I have a very simple regular expression that I use when I want to allow only letters with spaces. (I know this regex has a lot of shortcomings, but I'm still trying to learn them)
However, when I bring this over to BASH it doesn't allow me to enter spaces.
I use the following code to produce a variable, which I then check if check is empty or not:
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Sorry Scott,
When I say enter spaces I mean if I entered the following name:
John James Doe
That should be a valid match, but it isn't. Instead I have to enter
JohnJamesDoe (no spaces)
For it to be valid. I would like to be able to enter a name with a space (as in example 1)
In regards to the "remembered expression", I was following some online tutorials and that's how it showed me. If it is incorrect, I would appreciate it if you could show me the right way.
[Edit]: I did hit "post reply" but it just edited my main post and appeared to delete Scott's post... Sorry for the confusion.

Hi
I want to do a regex test and branch based on the test result, but this doesn't seems to work :confused:

It can get very annoying that bash regex =~ is case-sensetive, is there a way to set it to be case-insensetive?
if ]; then
echo match

echo no match

Hello everybody,
I'm clearly not an expert in bash scripting as I've written maybe less than 10 scripts in my life. I'm trying to strip an xml string removing every tag in it. I'm using bash substitution to do so, but apparently I missed something about what is a regex for bash ...

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam;
$lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
$code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa'
@codes = all_langfam_codes();
@names = all_langfam_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
ISO 639-5.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
language family codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
$lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages.
This is the default code set.
ROUTINES
code2langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
langfam2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
langfam_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_langfam_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_langfam_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::rename_langfam_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::add_langfam_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::LangFam::delete_langfam_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
