Hmm. Strange. Mastering Regular Expressions by O'Reilly has something about this, where they claim otherwise. I don't have the POSIX specification so I can check myself, though. | So is there no correct POSIX regex library in Debian? No, not if MRE is right. Which I suppose it is, but am not 100% sure of, as I haven't read the specs. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
