in thread system bash return value

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.

    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,
