3.1 will remove the backslash as part of basic string parsing, just as if this were not part of a [[ command, while 3.2 handles the arguments for [[ specially, and will keep the backslash as part of the regexp. This will work in both versions: pattern='^\.*/' [[ ! $V =~ $pattern ]] && echo not paul _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
