Re^2: system bash return value

in thread system bash return value

I second this answer. Just a reminder to Mind the meta!, otherwise the function is the rough equivalent of grep -P, which may or may not be what the OP wants.

Hi, I'm not quite sure why you refer to this post (Mind the meta!). The code I suggested in my post was, as I pointed out, "(j)ust an example to be adapted to (the OP's) specific needs". Depending on the situation, the regex might need an ignore case modifier, a quotemeta of the string used for the regex, etc. And the code might need some other changes, too.	[reply]

Hi Laurent_R, Depending on the situation, the regex might need ... a quotemeta of the string used for the regex That's all I was trying to say, and I refer to Mind the meta! because in my experience many wisdom seekers are not aware of that issue, and I've seen monks forget `\Q...\E` several times too. As I said, your post is what I would have replied to the OP, so ++! Regards, -- Hauke D	[reply] [d/l]
