hi, =~ no longer working in bash. just try this little line: ----------------------------- if [[ "abc" =~ "abc.*" ]]; then echo inside; else echo outside; fi ----------------------------- this give "inside" up to 4.0, but it gives "outside" in 4.1. imho it's a serious changes since all shell script will fail which use =~ :-( is there any reason for this? or any quick fixes? thanks in advance. regards.
