hi,
Can someone tell me why the first regular expression with the + fails to match the input string?
SUN /web>echo cat | grep '[a-z]+'
SUN /web>echo cat | grep '[a-z]'
cat
I'm running SunOS 5.10
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried to extract the time from `date` with sed.
(I know it works with `date +%H:%M:%S` as well)
I got three solutions of which just one worked. I thought "+" should repeat the previous expression 1 or more times and {n} should repeat the previous expression n times.

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
