For quite some time now, I've been getting peeved with egrep not doing what it should.
I have Squeese installed and up-to-date. In an xterm running bash or on a console running bash or dash, this command: ls -C1 | egrep "^[A-Z]" returns all lines except those beginning with 'a'. Even the following commands exhibit similar behavior: alias|sed -e 's/^a/b/'|egrep "^[A-Z]" # passes sed's output untouched alias|sed -e 's/^a/A/'|egrep "^[A-Z]" # passes sed's output untouched These commands behave the same way on another Squeeze installation at another location. Also, 'grep -E' behaves the same way. The commands behave as expected on a different GNU/Linux system. Does anyone else see this behavior? Or do I need to clean my pipe and smoke something better?
