18k results on 
<https://github.com/search?q=%2Fprintf%5B%5B%3Aspace%3A%5D%5D%2B%5B%22%27%5D%3F%5B%5E%22%27%5D*%25b%2F+language%3AShell&type=code>

Those actual numbers vary a lot depending on request accuracy. Because 
there is no Regex replacement for a shell language parser; it cannot 
match all syntactically valid use cases, even with a carefully crafted 
Regex.
