Sure it's a POSIX regex. However, the man page points out that the pattern must *match* the *entire path*. Match vs. search maybe isn't clear if you're accustomed to always searching... A regex search will match if any part of the string fits the regex. A "match" is only good if the pattern fits the string from the very beginning. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
