I use bash and fileutils from the latest distribution
on Windows-NT 4.0 SP5.
expr 'abc' : '^a\(.\)c$'
delivers:
expr: warning: unportable BRE: `^a\(.\)c$': using `^' as the first
character
of the basic regular expression is not portable; it is being ignored
Question:
I think the character '^' in a BRE is not irrelevant,
why is it ignored?
Regards
Helmut Dipper
