Yes, I knew, thanks :) In any case, the rest of the script won't work in a non-SUS compliant environment, so strictly speaking this is not a portability issue. All systems this script runs on must support the '{N}' BRE, or it won't run properly the rest of the script anyway.

Didn't knew that it was the same as POSIX :???? > You are supposed to register, but access is free after that. You can even download it, I have it on my machine.
