Machine Type: x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 4.1
Patch Level: 7
Release Status: release
Description:
I have a regular expression with a Ctrl-A character in the middle and I
can no longer get it to match with bash 4.1.7. However I can get
regular expressions to match as long as the Ctrl-A is at the beginning
or end of the regular expression so I suspect this is a bug.
Using 'shopt -s compat31' does allow the match to occur with a Ctrl-A in
the middle but I'd prefer to not use this if I don't have to.
Repeat-By:
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ llo ]] && echo match
match
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ world ]] && echo match
match
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ world$ ]] && echo match
match
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ ]] && echo match
match
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ oworld$ ]] && echo match
-bash-4.1$ shopt -s compat31
-bash-4.1$ [[ "helloworld" =~ oworld$ ]] && echo match
match
