I don't know how I can describe the problem without talking all day, especially since this code is proprietary.
Basically the entire ! -regex "regex" as well as possible other ! -regex and ! -name are contained within a single variable, I'm running this on a dir to find non-compliant files for an audit.
For example:
Run as:
Within this variable all the -regex arguments are surrounded in double quotes to prevent them from blowing up, otherwise everything else is left unquoted.
Both the ! and the -regex arguments are getting surrounded in single quotes. I cannot get rid of these single quotes no matter what it seems, Linux puts them there.
I have some files in unix
ls -1

To find all the files in your home directory that have been edited in some way since the last tar file, use this command:

Is anyone familiar with an older solution?

re_comp
RE_COMP(3) Linux Programmer's Manual RE_COMP(3)NAME
re_comp, re_exec - BSD regex functions
SYNOPSIS
#define _REGEX_RE_COMP
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <regex.h>
char *re_comp(char *regex);
int re_exec(char *string);
DESCRIPTION
re_comp() is used to compile the null-terminated regular expression pointed to by regex. The compiled pattern occupies a static area, the
pattern buffer, which is overwritten by subsequent use of re_comp(). If regex is NULL, no operation is performed and the pattern buffer's
contents are not altered.
re_exec() is used to assess whether the null-terminated string pointed to by string matches the previously compiled regex.
RETURN VALUE
re_comp() returns NULL on successful compilation of regex otherwise it returns a pointer to an appropriate error message.
re_exec() returns 1 for a successful match, zero for failure.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD.
NOTES
These functions are obsolete; the functions documented in regcomp(3) should be used instead.
