Well, either grep or bash: [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> echo >test-grep.txt " 123 ; pretend asm comment" [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> cat test-grep.txt 123 ; pretend asm comment [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep "[0-9]+[\t ]*;" test-grep.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep "[0-9]*[\t ]*;" test-grep.txt 123 ; pretend asm comment [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep "[0-9]\+[\t ]*;" test-grep.txt 123 ; pretend asm comment [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep '[0-9]+[\t ]*;' test-grep.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep '[0-9]*[\t ]*;' test-grep.txt 123 ; pretend asm comment [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> grep '[0-9]\+[\t ]*;' test-grep.txt 123 ; pretend asm comment [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek> shopt extglob extglob off [EMAIL PROTECTED] /davek>
Ok, since when has the plus sign been a bash metachar? I'm sure I've never
had to escape it before, but am I remembering wrong?
cheers,
