Re: [GLLUG] Grep question
Dear list, Thanks very much to all who answered this query; it seems obvious when one knows the answer, but I was fixated on the stop, and not the dash.

Does the stop have a special meaning when given first? The place to find the answer is in the regex(7) manpage: https://manpages.debian.org/testing/manpages/regex.7.en.html in which you'll find this sentence regarding bracket expressions: To include a literal '-', make it the first or last character, or the second endpoint of a range. (there's also more there about how to start a range with a `-`) Cheers, Phil. -- GLLUG mailing list GLLUG@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
[GLLUG] Grep question
Dear list,
In cleaning up mountains of OCR'd text, I've found Grep doing something
I don't undesrtand.
The aim is to locate lines ending with certain punctuation marks(-—.)
and spaces. But depending on the order of those punctuation marks, I get
different results. With the full stop listed first, I get two results,
one of which doesn't fit the criteria; with the stop third I get 5 lines
correctly matching the criteria (and I presume, all the lines that do
match).
johnl@Hasek:~/github/statutes$ grep ' [.-— ]\{3,\}$' W*/mon*.txt
and every of them are and is hereby obliged to accept, re- ...
1. s. Is there something about the order of characters in regex square
brackets? Does the stop have a special meaning when given first?
Thanks in advance,
John

Re: [GLLUG] Web hosting
Dear all, Thanks to everyone who replied. I went with mythic beasts in the end, though am thinking it would be a good idea to spread my (too) many sites over a couple of hosts, and will be keeping other options in mind.
