if [[ $file =~ "02\\-[0-9]\{2\}-2015" ]]; then cp $file /tmp/feb;fi
The problem is the regex is not picked up in this test condition. Can someone help? In addition, I need to make sure that the newline is not printed, the filenames have spaces in them, and that is why IFS='\n' is used.
I believe the following change to Aia's test should match the original grep criteria. Also =~ if for awk, in bash/ksh use = instead
Code:
for file in *; do
if [[ "$file" = *02-[0-9][0-9]-2015* ]]
then
echo cp "$file" /tmp/feb
fi
done
This is the line that the OP posted having problems with:
Code:
if [[ $file =~ "02\\-[0-9]\{2\}-2015" ]];
The intention was to just show where the trouble originate from, thus, basically, the copy and paste.
Otherwise, I would have not even bother with a loop, a simple ls pattern | xargs cp would have done the job.

Since version 3 bash obtained its own regex-match operator: =~.

Hi,
I have a Python unit test cases source code file which contains more than a hundred test case methods.

I read a command on every loop an execute it.
I check if the string equals the word stop to end the loop,but it say that I gave too many arguments to test.
For example echo hello.
