Is the =~ operator supposed to recognize \n in patterns? Example: $ a='abc def'
$ if [[ $a =~ c\nd ]]; then echo ok; fi The above produces no output (I've tried using \\n, \\\n too), while using a literal newline works: $ if [[ $a =~ c$'\n'd ]]; then echo ok; fi ok Is that expected behavior or am I doing something wrong? I thought \n was pretty standard in regular expressions. Thanks.
