Details:
the find man page says:
OPTIONS
All options always return true. Except for -daystart, -follow and
-regextype, the options affect all tests,
including tests specified before the option. This is because the
options are processed when the command line is
parsed, while the tests don't do anything until files are
examined. The -daystart, -follow and -regextype
options are different in this respect, and have an effect only on tests
which appear later in the command line.
Therefore, for clarity, it is best to place them at the beginning of
the expression. A warning is issued if you
don't do this.
when i run the following command there's no warning message:
find . -regex '\./smp\{1,\}.*' -regextype grep
