Inside [[ ]] word splitting and wildcard expansion are not performed. So if you use == "*.txt.c" you are still comparing to a literal asterisk. Therefore you need to drop the "" as well in the case of pattern. "" are used for literal string matches. So you can use for example:
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,
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:

gsub & regex:

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.

LIBBASH(7) libbash Manual LIBBASH(7)NAME
libbash -- A bash shared libraries package.
DESCRIPTION
libbash is a package that enables bash dynamic-like shared libraries. Actually its a tool for managing bash scripts whose functions you may
want to load and use in scripts of your own.
It contains a 'dynamic loader' for the shared libraries ( ldbash(1)), a configuration tool (ldbashconfig(8)), and some libraries.
Using ldbash(1) you are able to load loadable bash libraries, such as getopts(1) and hashstash(1). A bash shared library that can be loaded
using
ldbash(1) must answer 4 requirments:
1. It must be installed in $LIBBASH_PREFIX/lib/bash (default is /usr/lib/bash).
2. It must contain a line that begins with '#EXPORT='. That line will contain (after the '=') a list of functions that the library
exports. I.e. all the function that will be usable after loading that library will be listed in that line.
3. It must contain a line that begins with '#REQUIRE='. That line will contain (after the '=') a list of bash libraries that are
required for our library. I.e. every bash library that is in use in our bash library must be listed there.
4. The library must be listed (For more information, see ldbashconfig(8)).
Basic guidelines for writing library of your own:
1. Be aware, that your library will be actually sourced. So, basically, it should contain (i.e define) only functions.
2. Try to declare all variables intended for internal use as local.
3. Global variables and functions that are intended for internal use (i.e are not defined in '#EXPORT=') should begin with:
__<library_name>_
For example, internal function myfoosort of hashstash library should be named as
__hashstash_myfoosort
This helps to avoid conflicts in global name space when using libraries that come from different vendors.
4. See html manual for full version of this guide.
