less 378 still not anchoring to \word\
Hello, I just reinstalled less from the cygwin site. It still doesn't seem to anchor to word boundaries using regex(3) rules i.e. \SomeWord\ doesn't match anything, as does SomeWord. I read a posting suggesing a solution by using perl syntax (apparently): /\bSomeWord\b That works, but is there a known reason why the regex notation doesn't work? I'd like to avoid surprises. Thanks. Fred -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Because less is linked with pcre(3), not regex(3).

It looks like I better accelerate my picking up of Perl.
