Thanks a lot, as soon as I read your post I realised that I had transient, (external), versions of the command(s)...
I assumed dash's and sh's version would be the same as my transient ones instead of resident, (builtin), ones...
Never make assumptions eh! I should stick to my own quotes.
OSX 10.14.1, default bash terminal calling dash...
I wasn't actually using this in any code I just wanted a raw file as a test, that is how I came across it.
Now logged in the old grey matter to use transient versions to test with too.
Looks like 'printf' is the way to go; for quickness I never even considered 'printf'...
Many thanks matey...

Hi,
I've been trying to write a regex to use in egrep (in a shell script) that'll fetch the names of all the files that match a particular pattern. I expect to match the following line in a file:
Name = "abc"
The regex I'm using to match the same is:
egrep -l '(^) *= *" ** *"$' /PATH_TO_SEARCH... (6 Replies)
