$ [[ abc =~ a.*c ]] && echo yes yes $ echo [EMAIL PROTECTED] abc $ echo $BASH_VERSION 3.2.9(10)-release Are you sure you are using the latest version of bash? (Hint - following these directions, and including 'cygcheck -svr' output as an attachment would help here). > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > I did't try bash from gnu.org yet but debian bash (version 3.1.0(1)) works with and without quotes. What part of "In bash 3.2, the [[ ]] quoting rules changed slightly" don't you understand? bash 3.1.0 has different quoting rules than 3.2, whether debian or cygwin packaged it. As I have not touched any of the upstream bash code in this area, you should not get any different behavior on this test case by building bash from the upstream sources, and I still haven't seen anything implicating a cygwin-specific bug. -- Eric Blake -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
