If I was doing the test you are trying to do with:
Quote:
if [[ "$F" == '*.txt.c' ]]
which is testing for a file literally called *.txt.c, if you changed the test to == "*.txt.c" then you would be comparing $F with a list of files in the pwd named <anything>.txt.c.
I would do it as:
Code:
if [[ -n "`echo ${F} | grep '\.txt\.c$'`" ]]
But then I tend to write Bourne shell with a few Korn shell enhancements when necessary.[COLOR="#738fbf"]

Hello,
from the gnu sed manual, I should be able to do this:
`\(REGEXP\)'
Groups the inner REGEXP as a whole, this is used to:
* Apply postfix operators, like `\(abcd\)*': this will search
for zero or more whole sequences of `abcd', while `abcd*'

Hi,
Putting across a few awk expressions.
Apart from the last, all of them are working.

Hi,
I'm trying to validate if a string matches a regular expression, but it is not working. Am I missing something? Do I need to scape any of the characters?
if echo 'en-GB' | egrep '({1,8})(-{1,8})*' >/dev/null; then
echo Valid value
fi
Thanks in advance (6 Replies)
Can you explain what this line of script is doing.
What I have understood is :
-- variable C is the name of a software which is either not installed, so it must be installed or allready installed and then should be update if newer version found
-- branch B="$B $C" is to install the software

I have a number of files that I pass through awk/gsub.
I believe to have found a working regex and on 'test bed' sites it matches, however within gsub it does not.
Examples:
Initial data:
/Volumes/Daniel/Public/Drop Box/_Hellsing_Ultimate_OVA_-_10_.mkv
gsub & regex:
gsub("\]+\]",""

Hello to all,
The Regex below is supposed to match all strings except RR45. I've tested in regex101.com and it works, butwhen I try to use it with the perl command below I get the error shown.
Regex=(?<=^|RR45)(?!RR45).+?(?=RR45|$)
How to fix this? I'm using Cygwin.

atf-sh
ATF-SH(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-SH(1)NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script
DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.
atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter-
preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
use any non-standard extensions.
The following options are available:
-s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
specific interpreter.
EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:
#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode
the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:
#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
