Summary: incorect documentaion for -regex Project: findutils Submitted by: None Submitted on: dim. 17 mai 2020 18:44:02 UTC Category: documentation Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: eni...@chezlefab.net Open/Closed: Open Release: None Discussion Lock: Any Fixed Release: 4.7.0 _______________________________________________________ Details: Hi, In find.texi line 488, it is sayed that regular expression used in find are compatible with emacs regexp. Yet, I tried to use `find -type f -regex '.\{3,\}'` to find files whose names are longer that 2 characters. There are existing, anyway. Find gave me no answer. I think the default regular expressions in find are not the same as emacs regexp. For completness, I use find from debian/sid package. By the way, I thank you for yours excellent tools.
