grep in openSUSE uses glibc regex by default. With -P command line argument it uses pcre. So if we will want consistent support for [=e=], then it should be in glibc. Note that libpcre documentation cleanly states, that [=e=] is not supported tere. 16. PCRE now gives errors for /[.x.]/ and /[=x=]/ as unsupported POSIX features, as Perl does. Previously, PCRE gave the warnings only for /[[.x.]]/ and /[[=x=]]/. PCRE now also gives an error for /[:name:]/ because it supports POSIX classes only within a class (e.g. /[[:alpha:]]/). -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: sbra...@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +49 911 7405384547 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
