Bash regex help

http://www.unix.com – I've been using the following regex below in a bash script on RHEL 5.5 using version GNU bash, version 3.2.25(1)-release I've tried using the script on RHEL 6.3 which uses GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release I assume there's been alot of changes to bash since that's quite a jump in revisions. I'm wondering if anyone can help me sort what might have to be modified in the code to make this work again. If I enter an e-mail address in a simple format like: user.user@test.com the scripts sees this as an invalid e-mail now, whereas before this would pass the regex. Code: #!/bin/bash echo (HowTos)

Running scripts from a list 32 weeks 1 day ago

I am writing a bash script to run test some scripts.

The names scripts of the scripts to tests are stored in an array.

Code: scptArr[1]='chcksfrd.bash' scptArr[2]='compute-misfit.bash' scptArr[3]='compute-travel-times.bash' scptArr[4]='create-data-tinv.bash' scptArr[5]='create-docs.bash' scptArr[6]='create-model.bash' scptArr[7]='darwin-ga.bash' scptArr[8]='listdir.bash' scptArr[9]=

After upgrading to a new release version, my bash scripts start spitting errors:

bash: /dev/stderr: Permission denied

in previous versions Bash would internally recognize those file names (which is why this question is not a duplicate of this one) and do the right thing (tm), however, this has stopped working now.

Hello All,

Most common shell commands allow the user to specify options in any random order. Positional Parameters like $1 as commonly used in bash (I tend to write all my scripts in Bash but I don't think this question is actually Bash specific) scripts on the other hand, are order specific.

Hey all,

I have a very simple regular expression that I use when I want to allow only letters with spaces.

Code: if [[ ${array[@]} =~ -{2}current|-{1}c ]]; then   echo "blah" fi I want it to "blah" if --current or -c is in array[@] but the problem is that it also "blah"s on -current as well which I don't want.
